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 Guadalupe 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.

Entryway

Single Story Brick Limewash in McQueeney, TX

Expect to Budget
$6,000 – 8,000

Limewashing has been gaining traction in McQueeney, TX, as more homeowners are drawn to its unique look and practical benefits over traditional brick painting. Unlike paint, which sits on the surface and needs frequent reapplication due to sun damage, limewash penetrates the brick, providing a more durable, long-lasting finish that helps protect against the harsh Texas elements. Its growing popularity in the area also comes from its natural appearance, giving homes a soft, weathered look while maintaining a protective barrier. While limewashing may cost more upfront compared to standard brick painting, many homeowners see it as a worthwhile investment for its longer lifespan and better breathability for the brick.
