Is this what you’re seeing?

• Paint that’s fading, chalking, or peeling on siding or trim
• Bare wood showing through on trim, fascia, or soffits
• Wanting a color update before selling or after a renovation

• New siding or trim that needs its first coat
• A home that hasn’t been painted in eight years or more

Honest pricing

Exterior painting cost depends on square footage, siding material and condition, how much prep and repair the surface needs, and the number of coats required for full, even coverage. A home in good condition needing standard prep and two coats is the most predictable job. Extensive scraping, wood repair, or covering a dramatic color change adds scope. The Estimate Builder gives you a preliminary online estimate based on your home’s size and current condition as you describe it. Final scope and price subject to verification once our team walks the exterior and assesses prep needs in person.

Why Central Ohio exteriors need regular repainting

Central Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles, humid summers, and UV exposure all wear on exterior paint faster than milder, drier climates. Older homes in German Village, Bexley, and Clintonville often have original wood siding and trim that needs careful prep and, in some cases, lead-safe practices if the home predates 1978. Newer vinyl and fiber cement siding common in Dublin, New Albany, and Powell holds paint longer but still benefits from a fresh coat on trim and accent areas every several years. Our team assesses your specific siding material and sun exposure before recommending a repaint schedule.
