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
Oil-based paints are known for their durability and smooth finish, as they dry slowly and level out well. Historically, these were common for exterior trim because they create a hard, moisture-resistant shell. Today, they are used selectively where high traffic or extreme durability is required. If your home has older oil-based layers, we ensure the new coat is compatible to prevent adhesion issues. 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.

Oil-based paints can be harder to clean up and may become brittle over time. Acrylics offer a longer-lasting, easier-to-maintain finish.
