According to a recent color psychology study, 62% of adults favor blue over other colors. Fortunately, determining the cost to paint a house is just as simple as deciding on a favorite color.

The same survey indicates that 58% of adults think homes should have more vibrant colors instead of neutral shades. Let’s face it: A vibrant paint job makes your home look and feels like it’s new.

You spend a lot of time in your home. You deserve to have a house that turns heads for the right reasons.

Cost to Paint a House

The average cost to paint a house is around $2.50-$4 per square foot. According to the painting cost per square foot exterior, a house that’s 1,500 square feet will cost $4,500 to paint. The costs also depend on where you live, your house’s size, and its exterior condition.

The taller a house is, the more it’ll cost to paint. Think of the height as extra square footage to account for. Many homeowners find themselves paying well over $2,800 for an exterior paint job.

These costs don’t include how much it costs for taping and other preparatory measures/resources. The cost to paint the exterior of a house is more expensive, and getting it professionally done is worth it because it affects your curb appeal.

Why Hiring a Professional is Worth it

How much does it cost to paint a house? It’s all about who you hire for the job. Hiring experienced professionals means your house will look better than ever.

However, painting your home’s exterior is tough work. It takes a lot of sweat, labor, and time to complete. By hiring a professional, you’re paying for convenience and professional skills.

You should only attempt to paint your own house if you’re experienced with DIY jobs. Otherwise, you risk losing money by making mistakes a professional knows how to avoid.

Select Painting does professional exterior paint jobs for affordable prices. They also give you a free estimate prior to painting your house. There are even virtual estimate options available.

DIY Paint Costs

Doing a DIY exterior house paint job means you won’t have to pay for labor. Nonetheless, you’ll be paying for the supplies and spending time/labor doing it yourself

The average house paint cost depends on what kind of paint you use. Latex paint is the most common type of paint used for exterior paint jobs. It costs between $20 to $70 per gallon. A quick square foot measurement of your house will help you determine how much paint you need.

Other Factors

Other factors increase your need for more paint. For instance, rough siding like stucco always calls for extra paint.

Painting a metal/aluminum siding also calls for extra coatings of paint, including corrosion-resistant metals. It costs around $400 and $3,500 to paint metal siding.

Embrace the Power of Color

Out of all DIY jobs, interior painting is the most popular. The cost to paint a house is high, but so are the costs of any mistakes you make while DIYing.

Once again, wait until you’ve had some experience with DIY paint jobs before painting your house. It’ll spare you a lot of embarrassment and money.
