Exterior Painting Cost
The exterior money: exterior house painting cost, cost to paint the outside of a house, exterior cost per square foot, cost by siding type (wood/stucco/brick/vinyl), repaint vs new construction, and a two-story / height-access cost. This plans painting the existing siding, never replacing it; enter your own prices — a planning estimate, not a bid.
Planning estimate: this is a planning estimate from the numbers you enter — not a bid or a contract. Paint quantity and price depend on wall texture, porosity, color change, number of coats, prep and patching, trim and ceilings, height and access, and local labor.
