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. See our guide on how often to paint the exterior of your home for more information.
