What exterior painters charge by home size, paint quality, and prep work — plus how neighborhoods save together.
Typical market rate when booking individually
1,000-1,500 sq ft: $1,800-4,000. 1,500-2,500 sq ft: $3,000-6,000. 2,500-4,000 sq ft: $5,000-10,000. These ranges include labor, paint, and basic prep.
Extensive scraping and sanding of old paint, lead paint abatement, multi-story work requiring scaffolding, premium paint brands, and multiple accent colors all increase costs significantly.
Paint crews working adjacent homes save on setup, scaffolding moves, and paint ordering (bulk paint discounts). NeighborPool painting groups of 4+ homes typically save 25-32% per home versus individual contracts.
