Exterior Painting FAQ
How much does exterior painting cost?
A small home around 1,200 square feet of wall surface often runs $2,150–$3,250. An average home is about $4,000–$6,000. A large home can reach $6,250–$9,500. Prep is most of the bill.
Do I need to pressure wash before painting?
Yes. Dirt, chalking, and mildew have to come off or the new coat will not bond. Skipping the wash is a common reason exterior paint peels in a season.
How long does exterior paint last?
A well-prepped acrylic job often lasts 7–10 years, shorter on harsh sun and salt air, longer on shaded walls. Trim and south faces fail first. Body and trim on different schedules is normal.
