How much does exterior house painting cost in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati?

Exterior painting cost depends on paintable surface area, prep needs (especially scraping/sanding/priming), trim detail, height/access, and the number of colors. After a walkthrough, we provide a clear scope and estimate so you know what’s included and why.

How long does exterior house painting take?

Timeline depends on weather windows, how much prep is required, dry time between coats, and detail work like trim and doors. We outline a realistic schedule during your estimate so the job isn’t rushed between rain or humidity.

Can you fix peeling paint before repainting the exterior?

Yes. We don’t paint over failing coatings. We identify why it’s peeling (poor adhesion, moisture, sun exposure, or old paint layers), then plan scraping, sanding, and priming so the new system bonds correctly.

Do painters power wash before exterior painting?

Often, yes—cleaning removes dirt, mildew, and chalking so paint can adhere properly. We choose the right cleaning method based on the surface type and condition.

How often should you repaint the exterior of a house?

It varies by surface type, sun exposure, moisture, and the quality of the previous prep and paint system. Homes with heavy sun exposure or older coatings may need repainting sooner than shaded or well-protected exteriors.

What paint is best for exterior siding?

The best exterior paint depends on the siding material (wood, fiber cement, aluminum, etc.) and exposure conditions. We recommend a coating system—including primer if needed—based on durability, adhesion, and a consistent finish.

Can you paint exterior trim, doors, and shutters?

Yes. These details make a major difference in curb appeal. We plan prep and product selection for durability on high-touch surfaces like doors, trim, and shutters.

Is it better to spray or roll exterior paint?

It depends on the surface and finish goal. Some exteriors benefit from spray for speed and coverage, but many areas still require brush/roll for control, back-rolling, and detail work. We recommend the method that fits your home and produces the best finish.

Do you repair exterior wood trim before painting?

Yes, when needed. If trim is soft, separating, or failing, it should be repaired or replaced so the paint system can protect the surface instead of covering a problem that will return.

Do you offer free estimates and a warranty for exterior painting?

Yes. We offer free estimates and a final walkthrough, and we provide a 2-year touch-up warranty after completion, with clear expectations on what’s included.

How We Match the Right Add-On to Your Home and Goals

Not every home needs every service. We focus on what will actually move the needle—especially on adhesion, smoothness, and long-term performance.

What we look at during the estimate

Surface condition (peeling paint, stains, failing caulk, rough texture)
High-visibility areas where flaws show after painting
Moisture risk zones outside (trim, shaded walls, decks, fences)
Timeline and sequencing (what must happen before paint)
Durability needs (high-touch trim, cabinets, doors, railings)

If an add-on won’t meaningfully improve the result, we’ll tell you—so you don’t pay for extras you don’t need.

Cost Factors for Additional Services and What Impacts Your Estimate

Add-on pricing depends on scope, prep, access, and finish expectations. Some items are quick upgrades; others involve multi-step prep and dry time.

Common cost drivers

Total surface area and number of rooms/surfaces
Condition and prep requirements (adhesive removal, sanding, repairs)
Height and access complexity (stairs, tall ceilings, multi-story exteriors)
Containment and protection needs (occupied homes, finished floors, landscaping)
Materials and coating system requirements (primers, topcoats, stain blockers)
Sequencing with painting and curing timelines
