I'm seeking advice on what the average cost might be for an exterior painting job. I'm getting quotes next week and would really appreciate input from any painters or homeowners who have gone through something similar. Here are the details of the job:
- Painting the exterior of my 2,000 square-foot home from darker brick to light gray.
- Painting the interior of my garage, which is about 400 square feet.
- Painting a small deck (I don't have exact measurements, but it's not very big—just about a third of the width of the house).
- Painting the exterior of a small shed, around 60 square feet.
- Finally, including the front porch, which is also only about a third near the front door.
I'm curious about what kind of prices I should expect, so any insights would be great!

Honestly, the cost can really vary based on your location and the specific details of your project, like the prep work needed and the materials used. It’s best to get multiple quotes to see what you're looking at for your area. That'll give you a clearer picture for your situation!
I totally agree with that! I had some work done last year, and the prices for quality painting surprised me. Definitely prepare for a bit of sticker shock!
For a rough estimate, depending on your area, painting 2,000 square feet might be anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000. Just remember to ask about the specific conditions in your area too!
