Exterior Painting Cost
Exterior pricing tracks square footage of siding/stucco, plus how much scraping, caulking, and priming the surface needs before a coat of paint will actually last.
| Low | High | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| $3 | $7 | per sq ft |
What moves the price
- Surface type, stucco, wood siding, and vinyl all take different prep
- How much peeling, chalking, or mildew needs to be removed first
- Number of stories (ladder and lift access adds labor)
- Trim, shutters, and doors priced separately from the main field
- Coating grade, a UV- and mildew-resistant coating costs more but holds up longer in humid climates
