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.
