What it includes

Every time, without asking

  • Assess existing coatings and surface condition
  • Plan cleaning, repairs, masking, and surface preparation
  • Specify compatible primers and finish coatings
  • Review color samples outdoors before application

What it does not

So the estimate is the invoice

  • Work outside the agreed written scope is priced separately.
  • Specialist investigation, concealed repairs, and related finish work must be identified before they are included.

How it is priced

Project size, preparation, surface condition, access, and selected coatings determine the estimate. These example ranges are for demonstration only.

Ranges for a conversation. The written estimate after the walk is the number, and the invoice is that number unless you sign a change.

  • One-storey, about 1,600 sq ft, sound$5,000 to $9,000
  • Two-storey, about 2,400 sq ft, sound or chalky$9,000 to $16,000
  • One elevation or a porch$1,800 to $5,000
  • Trim and doors only$2,000 to $6,000

Questions we get

The ones people ask on the walk.

What determines the cost of exterior painting?
The size and height of the house, access, surface condition, repair needs, and coating system all affect the estimate. Compare proposals by preparation and surfaces included, not price alone.
How is exterior house painting priced?
The estimate depends on the project size, existing conditions, access, materials, and work included. Any figures shown here are demonstration planning examples, not a contractor quote.
What happens if the scope changes?
The proposed change should explain the additional or omitted work, price, and schedule effect so it can be reviewed before proceeding.
