Signs you need a house painter
Paint is peeling or cracking
Peeling exterior paint lets moisture reach the wood underneath. That can lead to rot if it is left too long.
Fading and chalky siding
If siding leaves a powder on your hand or looks washed out, the paint is breaking down.
Scuffed, stained walls
Marks that will not wipe off and patched spots that do not match are signs a room is due.
Getting ready to sell
Fresh, neutral paint is one of the simplest ways to help a home show well.
Bare or rotting wood on trim
Exposed wood on trim, sills or fascia should be repaired and painted before it gets worse.
How much does painting cost?
Painting the exterior of a typical single-family home often costs about $3,000 to $7,500. Interior painting is often quoted at roughly $2 to $6 per square foot of floor space. Your price depends on your home's size, region, the condition of the surfaces and the paint you choose.
Exterior house painting
$3,000 – $7,500
Typical US range. Your price depends on your home, your area and the materials you choose. Your local pro gives you an exact quote.
What affects the price
- Size of the area
- More wall, siding and trim means more labor and paint. Square footage is the starting point for most quotes.
- Prep work
- Scraping, sanding, caulking, patching and priming take time. Surfaces in poor shape cost more to prep.
- Number of stories
- Two- and three-story exteriors need ladders, lifts or scaffolding, which adds cost.
- Paint quality and colors
- Premium paints cost more but often last longer. Big color changes may need extra coats.
- Trim, doors and detail
- Lots of trim, shutters, railings or detailed woodwork takes careful hand work.
- Lead paint precautions
- Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint. Lead-safe work practices add time and cost.
- Your region
- Labor rates vary a lot from one area to another.
How to choose a house painter
Check licensing and insurance
License rules for painters vary by state. Ask for proof of any required license and current liability insurance.
Ask about lead-safe certification
If your home was built before 1978, federal EPA rules require firms that disturb painted surfaces to be Lead-Safe Certified.
Get the scope in writing
The quote should list the surfaces, prep steps, number of coats, paint brand and product line, and cleanup.
Compare more than price
A low bid may skip prep or use fewer coats. Ask each painter how they prep and what paint they plan to use.
Ask about a warranty
Ask what the workmanship warranty covers, such as peeling or blistering, and for how long.
Watch for red flags
Be careful with cash-only deals, very large upfront deposits or a painter who will not put the details in writing.
Painting FAQs
What is the average cost to paint a 2,000 square foot house?
Painting the exterior of a 2,000 square foot home often falls in the range of about $3,000 to $7,500. Painting the interior is often quoted at roughly $2 to $6 per square foot of floor space, so about $4,000 to $12,000 for most of the house. Prep work, number of stories, paint quality and local labor rates all change the price. A local painter can give you an exact written quote.
How much do painters charge per hour?
Many painters charge somewhere around $25 to $75 per hour per painter, depending on the region and the type of work. Most painting contractors quote a fixed price for the whole job instead, which includes labor, paint and supplies. A fixed quote is usually easier to compare. Ask each painter to list the prep, coats and products so you can compare fairly.
What time of year is best to paint a house?
Late spring through early fall is usually best for exterior painting, when it is dry and mild. Many paints need temperatures above a minimum, often around 50 degrees, and no rain while they cure. Check the paint label for its limits. Interior painting can be done any time of year, though good ventilation helps paint dry and clears out fumes.
How long does it take to paint a house?
An average house exterior often takes a crew about three to seven days, depending on size, prep and weather. Interior rooms usually take a day or two each, while a full interior can take a week or more. Heavy prep, repairs, many colors and drying time between coats all add days. Ask your painter for a schedule before work starts.
How many coats of paint does a house need?
Most jobs need two coats of paint for even color and good durability. Bare wood, patched areas and stained surfaces usually need primer first. Going from a dark color to a light one, or the reverse, may need an extra coat. Ask your painter to list the number of coats and whether primer is included in the written quote.
Do I need to worry about lead paint?
If your home was built before 1978, it may have lead-based paint. Sanding or scraping it can release harmful dust. Federal EPA rules require painting companies that disturb painted surfaces in these homes to be Lead-Safe Certified and follow safe work practices. Ask any painter you hire for their certification if your home is older.
