"Carolyn î î ¸ î ¸ î ¸ î ¸ î ¸ just now NEW For serious carpentry -- cedar siding replacements & repairs, window ledges given new PVC replacments, deckboard replacements & repairs and new deck stain job plus new oil primer, and new Paint with Sherwin Williams Latitude, I would give Sam & his crew plus Vini & his painting crew outstanding 5 star rating. Sal Ferreira who oversaw the whole Project and his crew members did things the right way. Pre-Primed cedarsiding was used and other areas scraped to the bare wood were also oil primed before 2 coats of Latex Latitude was applied to the body of the house, as well as exterior window and door frames & doors using 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Emerald High Reflective Gloss White after they were also primed, sanded, and then painted the right way. First time ever this has been done the RIGHT WAY. PLUS, they protected all the windows from any spray painting, roller painting, and brush painting done too, the RIGHT WAY. Clearly, they paid attention to detail. And 12 window ledges were replaced with permanent White PVC to stop future water damage problems of rot to the wood sections framing the outside windows. And PVC also permanently replaced the garage door woodsiding uprights that were splitting from snow and water damage done over the past 18 years. The attention to detail these men have is amazing!!! They did a phenomenal job and still did outstanding work in an intense 4 day heatwave. Did keep them well supplied with fresh Frozen Spring Water bottles which they could apply to their necks to stay cool and drink it once it was drinkable. Out of 4 different painting crews over the years, RP PRO Painting & Contracting clearly are the best. When few areas needed touchup, Sal pointed it out to them and it got done right! They worked on the home and did the right repairs and overall painting as if it were their own home, garage, & deck being worked on. THANK YOU for doing such a phenomenal job!! Even our family dogs were impressed and love the new look along with those who have seen you work done here. MANY THANKS and God Bless you."

Exterior home or structure paint or stains FAQs

Exterior paint costs around $20 to $80 per gallon, while interior paint costs around $20 to $30 per gallon. Outside paints tend to be pricier because they need to withstand the elements, such as abrasion, moisture, and color corrosion from the sun. In addition, painting the outside of a home is more costly at around $3,100, while painting a home interior costs around $2,000.

Use our paint calculator to determine the number of gallons of paint needed for your project. The average gallon of exterior paint covers 350 square feet in a single coat. So, a 1,500-square-foot home with a paintable area of 1,100 square feet requires seven gallons of paint for a two-coat application.

When determining how much extra paint to purchase and whether to apply primer, clear planning is essential. Rounding up your paint requirements ensures complete coverage and prevents gaps during the application process. Extra paint acts as a safeguard against miscalculations, while proper primer application—decided by the paint type and exterior condition—secures adhesion and long-lasting protection.

When determining how often to repaint your home’s exterior, careful evaluation of both the current paint condition and building materials is crucial. Exterior paint is engineered to last five to 10 years. Aluminum surfaces require repainting every five years, wood requires a new coat every three to seven years, and painted brick needs refreshing every 15 to 20 years. Visible chipping or cracking signals the need for prompt repainting to sustain protection and curb appeal.

When deciding whether to roll or spray exterior house paint, the method chosen directly influences the overall finish and work efficiency. Rolling delivers precision and control for tight, detailed areas, whereas spraying achieves a smooth, even coat on large surfaces with high efficiency. The equipment used and labor intensity are key considerations; homeowners must choose the technique that best suits their project scale and quality requirements.

When evaluating the duration of an exterior painting project, a professional team completes an average-sized house within three to four days. Larger or more complex projects—such as three-story homes or residences with extensive architectural details—require five to six days due to increased surface area and additional setup. A contractor provides an exact timeline after reviewing all project specifics.
