Thanks again. These painting lessons demonstrate how to paint using several different techniques to create art in many different styles, from photorealism to abstraction. Elizabeth March 12, 2015
While there are several advantages of choosing Dallas Paints, a few that we would like to quote include:

A house exterior should be painted every 5 to 10 years on average. Exterior paint may last up to 20 years or as little as 3 years, depending on the location, climate, siding type, and paint type and quality. Southern- and southwestern-facing walls wear faster due to increased sun exposure. How often to paint a house Siding type Repainting schedule (years) Aluminum 5 – 10 Brick 3 – 20 Cement fiberboard 10 – 15 Stucco 5 – 7 Vinyl 2 – 10 Wood 3 – 7
Paint supplies cost $50 to $200 on average, depending on the complexity and size of the room. These items are also reusable for multiple projects in the future. If you hire a professional painter, they will typically bring supplies. Supplies Needed To Paint A Room Item Average Cost Scraper $6 – $20 Sandpaper $5 – $15 Patching Compound $10 – $20 Painters Tape $3 – $10 Brushes $2 – $15 Paint Roller Kit $10 – $25 Paint Tray $2 – $5 Drop Cloth $5 – $30 Ladder $80 – $300 Paint Sprayer Rental $30 – $50 per day
The house we’re working on is about 900 square feet. All in all it cost about $1300 to paint the entire place. The quote from our contractor was $2500 and that number didn’t include skim coating the dining room, which we ran into unexpectedly. So we saved over $1000 doing it ourselves, and our cost included a paint sprayer we purchased! Actually, let me break down all of the costs for you. (This is a rough breakdown, all numbers are rounded.)
Design Tip: Exterior Painting! Dark exterior walls absorb 70-90% of energy from the sun, a good choice in places with harsh winters.
Before we begin, we’ll protect floors and furniture and prep walls and surfaces by filling voids and cracks, hand scraping and sanding, and spot priming repairs. Only then will we begin to paint, using only the finest quality paints and finishes from Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG.

Detailed and fabulous post Josh! Thank you, and what a fab job you are doing with that house…erm, can we hire you to fly down and paint our beach house in Jamaica? 🙂 paul July 14, 2017 Laura Hager February 25, 2015
If you do decide to make it a full-time business, the sky’s the limit. The house flipper/contractor that I worked for billed clients $35 per hour for painting, and paid his best painters perhaps half of that, so there is room for some profit there. Consider the case of Matt Shoup, who started with $100 and went door-to-door, asking neighbors if they needed some painting done, then built a painting business that earns $2.5 million per year!
Amy, I am a firm believer that a good shop vac is one of the most important tools a person can have. Sami // Poor & Pretty February 25, 2015
Homeowners all across the United States spend an average of $3 to $3.75 per sqft on professional painting labor and supplies. That is why painting home of 2,000 sqft costs about $6,000 to $7,500.
This information is based on our costs which are competitive with most professional, fully licensed and insured painting companies serving Greater Los Angeles.
I like this painting . #painting #painters #house #home #melboune #paint #Cottage
In comparison, siding replacement costs $3 to $11 per square foot when panels are too worn to paint.
Maybe the paint color didn’t turn out the way you hoped. Don’t stress it can be changed.
