How Much Should Exterior House Painting Cost

Whenever someone decides it’s time to paint the exterior of their home, they wonder how much it will cost to have a professional painter do it. In the grand scheme of things, such as getting the paint, tools, and equipment to do the work yourself, the cost of exterior house painting services may be worth it. But even with all of the work that goes into doing it yourself, you may still be a bit scared to know how much exterior house painting costs.

The good news is that it IS affordable.

Most people are surprised to know that exterior house painting services aren’t as expensive as they assumed.

The Cost of Exterior House Painting Services

The cost of exterior house painting can range from $5,000 to $10,000. Nationally, the average cost is about $7,500. But WAIT – Don’t click off this blog in shock. Let us explain how we determine the cost.

Square Footage

The size of your home matters a great deal. A smaller house won’t cost as much as a large house to paint. It takes less paint, not as much time, and not nearly as much paint.

We do not know the sizes of the homes that the above average is based on, so your house could actually be much less to paint.

Height

The height of the house has a lot to do with the cost of exterior painting services. If we need to bring in scaffolds or a lift, it will cost more than if we on’t use ladders to paint the highest points of your house.

Many homeowners decide only to paint the lower trim of their house for this reason. It is a consideration and something you can speak to the estimator about if you have a particular budget you’d like to stick to for this painting project.

Ease of Access

For exterior painting, this has to do with if there are any obstacles in the way, such as trees. If exterior house painters have to maneuver around trees, columns, plants, bushes, etc., it will take more effort and time to paint, which increases the cost.

Type of Paint

While we always use the highest quality paint possible for our exterior painting, there are many different types to choose from depending on the type of exterior you have on your house. Some types are more expensive than others, so that will factor into the cost of the work.
