Oil painting — Albany, NY
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
The final price for painting your home depends on a few practical factors. First, the total surface area and the number of stories play a big role. If your exterior needs heavy prep work—like scraping loose paint, repairing wood rot, or pressure washing stubborn mildew—that adds time and labor. The type of materials matters, too; painting stucco is a different process than siding or brick. We also look at the quality of the paint you select and how many coats are needed to get the finish you want. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
