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 much do painters charge per hour?

<div><p>Professional painters charge <b>$20 to $50 per hour</b>, 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, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-remove-wallpaper.htm">removing wallpaper costs</a> an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.</p></div>

How do you estimate the cost of painting interior walls?

<div><p>To estimate the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-paint-room.htm">cost to paint interior walls</a>, 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.</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>

"Hired 5 Star Painting to apply solid stain to exterior wood trim on 2300 square foot vinyl sided two story house. Had house power washed one month prior to hire, so contractor specified application of two coats of stain on exterior wood trim with no power wash. Over a month later painters arrived and immediately power washed the exterior wood trim. Little over an hour later painters began applying stain to wet wood, even though minimum time lapse between power wash and paint is 24hours. In about five hours, the painters finished staining the wood trim with the contract specified two coats, though minimum stain drying time between coats is two hours. Next day inspection of stain application showed a light surface covering with little to no stain absorption into the wood. No doubt applying stain to wet wood is easier, faster, and uses less stain. Requested company apply one good coat of stain to dry wood, but company refused, stating work done satisfied contract. Company rated”POOR” and do not recommend. Caveat emptor"

My name is Jamie Estes very professional at what I do. I am a jack of all trades. I can weld do concrete work build decks and porches paint. Do lawn Care. Pretty much what you asked me to do I can do it.

"J E Construction powerwashed and sealed my deck, reanchored some decking and sealed my wood fence, I will say I thought they did a good job. But, on day 2 they forgot their sander for the railing and had to use mine, they also forgot the deck screws, I had some which he said he would replace.....,still waiting. Although not in the quote he said he would repair one of my 8x8 post....,still waiting. They did move everything off of the deck to do the work and I thank them for that, me and my girl friend put most of it back on, no big deal. Once again, but, at 69 and 60 years old we still have our grill and a large storage box in the back yard, I think I have someone coming today to help me with these....I paid him good money but now that he's been paid he does not seem to want to finish the job even though I have called him several times. ( just a heads up to everyone )"

"So far so good. Painters have arrived today and we did a walkthrough. They are painting all the trim, downspouts, soffits, everything that's white. Painters are also supposed to replace a couple of wood panels over the garage door and the trim, along with a corner piece of trim in the back of the house. I will update my review after they are finished. Painting being done in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. After only receiving one coat of paint when I was told my paint job would be two coats of paint, they tell me that they applied two coats of paint on the same day. I know as well as anybody else knows you have to wait for paint to dry at least 24 hours before applying the second coat. The owner told me it only needs to drive 4 hours before applying the second coat. I explained to him that there were many areas of the house they didn't start on until 5:00 in the evening and they were packing everything up at 8:00. I got charged for two coats of paint. Every other painter told me in their estimate you need to wait 24 hours to put the second coat on and it would take at least two days to do your house. Those other painters were charging more, now I see why custom paint jobs charges a cheaper price because they claim to put two coats on and only do one. I only gave you one star because I can't give zero. I feel I'm getting ripped off for one coat of paint and I am not happy."
