However, you might also have concerns about how much the potential project will drain your bank account. Believe it or not, it\u2019s fairly straightforward to determine the cost of exterior painting by weighing a few key factors beforehand \u2013 and the price itself is often surprisingly affordable! Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Preparation Comes with Built-In Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot just dive into a painting project without first taking care of all the prep work. This includes things like cleaning and repairing any surfaces being painted, moving away or storing anything near the walls, and of course, gathering all the different necessary materials like brushes, rollers, tarps, painter\u2019s tape, scaffolding, ladders, and cans of paint. If your home is already in decent shape, this prep work shouldn\u2019t tack too much onto your total bill. However, if a lot of cleaning and preparation is needed, factor these initial costs into your total budget so you aren\u2019t hit with any surprises when the painters show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Square Footage Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of your home is arguably the largest factor that influences the cost of exterior painting \u2013 the larger the area that is being painted, the more paint you\u2019ll need! Not to mention, larger homes, as well as those with multiple stories, often take longer to complete and require additional supplies, meaning that the total cost will also rise. On average, you can expect to pay around $1 to $5 per square foot, but don\u2019t make any assumptions until you\u2019ve spoken with a team of professionals and crunched the numbers beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Consider Your Home\u2019s Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Houses don\u2019t just differ in size and shape \u2013 they also differ in what they\u2019re constructed from, and paint adheres quite differently to various building materials. In some cases, certain types or qualities of paint must be used to ensure consistent, lasting results. Needless to say, this greatly influences the price point. Aluminum siding normally costs around $1 to $3 to paint, while higher-quality materials like brick, concrete, and stone can cost up to $5 or more per square foot. Mid-range materials like vinyl, stucco, and engineered wood can fall anywhere within the $1 to $4 price range. You should also consider additional exterior surfaces, such as the fascia, trim, shutters, and even window sashes. All of these can be made of different materials from the rest of your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all else, keep in mind that every home and painting situation is inherently different, and only by realizing all of these relevant factors can you ensure that the job is well done and you\u2019re working within your budget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Platinum Painting &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team here at Platinum Painting of Fort Worth has proudly assisted homeowners across the DFW metroplex for the last 15 years, offering a wide variety of interior and exterior painting services.
