What affects the price

The final bill for painting your home depends on a few practical details. First, the total surface area and the number of stories play a big role, as taller houses require more safety equipment. We also look at the current condition of your siding; if there is significant wood rot, peeling paint, or mildew that needs scraping and repair, that adds labor time. The type of paint you choose—such as premium weather-resistant formulas—and the complexity of the trim work also shift the numbers. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Acrylic paint is the standard choice for decorating pumpkins because it dries quickly and adheres well to the waxy skin without rotting the gourd. If you are planning a seasonal display, this is a great way to avoid the mess of carving. For your home’s exterior, however, acrylics behave differently. We typically use high-grade exterior acrylic latex, which is formulated to expand and contract with your home's siding. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

For fabric projects, fabric paints are specifically formulated to adhere to textiles and remain flexible after drying. They can be applied with brushes, stamps, or stencils and often require heat setting with an iron to become permanent and washable. Acrylic paints can also be used on fabric, especially when mixed with a fabric medium to improve adhesion and flexibility. Always check the paint's label for application instructions.

Sherwin-Williams paint samples allow you to test colors on your home's exterior before committing to a large purchase.
