Exterior House Painting Pricing Guide
CertaPro Painters® of Portland
How much will it cost to paint my home’s exterior in the Portland area?
CertaPro’s guide to exterior painting pricing in the Portland region:
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 things might affect the price from these ballpark estimates, such as:
The number of surfaces we’ll be painting will affect the price. For example will we be painting your trim? Shingles? Decks? Clapboards?
The conditions of the surfaces we’ll be painting makes a difference in preparation cost. If there are lots of dings, scratches and holes, we’ll need to add more labor time to your quote to fill and sand them.
The height of your home is a factor because painting a first and second story is easier than painting a third or fourth story. High areas that require intricate ladder moves to reach will require more labor as well.
Will you be changing colors? If you’re changing the color of your exterior to something much darker or much lighter, it will require more coats of paint to cover over the old color. In general, we quote projects with 1-2 coats of paint if they are the same or a similar color to the surface paint we’ll be covering. If we’re painting your exterior a different color altogether (i.e. changing the clapboard color from brown to beige) We’ll need to apply a tinted primer coat first and then 2-3 top coats in order to get good coverage and not have the old color seep through the new color.
Some examples of our pricing using typical homes in the Portland area.
Limitations that accompany these prices:
Clapboard and trim prices are based on spot priming (priming only those areas that are “raw” or have been sanded/filled/prepped) and 1 top coat of paint.
Prices include a quality residential coating such as Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore products. Choosing a decent paint matters, and will almost always save you money in the long run (even when you’re painting yourself!).
Whether you land on the high or low end of the price range(s) depends on neccessary preparation and access issues on the property. Scaffolding for instance, will raise the estimate price. All ranges are in regards to full exterior repaints, and prices may vary depending on the extent of the work.
