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

Gouache is an opaque, water-based paint that dries to a matte, velvety finish. It is highly valued by illustrators for its rich color and easy blending, but it remains water-soluble even after it dries. This makes it unsuitable for outdoor use where it would wash away in the rain. For exterior projects, we use advanced synthetic resins that lock onto the surface and resist moisture. If you need a professional, long-lasting finish, we have the right tools.
