"Freddie and his team did a fantastic job painting our main level and basement areas. We are going through a major remodeling job. His team ensured all areas were sanded smooth and all the paint was excellent. They kept the work areas clean and were very professional. Special thank you to his employee Brian who worked on our home throughout the process. We highly recommend Nunez painting."

"Sebastian from Custom Paint came out and gave me a great consult, walked around the house and showed me what services would be done on the house and the preparation on what would be done on the house. He was straight forward about the pricing and the turnaround time for the project. I really loved that he makes sure the job is completely done and done right! I recommend Custom Paint Jobs for your next paint job. I love the outcome of my house! Thank You Custom Paint Jobs"

"The project manager and paint crew did a great job in our project. We had our home and detached shop/garage painted and our deck stained and it took them three days to complete the job. Once our new roof is installed we will have this company come and touch up needed areas."

"This company did exterior paint/stain in white on our small deck & very long privacy fence (28 8 ft. sections); both sides. They did power wash it first, then applied 2 coats of exterior paint. We also hired them to paint/stain our rental's decks in back & front; both in black. This very efficient team did an outstanding job. Looks great!!!"

"I recently had Iron Buck Paint the outside trim of my home and a bedroom. They do a great job of not only painting but cleaning up and having the area ready to use. They are great about getting you schedule and getting the job done in a timely manor. I would recommend them to my neighbors and friends."

"We would definitely use Alex again. He rebuilt the soffits which were damaged from a water leak. The ceiling had to be repaired and painted too. The workmanship was excellent. He then painted our old cupboard doors and now they look brand new. He is very professional and his work is impeccable."

Painting FAQs

You should paint your home exterior every five to 10 years, on average. Climate and surroundings can affect how well paint holds up. Wood siding will likely need a fresh coat of paint every three to seven years. Paint on brick tends to last about eight to 17 years, on average.

Professional painters charge $20 to $50 per hour, on average. Hourly rate cost factors include the complexity of the paint job, the type of paint, the height of the walls and ceiling, and the type of prep and repairs needed. For example, removing wallpaper costs an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.

To estimate the cost to paint interior walls, multiply the square footage by the average price range to paint interior walls, which is $2 to $6 per square foot. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room with 8-foot tall walls is 384 square feet, meaning that the cost to paint the room will range from $768 to $2,304. Painting the ceiling and any trim will add to the overall cost, as will any repairs.

To calculate the square footage of a home exterior, painters multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall to be painted. Then they add the total square footage for all of the walls to be painted. To calculate the price, they multiply the total square footage by their cost per square foot to prep and paint. Additional costs may factor in such as repairs, additional trim, and walls higher than the first story.

The cost to paint the exterior of a house ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.
