How Much Will It Cost to Paint the Exterior of My Home?

How much will it cost to paint my home’s exterior in the San Antonio Metro Area?

Many people want to understand our pricing to help them budget their project, so we’ve put together this guide to help you.

The prices published here are only averages, and some factors may affect the price beyond these ballpark estimates, such as:

  • Number of surfaces: The price will depend on how many surfaces we’ll be painting. For example, will we be painting your trim, shingles, decks, or clapboards?
  • Condition of surfaces: The preparation cost will vary based on the condition of the surfaces. If there are many dings, scratches, or holes, more labor time will be needed for filling and sanding.
  • Home height: The height of your home plays a role as well. Painting a one or two-story home is easier and faster than painting a three or four-story home. Hard-to-reach areas requiring intricate ladder moves will also add to labor time and cost.
  • Changing colors: If you’re planning to change your exterior color significantly, such as going from a darker to lighter shade (or vice versa), more coats of paint will be necessary. For color changes, we typically apply a tinted primer coat followed by 2-3 top coats to ensure proper coverage and prevent the old color from showing through.

Choice Examples of pricing for homes in the San Antonio Metro Area:

Here are some examples of pricing for typical homes in Bexar and Comal Counties:

  • Clapboard and trim: Prices are based on spot priming (priming only areas that are raw, sanded, or prepped) and 1 top coat of paint.
  • Paint quality: We include premium residential paints like Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore. Using a good-quality paint can save you money over time, even if you’re doing the project yourself.
  • Additional factors: Whether your project is on the high or low end of the price range depends on necessary preparation work and access challenges, such as the need for scaffolding. All prices are for full exterior repaints, and actual costs may vary based on the scope of the work.

Localized to the San Antonio area, this guide provides an idea of the exterior painting cost but keep in mind that final pricing will vary depending on specific project details.

Tan Stucco Exterior

Tan Stucco Exterior in Bulverde, TX

Expect to Budget
$4,500 – 7,500

Tan stucco homes are a common sight throughout Bulverde, TX, and for good reason—they hold up well in the Texas heat and have a clean, timeless look. If you’re planning to repaint a tan stucco exterior, you can generally expect a budget range of $4,500 to $7,500 depending on the square footage, number of stories, and how many surfaces are included. In Bulverde, we see a wide mix of single-story ranch homes and larger two-story layouts. The price range above reflects full coverage of exterior walls, standard masking and protection, and typical trim and detail work. If repairs or color changes are part of the job, that can move things up on the pricing scale.

Brick Exterior Restoration in Rogers Ranch, TX

Expect to Budget
$3,500 – 6,500

Brick exteriors in Rogers Ranch are known for their durability, but over time, weather and sun exposure can cause fading, mortar cracks, and discoloration. Our team specializes in restoring brick homes by cleaning, repairing, and sealing the surfaces to bring back a consistent, polished look. Whether your brick is showing signs of wear or you’re just looking to refresh the appearance, we tailor the scope of work based on the age of the brick, the level of staining, and any previous coatings that may need removal. For this type of project, homeowners typically budget between $3,500 and $6,500. We’ve completed many of these projects in Rogers Ranch, and the final result always makes a visible impact without changing the natural character of the brick.

Barn Painting Project

White Barn Exterior Repaint in Johnson City, TX

Expect to Budget
$5,000 – 10,000

White barns in Johnson City take a beating from sun, wind, and the occasional Hill Country storm. When wood siding starts to fade, chip, or peel, it’s not just a cosmetic issue—it opens the door for moisture and long-term damage. For a project like this, you should expect to budget between $5,000 and $10,000 depending on square footage, the number of buildings, and the current state of the surface. Factors like rot repair, ladder work for tall gables, and the number of coats needed can shift pricing up or down. Most barns in this area fall right in that range, especially if they haven’t been painted in over a decade. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to assess the property and give you a solid estimate before anything begins.

Garage Door Staining Project in San Antonio, TX

Expect to Budget
$2,500 – 4,500

Garage doors take a beating from the South Texas sun, and over time, that exposure can cause fading, cracking, or peeling in stained wood finishes. For most homes in San Antonio, the average cost for this type of project ranges between $2,500 and $4,500. That estimate includes prep work like sanding and cleaning, the use of high-quality stain products, and sealing for durability. Solid wood and custom doors may fall on the higher end of that range, especially if detail work or multiple coats are needed. We’ll walk you through options that fit your goals, whether you’re going for a deep, rustic tone or something lighter and more modern.
