Exterior house painting services in your area.
Full Exterior Painting

Average Cost: ~$5 per sq ft (floor area) | Starts at $1,400 | Full Home: $11,000-$33,000+

Our exterior service covers siding, trim, fascia, doors, and shutters. Pricing is based on home size, substrate condition, access, and project scope.

  • Siding type (vinyl, wood, brick, stucco, Hardie)

  • Accessibility and home height (single- vs. multi-story)

  • Surface condition and prep work (scraping, caulking, repairs)

  • Number of colors, coats, and overall scope

From one room to your entire home, we’ll tailor the project to your needs. Our interior painting service includes walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and door frames.

Most homeowners don’t know their square footage, so here’s what a room actually costs, based on the size of the room you’re standing in.

  • Small room (10-by-11 or 10-by-12) (bedroom, home office, nursery): $875-$1,100
  • Medium room (12-by-14 or 12-by-16) (guest room, dining room, den): $1,350-$1,750
  • Large room (14-by-16 or 14-by-18) (primary bedroom, living room, bonus room): $1,800-$2,250

Most partial-home repaints fall between $3,000 and $10,000. Full-home pricing depends on your home’s size, ceiling height, surface condition, and the level of finish you’re looking for.

Key Factors Affecting Cost

  • Number of rooms and ceiling height

  • Surface condition (drywall repairs, patching)

  • Paint type, sheen, and product selection

  • Scope (walls only vs. walls, ceilings, trim, and doors)

WHY WE PUBLISH OUR PRICING

Hiding prices doesn’t protect margins.

It destroys trust.

Most homeowners Google pricing before calling anyone

Homeowners research contractor pricing online before making a single call. If you can’t find a range on our site, you’ll find one on a competitor’s. We’d rather be the most honest voice in the room.

Your surface condition is the #1 pricing variable

A “fair” condition surface can add 15-25% to your base cost in prep work alone. We explain this upfront because the contractor who explains it during the estimate, rather than on invoice day, is the one you’ll tell your neighbors about.

The estimate is free. The quote is real.

Our on-site estimates take 60–90 minutes. You’ll receive a written, itemized quote; no fuzzy line items, no “misc. fees.”

The appointment includes a full walkthrough, prep and product discussion, identifying any repairs needed, and reviewing the proposal with you on-site.

If the price changes after you’ve approved the scope, that’s on us to explain.

What this calculator can’t account for

Wood rot, mold or mildew under the surface, lead paint on older homes, and site access constraints (scaffolding, lift rental, tenant scheduling on commercial jobs) all affect the final number. That’s why the calculator gives you a range and the walkthrough gives you the exact price.

Why Do Painting Costs Vary?

No two houses paint the same way, so no two quotes look the same. The numbers in this calculator are a strong starting point. Most final quotes land within 10 to 25% of what you see here. Here are the key things we look at before giving you a final price.

Walls with cracks, water stains, or peeling paint need patching, priming, or skim coating before painting can start. The more repair work a surface needs, the higher the prep cost. Clean, smooth surfaces are faster and less expensive to paint.

Vinyl siding, wood, brick, stucco, and drywall all absorb and hold paint differently. Porous or rough materials require more product and more coats, which increases both material and labor costs.

Flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss finishes each come at different price points. Premium paints with better durability, UV protection, or mold resistance cost more per gallon but often cut down the number of coats needed.

Multi-story homes, steep rooflines, vaulted ceilings, and sloped lots take more time and equipment to paint safely. Each additional story typically adds 20 to 30% to exterior labor costs.

Painting a vacant home is faster. When furniture needs to be moved, covered, and protected, it adds time to the job. We handle it either way, but vacancy affects the total hours on site.

We use warranty-grade professional products as our standard. Customers can also choose to upgrade to the top of what we consider reasonable for their project.

Our standard and premium lines, including Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, are priced at the same effective labor rate, so cost scales with project scope rather than a product markup. Manufacturer product defects are handled separately by the paint manufacturer.

Common Questions About Painting Costs in Virginia

A standard room runs $875 to $2,250. Small rooms (10×11 or 10×12) are $875-$1,100, medium rooms (12×14 or 12×16) are $1,350-$1,750, and large rooms (14×16 or 14×18) are $1,800-$2,250.

Walls-only work sits at the low end of each range; walls plus ceiling, trim, and doors sit at the top. Smaller touch-up scopes start around $300. Your exact number depends on room size, surface condition, scope, and the product you choose, which is what the free walkthrough determines.

Exterior projects start around $1,400 for small jobs (decks, trim, or single areas). For full home exteriors, here are our educated estimates based on production rates and signed-contract data (full wash + 2 coats):

  • 2,000-3,000 sq ft: $11,000-$15,000
  • 3,000-4,000 sq ft: $16,000-$21,000
  • 4,000-5,000 sq ft: $21,000-$27,000
  • 5,000+ sq ft: $28,000-$33,000+

Smaller or partial jobs (decks, trim-only, single areas) run about $500-$3,000. Pricing varies with weather, two-story access, substrate type, and paint condition.

No. The calculator gives you a realistic range. Your actual price comes after a free 60-90 minute in-home walkthrough where we assess scope, surface condition, prep needs, and product, and hand you a written, itemized proposal before we leave.

Project size, number of rooms or areas, surface condition, complexity, preparation requirements (patching, sanding, priming, repairs), product selection, and overall scope of work. Prep is often the biggest driver, as surfaces that need significant work take more time and materials before a brush ever touches them.

Yes. Our crews handle furniture moving and floor protection as part of the job. For oversized or fragile items, we ask that you clear those before we arrive. Everything else, we take care of.

A single room typically takes about one day. A few rooms generally run 2-4 days. For whole-home projects, here are our general ranges based on a 3-painter crew (low end = typical scope; high end = full repaint of every surface):

Interior:

  • 2,000-3,000 sq ft: 4 days-2 weeks
  • 3,000-4,000 sq ft: 6 days to 2.5 weeks
  • 4,000-5,000 sq ft: 8 days-3 weeks
  • 5,000+ sq ft: 2-4+ weeks

Exterior:

  • 2,000-3,000 sq ft: 4-6 days
  • 3,000-4,000 sq ft: 6-8 days
  • 4,000-5,000 sq ft: 8-10 days
  • 5,000+ sq ft: 11-14 days

Exterior timelines vary with weather and site access. The estimate appointment itself is 60-90 minutes.
