Pumpkin painting — Wilmington, NC
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.
