How often should you paint the exterior of your house?

<div><p>You should paint your home exterior every <b>five to 10 years</b>, 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.</p></div>

How do you calculate how much paint you need for a house exterior?

<div><p>Calculate the square footage of the area you want to paint. Divide the square footage by 350 (the average square footage a gallon of paint covers). Multiply the number of gallons you need by two, as you’ll likely be applying two coats of paint. For a more accurate estimate, subtract the square footage of the windows and doors from the initial square footage total. It’s a good idea to plan for an extra gallon of paint to make sure you have enough to finish the job.</p></div>

How do painters calculate exterior square footage?

<div><p>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.</p></div>

How much does it cost to paint the exterior of a house?

<div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost to paint the exterior of a house</a> ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about <b>$1.50 to $4 per square foot</b>, 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.</p></div>

How many coats of paint should go on the exterior of a house?

<div><p>You should apply at least two coats of paint when painting the exterior of your house. Two coats of paint provides better durability and more even coverage than just one coat.</p></div>

"I had a lot of carpentry repairs needed on the fascia, under the chimney cap, on the covered porch, around doors and windows; the house was a bit of a mess. But they got it all, and the covered porch trim looks amazing. I upgraded the paint to Sherwin Williams Emerald for the trim and requested two applications of S.W. Duration on the southern-facing siding. Now, everything looks great!"

"I'm a real customer, sharing a real review. I have to admit, I went into this project with skepticism about finding a reliable painter to do the job. After receiving a few estimates from various painters, I recognized a significant difference (in a positive way) in how That 1 Painter did business. Even before I agreed to use them, they were responsive, professional and very easy to talk with. Although they weren't the cheapest in price, they were certainly top notch, and - as the old saying goes - you get what you pay for. I am very happy with the results- they did an excellent job on the exterior of my home. From Michael, to Parker, to Jesus (the actual painter), everyone went out of their way to make this job a pleasant experience. I will definitely use them again."

"Terrible Quality and Non-Existent Warranty - AVOID! We spent over $10,000 painting our house and deck with this company, specifically choosing them for their promised warranty. What a mistake. Our deck started peeling just 8 months later. We were explicitly told it was guaranteed at the time of service, but when contacted, they claimed otherwise. Their "fix" was a quick spot paint that made it look worse. When we said something that said they would come paint the rest of it. Since then they've been stringing us along for three months now with promises to reschedule to paint the rest of the deck for uniformity. Now they don't even reply. On the house, the "UV resistant" paint (Sherwin Williams, supposedly 5-year fade resistant) on the sun-exposed side is faded in barely a year. The 3-year house paint warranty they tout is utterly non-existent in practice. It's clear they just subcontract the work, with zero accountability for quality or their own guarantees. We paid a premium for peace of mind and received nothing but headaches and broken promises. Save your money and find another painter – you'd get better results for a fraction of the price without the false warranty claims. Never again. The photos below show their patch work on the deck. It would only have taken a little longer to finish it. Another example is in my estimate. They quoted using Sherwin Williams Duration Flat which costs about $74 a gallon, but used just the SuperPaint around $47 per gallon. I know they did this because the painters left the remaining paint with me. Again caution when hiring this company!"
