Painting Contractors in Towson, MD

Exterior painting for a typical Towson colonial runs $4,500 to $9,500. The price depends on your home's size, the number of stories, surface material, and how much prep work is needed. A 2,500 sq ft colonial with wood siding in Stoneleigh averages around $6,000. Larger estate homes near Ruxton or Stevenson with extensive trim, shutters, and dormers run $8,000 to $12,000. We include power washing, scraping, caulking, priming, and two coats.

We handle every type of painting project in Towson — interior repaints, full exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, pressure washing, drywall repair, and commercial painting. Our most popular Towson services are whole-house interior repaints for homeowners updating their 1950s-1970s colonials, and exterior painting for homes with aging cedar shake or wood siding. We also do a lot of kitchen cabinet painting for Towson homeowners who want a fresh kitchen without the $40,000 renovation.

A full interior repaint for a 4-bedroom Towson colonial takes 4 to 6 days. Exterior painting runs 4 to 7 days depending on the home's size and how much prep is needed. Larger homes in Ruxton or Stevenson with multiple dormers and complex trim can take 7 to 10 days for exterior work. We give you a specific timeline during our free estimate and stick to it — weather permitting for exteriors.

Yes, cedar shake is one of our specialties. Many Towson homes, especially in Stoneleigh and the Ruxton area, have original cedar shake siding from the 1950s-1970s. We scrape loose paint, replace any rotted shakes, prime bare wood, and apply two coats of high-quality acrylic paint or solid body stain. Properly maintained cedar shake looks great and lasts 7-10 years between paint jobs. We can also convert from paint to stain if you prefer a more natural look.

Absolutely. We use spectrophotometer color matching to match any existing color on your home. This is especially important for Towson homeowners doing partial repaints — like touching up trim while leaving the body color alone. We can also pull colors from photos, fabric swatches, or paint chips. Our free color consultation helps you pick a palette that complements your home's architecture and the neighborhood character.

For Towson exteriors, we primarily use Sherwin-Williams Duration and SuperPaint lines. Duration is our go-to for wood siding and trim — it's self-priming, extremely durable, and handles Baltimore County's humidity and temperature swings. For stucco and masonry, we use elastomeric coatings that bridge hairline cracks. All our exterior products carry manufacturer warranties of 15-25 years.
