What affects the price
When you get a quote for exterior painting, the final number depends on a few straightforward things. The biggest factors are the total square footage of your home and how many stories high it is. If your siding has rotting wood, major cracks, or old lead paint that needs scraping, that adds labor time. Using premium, long-lasting coatings also shifts the budget compared to standard options. Complex architectural details or trim work often require extra prep. We will get your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Behr is a brand of architectural coatings you can find at home improvement stores. You might choose this for a DIY project if you enjoy doing the labor yourself. However, for large exterior jobs, professional crews often use specialized commercial-grade products that are not available on retail shelves. If you are looking for a long-lasting finish for your siding, we can discuss which professional-grade materials are best suited for your home's specific surface during our consultation. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Summer offers the best conditions for paint to bond quickly, provided it isn't scorching hot. Direct, intense sunlight can cause paint to dry too fast, which leads to brush marks or uneven texture. Our teams often adjust their hours to paint during the cooler parts of the morning. This keeps the finish smooth and durable despite the heat of the season.
Frequently asked in Austin
What causes paint to peel on exterior walls in Austin?
In Austin, the primary culprit for peeling exterior paint is often the intense sun and heat. UV rays break down the paint binder over time. Moisture trapped behind the paint film is another major cause; this can happen from rain or humidity getting into the walls. If the surface wasn't properly prepared before painting, or if the wrong type of paint was used, peeling can also occur. The pros ensure proper surface prep and use paints suited for Texas weather.
What's the best type of paint for Austin's climate?
For Austin's climate, you want exterior paint that can withstand high temperatures and UV exposure. High-quality 100% acrylic latex paints are ideal. They offer excellent flexibility to handle expansion and contraction of building materials with temperature changes. They also provide good resistance to fading and chalking from the sun. Look for paints with good moisture resistance to protect against humidity and occasional heavy rains. The pros can recommend specific brands and finishes.
