Last updated: September 24, 2026
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
Primer is a foundational coating applied before the finish coat to ensure the paint sticks properly and covers the surface evenly. You need it when you are painting over raw wood, porous materials, or drastically changing the color of your home’s exterior. It seals the surface and prevents moisture issues or tannin bleed. The condition of your siding often dictates how much priming is required, which impacts labor and material needs. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
