Exterior painting is one of the best ways to protect your home and boost its curb appeal, but prices can vary a lot from house to house. Here is what really goes into the cost.
Size and Height of the House
A one story ranch takes far less time and equipment than a large two story home with tall gables. Height means more ladder work and more setup, and that is often the biggest factor in the price.
How Much Prep and Repair Is Needed
Peeling paint, mildew, gaps and rotted wood all have to be fixed before painting. A house that was painted well a few years ago costs less than one where the paint is failing and the trim is soft.
What Is Being Painted
Siding, trim, soffits, shutters, doors, porch floors and garage doors each add time. Painting just the trim on a brick home costs much less than painting every surface on a sided house.
Paint Quality
Better exterior paint costs more per gallon but lasts longer in Georgia sun and humidity. Over the life of the job, a quality product is usually the cheaper choice.
