The Truth About Houston Exterior Painting Prices in 2023
There are many factors to consider with exterior house painting in Houston, Sugar Land, and Missouri City but by knowing the price to paint your exterior house you can be empowered to know what to expect before you even gives us a call.
According to This Old House, the average cost to paint a house exterior by story is:
1 story is between $1,000 and $6,000
2 stories are between $3,500 and $8,000
3 stories are between $5,000 and $12,000
*These are national averages and do not reflect factors such as professional skill level, siding type, or other important cost-changing factors
As a professional painting company seeking to provide competitive prices we may not be as low as some of the estimates you receive but we seek not be as high as the highs you may receive so that your house is painted professionally at a fair and competitive rate. We want your house to be perfect when its done at a price that you feel is fair and reasonable.
Here are some common types of siding and an estimate of what you can expect to pay to have them painted (according to This Old House):
Wood: $1 to $3 per square foot
Vinyl: $1 to $2.50 per square foot
Metal: $1 to $4 per square foot
Brick: $2.50 to $5 per square foot
*These are national averages and do not reflect factors such as professional skill level, siding type, or other important cost-changing factors
Different types of siding have different requirements and needs that can cause the price to fluctuate. A 4000 square foot vinyl house will cost more than a 4000 square foot brick and hardie board house where we are only painting the hardie board. Painting vinyl has a different requirement and painting process than hardie board and will cost more because we are painting more surface area even though the houses are the same size.
