Premium Exterior Painting Services

The cost to paint the exterior of a home in the Tampa Bay area varies based on factors such as the home's size, number of stories, and surface condition. Here's an overview of estimated costs for three common home types:

1. Mediterranean Architecture (Typically 2,200–2,450 sq ft):

    Estimated Cost: $5,500 to $12,250

        Note: Larger homes with complex architectural details may incur higher costs.

2. Coastal Contemporary (Typically 2,200–2,450 sq ft):

    Estimated Cost: $5,500 to $12,250

        Note: Sleek designs with minimal detailing may result in lower overall costs.

3. Bungalow (Typically 1,500–1,700 sq ft):

    Estimated Cost: $3,750 to $8,500

        Note: Compact designs may lead to lower overall costs.

Additional Considerations:

    Number of Stories: Two-story homes may have higher costs due to increased labor and equipment needs.

    Surface Preparation: Homes requiring extensive prep work, such as pressure washing or repairs, can expect higher costs.

    Paint Quality: Choosing premium paints can increase material costs but offer better durability.

The duration of an exterior painting project depends on your home’s size and condition. On average, a project can take three to ten days. During our initial consultation and pre-job walkthrough, we provide a detailed timeline and keep you informed every step of the way.

Factors that may affect the timeline:

    Weather: Rain, humidity, or extreme temperatures can delay the process.

    Surface Preparation: Homes requiring extensive prep work (pressure washing, sanding, or patching) can add days to the timeline.

    Detailing: Homes with detailed trim, multiple colors, or custom finishes may take longer.

Before painting the exterior of your home, a few essential preparation steps ensure the paint adheres properly and lasts longer:

    Surface Cleaning – We start by washing the exterior using a pressure washer to remove dirt, mildew, old paint, and debris. This step ensures the surface is clean and ready for painting.

    Repairs & Patching – We inspect the exterior for any damaged wood, cracks, holes, or rotting areas. These issues are repaired by filling gaps and replacing damaged boards to create a smooth, uniform surface.

    Sanding & Scraping – We scrape off any loose or peeling paint, then lightly sand the surface to create a smooth texture for the new paint to adhere to.

    Caulking & Sealing – We seal any gaps between trim, windows, and doors with high-quality caulk to prevent moisture from entering. This step is crucial for improving insulation and preventing drafts.

    Priming – If the surface has been patched or if you're switching from a dark color to a lighter one (or vice versa), a primer coat will be applied to ensure the paint covers evenly and adheres well.

    Protecting Surrounding Areas – We cover windows, doors, landscaping, and other areas you don’t want painted with drop cloths and masking tape.

    Weather Check – We make sure that the weather is dry and mild (preferably above 50°F) to ensure optimal conditions for painting and drying.

These steps are crucial to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting finish.
