"I hired Kevin to paint two interior bedrooms while I was away on an international vacation, and he did an amazing job! From the beginning he offered highly competitive prices and clear communication that made it easy to set a date and time to have the work completed. Kevin stayed in touch and was highly responsive throughout the whole project, which took a lot of weight off my chest. The work was done to a high quality standard. I will definitely be calling him again for my painting needs"

Esco J Painting is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"We had Juan repair and paint our exterior trim after a horribly botched job on our home. A prior painter destroyed windows and moulding in just one day. That painter was promptly fired. My faith in finding a quality painter after years of poor work was not high, but Juan was recommended by our window repairman, so we decided to hire him. It was the best decision. Juan and his crew came this past fall and beautifully repaired the prior botched job. I ended up having him do more on our house than originally intended due to his professionalism and fantastic work. In addition, he was able to help with an extremely difficult bay window that always seemed to leak in heavy rain. Juan and his crew are not only extremely professional, courteous and clean, but their work is impeccable. My faith has been restored in being able to hire a great painter. Not just good, but great. Always cheerful, prompt and attentive. Returns call and messages promptly. I highly recommend them."

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.
