They handle all types of homes, whether you have a classic bungalow or a modern beach house. The quality of paint used and the complexity of the job, like detailed trim work or multiple stories, will influence the final cost.

Let us help you get a professional assessment.

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

Chalk paint is a decorative, water-based product known for its matte, velvety finish and ability to adhere to surfaces without extensive sanding. It is ideal for furniture restoration or achieving a rustic, vintage look on exterior accent pieces. Because it is highly porous, it requires a protective wax or sealant to hold up outside. If you want a specific textured aesthetic for outdoor decor, this is a great choice. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Fall is arguably the best time for exterior painting. The air is typically drier and the temperatures are moderate, which is perfect for paint to cure correctly. You avoid the spring rains and the summer heat waves. Since many people rush to finish projects before the holidays, our schedule fills up quickly. Give us a call now to lock in a slot while the weather is ideal.

Primer is a preparatory coating applied to surfaces before the final paint. In St. Petersburg, it helps paint adhere better to surfaces, especially if they're stained or unpainted.
