How much would it cost to have the exterior of my house painted?

Question

I WANT TO PAINT THE EXTERIOR OF MY HOUSE. IT IS A 1600 SQUARE FEET RANCH HOME. BOTTOM PORTION UNDER WINDOWS IS BRICK. I WANT A ROUGH IDEA BEFORE I WASTE MY TIME ON ESTIMATES IF IT IS WAY OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE. THANKS

Answer 1

Get some free estimates, and if it is more than you can afford,.realize that however difficult you think it will be to paint it yourself, it will probably be triple that. Painting a house is much more more difficult than most people think.

Answer 2

Nobody can answer this without seeing the house.  The condition of the existing paint,  how much trim is painted a different color and the terrain around the house all need to be taken into consideration before a price can be quoted.  Call a couple painting contractors for quotes.  It won't cost you anything.

Answer 3

I just paid $2300. There were 6 or 7 latin guys working on it. Supposedly two coats (I can't prove it though, as I was at work) on a house thats the same size.

The house looks fine. I probably paid a little too much, but I can live with it.

Answer 4

about $2000 using 2 coates with no scrapping back but get undercoat that covers ruts

Answer 5

$10000
