Everything depends on location, size of house, climate and siding. For cedar shake, vs. stucco or asbestos tiles there will be a much different price. I have one house that after I purchased, the insurance wanted it painted right away. Mostly distressed cedar shake on 3 levels with dormers, for scraping, priming with oil based paint and two top coats the total was $11,500 and it was the middle estimate. This is for a 3 color paint job.

For another house with asbestos siding that was never painted, with metal trim already painted, I had it bleached, then sealed with a cement sealer (clear) and two top coats of blue, it was grey. This cost only $1,900 with paint and labor - but the prep was almost none.

The last house, like the first was distressed cedar shake and I painted it myself, stripping it down to bare wood, then oil base primer with Penetrol to make it take longer to dry so it seeps into the distressed wood. On top, 2 coats of latex with a BenMoore lifetime guarantee (whatever that means). This took about 600 hours total and without labor, the materials including gloves, masks and scrapers and tarps were $4,400.

Porches are also a big factor.

How much to paint exterior of 2500 sq ft hm?

Painting an exterior and the cost to do the same varies from project to project. An average 2500 sq ft exterior would cost approximately $3000 in labor and approximately 12 gallons of paint to complete 2 coats. If repair work is required this will increase the cost. If the home is two or more stories it will surely increase the cost. Large amounts of trim can also increase the cost. Difficult landscaping obstacles will also result in an increase in price.


What is the average cost per square foot to paint the exterior of a two story house in northern Michigan?

Just the paint: If you own a 3,500 square-foot home, it'll take 20 or more gallons of paint to get the job done. That's assuming that a gallon of paint will typically cover about 350 square feet, and that a quality paint job includes two coats of paint. Taking that into consideration, good paint costs between $15 and $30 per gallon, and very high-end paints costs about $35-$75 per gallon. So, depending on the quality of paint you choose, it can cost as little as $300 or as much as $1,500 just for the paint on this size of home.Painting labor: This is the part of a house-painting job that carries the most weight on the price tag. Professional painters will typically charge $1,500-$3,000 to paint an average single-story home. However, if your home is up to 3,500 square feet with multiple levels, you can expect to pay $5,500 or more for exterior painting labor. Keep in mind that labor often includes all of the prep work like power washing, caulking, sanding, and more, plus the materials to do the prep work.Do-it-yourself: Painting your own home can be a challenging and messy, but fun, task, and many homeowners enjoy the money they save doing it on their own. DIYNetwork.com describes exterior painting as being moderately difficult, and estimates the DIY cost of painting this home to be $500 to $1,000.Low-End Estimate for Exterior House PaintingJust paint: About $300 for an average 3,500 square-foot home.Paint and labor: About $1,800 to paint a 3,500 square-foot home.High-End Estimate for Exterior House PaintingJust paint: About $1,500 for an average 3,500 square-foot home.Paint and labor: About $7,000 to paint a 3,500 square-foot home.

How much does exterior house painting cost?

I have been painting for a living for about 15 years now and believe it or not, that is a question that I am asked fairly often. Answer: It all depends, is it interior or exterior, will it be the first time painted or is this a repainting. How much prep work is involved? All these factors come into play when getting or giving a painting bid. But a rough price would be about $1.20 for interior paint and .75 for exterior. This is when there is little prep, one coat and no primer. When you start adding these other factors the price goes up. Hope this helps
