Does painting the house exterior add value?
Painting a home's exterior is a cost-effective way to increase value and boost home appeal. Exterior painting has a 55% return on investment (ROI), while interior painting has a 107% return on investment on average.
How often should you paint your house exterior?
A house exterior needs painting every five to ten years on average, depending on the location, climate, sun exposure, material, and condition. Wood siding needs repainting every 3 to 7 years, while fiber cement siding needs repainting every 10 to 15 years.
Signs a house exterior needs painting:
- Paint is peeling, flaking, bubbling, cracking, faded, or chalky
- There are exposed patches of wall
- Stucco needs patching, or wood boards need replacing
- The last paint job was longer than 10 years ago
- You are selling the home and want to boost curb appeal
How long does it take to paint a house?
An average-size house takes three to four days to paint with a professional team of three painters. A large three-story or 5+ bedroom house takes four to six days to paint the exterior on average. This time estimate includes prepping the house, painting, and cleaning up.
When is the best time to paint a house exterior?
The best time to paint a house exterior is in spring, early summer, or fall when temperatures are 50°F to 85°F and moisture is low. Consult with a local painter in your area to select the optimal time to start your project.
Why paint a house exterior?
The top reasons to paint the exterior of a house are:
- Increase home value and curb appeal
- Protect from the elements and weather damage
- Increase the lifespan of siding
- Change the look or ambiance
- Prevent exterior wood from rotting or insects
- Repair damage
Do you tip exterior painting companies?
Painting companies do not expect a tip. However, if they go above and beyond or spend more time than expected, a cold drink, hot lunch, or $10 to $20 tip is appreciated. Giving the painter a positive review on HomeGuide, Yelp, or Google is better than a tip.
