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.
About this service
Gouache is an opaque, water-based paint known for its matte finish and high pigment concentration. It is primarily used by artists for illustrations and fine art on paper. Because it is water-soluble, it is not weather-resistant and will wash away if applied to an exterior wall. You would use gouache for indoor design work or planning out a color scheme. For your home, we use professional exterior coatings designed to cure into a hard, protective shell against the sun.
