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.

About this service

Chalk paint is a decorative matte finish that provides a vintage or distressed look to furniture and wood surfaces. It is ideal if you are looking to renovate old cabinets or decor pieces without extensive sanding or priming. Because it is highly porous, it usually requires a protective wax or sealant afterward. The cost varies based on the size of the project and the level of distressing desired. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

What are the key considerations for painting wrought-iron balconies in this city?

Painting wrought-iron balconies in New Orleans requires specialized attention due to their susceptibility to rust and the intricate nature of their design. Proper preparation involves thorough cleaning, rust removal using wire brushing or sandblasting, and the application of a high-quality rust-inhibiting primer. Followed by multiple coats of a durable exterior enamel, this process ensures longevity and aesthetic appeal. Our painters are skilled in treating and painting these iconic architectural features to protect them from the elements.

Can you explain the difference between oil-based and latex paint for exteriors?

Oil-based paints traditionally offered superior adhesion and a harder finish, making them durable for exterior applications. However, latex (water-based) paints have significantly advanced, now providing excellent flexibility, UV resistance, and quicker drying times, which are crucial for combating New Orleans' humidity. Latex paints are also more environmentally friendly and easier to clean up. We assess your home's specific needs to recommend the most suitable paint type for optimal performance and longevity.
