How Long Does It Take To Paint?

Posted on May 30, 2022

How long does it take to paint a house? Painting the exterior of your home can take as little as a week up to several weeks depending on many factors: the size of the home, number of stories, the type of material being painted, same color or color change, the amount of prep work needed in advance of painting, using a large professional painting crew or DIY and even weather can be a factor. A crew of 3 professional painters could paint an average size home in about a week. Ready to find out exactly how long it will take to paint the exterior or your home? Call or fill out our online form for a free in-home estimate today!

How long does it take to paint a room? This depends on a number of factors: the square footage/size of the room, the amount of prep work involved, painting a room the same color(s) or changing the color(s) and also if you are painting the ceiling and trim or just the walls. Here at CertaPro Painters® of San Francisco we’d be happy to come out and give you an estimate on your project. Call us or fill out our online form for a free in-home estimate today!
