Here’s a glimpse into our proven exterior painting process:


1. Honest Estimating

When you’re ready to hire CertaPro Painters® for your exterior house painting services, you’ll work with an estimator who will provide a straightforward estimate for the entire job with no hidden fees.

  • An estimator visits your home to gather all the details about the project
  • A free, no-obligation estimate is provided to you
  • Exterior house painting is scheduled as quickly as possible
  • An estimator provides you with a project timeline
  • You choose paint colors with the help of a CertaPro Painters® Color Consultant

Every house painting project is unique, so there is no way to guess what your price will be until an estimator sees your home and understands the scope of work that needs to be completed. This is how CertaPro Painters® delivers an accurate and complete estimate for you.


2. Thorough Preparation

The CertaPro Painters® team understands how important preparation is to ensure the final paint job is the highest quality possible, and we follow essential steps to prepare all surfaces before a single paintbrush touches them, including:

  • Washing of all surfaces to remove any mildew or mold
  • Scraping off any loose paint and preparing any glossy areas by scuffing and sanding them
  • Filling gaps with caulk to ensure there are no future water intrusions

All steps in the preparation stage of your exterior house painting services are comprehensive and completed with great attention to detail and care for your home. We stay in constant communication during your project, so you feel comfortable with the work your painting team is doing for you.

Common Questions About Exterior Painting Projects

How much does exterior house painting cost per square foot?

There are many factors that impact the price of exterior painting projects, including the type of surface being painted, the number of coats, damage to surfaces needing repairs, the ease of access to surfaces (is special equipment like scaffolding or lifts needed), and the region the project is in.

To get accurate pricing for your unique project, set up an estimate appointment with your local independently owned and operated CertaPro Painters® franchised business.

Can CertaPro Painters® repair damaged exterior surfaces as part of the project?

It depends on the scope of the damage. Many of our independently owned and operated CertaPro Painters® franchises can do non-structural light carpentry repairs to exterior surfaces including replacing rotted wood, patching cracks in stucco, and replacement of trim.

Can you paint my exterior in rainy weather?

Mother Nature is a powerful force and one that we pay close attention to. Your local painting team will do its best to reschedule your project in a timely manner, if it is delayed due to inclement weather.

Can exterior painting be done in cold weather?

Most paint products advise not to paint when the temperature is below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Some products that utilize new technology can be applied as low as 35 degrees, but we generally advise not doing exterior painting when in cold months.

What are the benefits of painting my home’s exterior?

Paint is the first line of defense for your home. Paint protects the surfaces on the exterior of your home from rain, snow, sun and other weather-related damage. It is important to maintain the exterior painted surfaces to prevent long term damage to the home.

How should I prepare for my exterior painting project?

To make your home transformation the best experience possible, when having the exterior of your home painted make sure the perimeter of the home is clear of any major obstructions that would get in the way of the painters. If you have any pets, please keep them inside while the painters are working on the exterior.

How often should I paint the exterior of my home?

It will depend on several factors, but on average most homes need exterior painting done every 10 years.
