At Marku Painting, we believe the outside of your home deserves just as much care as the inside. It’s the first thing people notice—and a fresh exterior paint job can dramatically improve your home’s appearance, protection, and value. Whether you’re aiming for a modern update, better weather resistance, or preparing to sell, we’re here to help you understand what goes into the cost.
Our pricing model is built for transparency, so you know exactly what to expect. Below are some general guidelines and important factors to consider when planning your exterior painting budget:
Key Cost Factors
-
Window Trim & Soffit Painting
These small but noticeable details contribute significantly to your home’s curb appeal. Costs will vary based on the size and complexity of the trim. -
Brick Painting
Brick surfaces require additional preparation and specialized materials, which can affect pricing. However, the visual transformation is often worth the investment. -
House Trim Updates
Repainting just the trim can offer a quick refresh to your home’s exterior without committing to a full paint job. -
Local Pricing Differences
Exterior painting costs may differ depending on your area, influenced by labor rates and material availability.
Helpful Tips for Budgeting
-
Request a Detailed Quote
A clear estimate should break down labor, materials, prep work, and any extras—helping you avoid hidden fees. -
Invest in Quality Paint
While premium paint may have a higher upfront cost, its durability means fewer repaints over time, saving you money in the long run. -
Don’t Skip Surface Prep
Proper preparation is essential for a smooth finish and lasting results. Make sure it’s included in your project scope.
