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.

What's the difference between primer and regular exterior paint?
Primer acts as a base coat that prepares the surface for the topcoat of exterior paint. It helps with adhesion, covers stains, and can even block odors. In New Haven, where homes can have varied surfaces, primer is crucial for a long-lasting, even finish. It ensures the main paint color looks its best and adheres properly, especially on older or previously unpainted surfaces. Using primer is a key step for durability.
Can I paint over existing exterior paint colors in New Haven?
Yes, you can typically paint over existing exterior paint colors in New Haven, but the success depends on the condition of the current paint. If the old paint is peeling, chipping, or heavily chalked, it needs to be properly scraped, sanded, and cleaned before applying a new coat. Sometimes, a primer is also recommended to ensure good adhesion and coverage, especially if you're making a drastic color change. The pros will assess this for you.
