Exterior Painting Cost

Exterior painting cost Atlanta homeowners plan around generally falls between $3,000 and $15,000 to repaint an entire residence, which works out to roughly $1.50 to $4.25 per square foot covering body and trim together. Whether your project sits at the low, middle, or high end comes down to how big your home is, how many stories it has, what the siding is made of, the shape those surfaces are in, and how much detail your trim carries. Before you weigh any two quotes against each other, make sure the scope includes washing, caulking, scraping, and a primer step. Use these as planning ranges only — your exact price comes from a free in-home written quote, and the total we put in writing is precisely what you'll owe.

Your home's footprint is the starting point. A smaller home under 1,500 square feet — think a single-story ranch — often lands between $3,000 and $5,500. A mid-size home of 1,500 to 2,500 square feet typically runs $5,500 to $9,000. Larger homes from 2,500 to 4,000 square feet, with more trim and varied siding, range from $9,000 to $15,000. If your siding is sound and only the trim, fascia, and shutters need refreshing, that focused work usually falls in the $1,500 to $4,000 band.

A few factors decide where you land. Siding material matters: wood, HardiePlank, vinyl, brick, and stucco each ask for their own prep and products, and masonry surfaces tend to cost more per square foot. The state of those surfaces matters even more — heavy scraping, caulking, and repairing rotted wood can tack on a few thousand dollars. Taller homes add roughly half again per story for safe access. And the more intricate your trim, shutters, and window surrounds, the more detail work your project carries.
