What affects the price
The final bill for painting your home depends on a few moving parts. First, consider the total surface area and the number of stories. Larger homes or those with tricky architectural features naturally require more labor and specialized equipment. The condition of your siding is another big factor; if there is significant wood rot, peeling paint, or heavy mildew, those areas need extra prep work before a brush ever touches the wall. The choice of paint grade also shifts the total. We get you exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

What's the difference between pottery painting and house painting?
Pottery painting involves decorating ceramic items with specialized glazes and paints, typically done in a studio setting. House painting, on the other hand, is the application of durable coatings to the exterior surfaces of residential buildings. While both involve applying color, house painting requires specialized skills, equipment, and knowledge of building materials to ensure a long-lasting and weather-resistant finish. The scale and purpose are entirely different.
Is gouache paint suitable for exterior house painting?
Gouache paint is generally not suitable for exterior house painting. It's a water-soluble medium known for its matte finish and opacity, often used for illustrations and fine art. Exterior paints need to withstand harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations, which gouache is not designed to do. It can fade, crack, and wash away easily when exposed to the elements. Specialized exterior-grade paints are essential for lasting protection.
