Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to paint the exterior of a house in Baltimore?

Exterior house painting in Baltimore costs $3,000-$8,000 for a typical home, or $1.50-$4.00 per square foot. Baltimore rowhouses typically run $2,500-$5,000. Larger homes in Towson or Bel Air can range $6,000-$12,000. Price depends on home size, stories, prep work, and paint quality.

What is the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Maryland?

September and October are ideal for exterior painting in Maryland. Humidity drops below 60%, temperatures stay in the 60s-70s, and rain is less frequent. April through June is the second-best window, though spring pollen and afternoon storms can cause delays.

How long does exterior paint last in Maryland?

With proper prep and premium paint, exterior paint lasts 7-12 years in Maryland. Baltimore's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters are tough on paint. North-facing walls and homes near the Chesapeake Bay may need attention sooner. Prep quality is the biggest factor in longevity.

Do you pressure wash before exterior painting?

Yes, pressure washing is always included in our exterior painting prep. It removes dirt, mildew, chalk, and loose paint. We then scrape, sand, caulk gaps, prime bare wood, and apply two coats of premium exterior paint. Thorough prep is why our paint jobs last.

Can you paint vinyl siding?

Yes, vinyl siding can be painted. We use 100% acrylic latex paint rated for vinyl, which expands and contracts with the siding. The key is choosing a color no darker than the original — darker colors absorb more heat and can cause warping.

How many coats of paint does an exterior need?

We apply two coats minimum on all exterior projects. Bare wood gets a primer coat plus two finish coats. Two coats provide better coverage, richer color, and significantly longer durability than a single coat.
