There are a few obvious signs such a chipping and cracking paint that shows your home needs exterior painting, but there are also some less noticeable signs that can necessitate a repaint.
Now that you understand the need to repaint your home exterior regularly, you may ask, how often should I paint it? Let’s discuss the timing.

Pros and homeowners can apply paint by spraying or rolling it onto the wall. Spraying takes less time and less work, resulting in lower labor costs for you. You can save money, especially on large jobs, by hiring a painting contractor who uses a sprayer.

Once all the walls were patched, repaired, dry, and sanded it was time to spray on the primer. Using the sprayer took some getting used to. If you do have a big project ahead of you and decide to buy or rent a sprayer, here are a few tips I (as an amateur) would pass on to you when it comes to using a sprayer:
If you are researching, we challenge you to start with us. That may result in your expectation being raised ever so slightly:)
Because calculating the cost of an interior paint job is a bit more difficult, here are the factors that are taken into account: prep work, paint and supplies, trim and molding, windows and doors, unique textures, and labor. Let’s take a look at each factor individually:
If you’re planning on repainting your home, you may have to take a few extra steps. Depending on the state of your walls and the current color, you’ll probably have to put a layer of primer down first. That way, you can be sure the new color shines without the old showing underneath. For the average 2,500 sq.ft. house, you can expect to pay between $7,700 and $10,500 with the primer layer.
Kelly Brothers did a fabulous job on our exterior painting. Their attention to detail is exceptional. Hats off to Justo, Ricardo, Casey and Marisel. They all were so pleasant to work with during the entire job. Our house looks brand new. Also big thank you to Alisa and to Joe who was our estimator. If you want a professional, hard working painting company, look no further than Kelly Brothers!!
You’re likely excited to pick a color and see your room come to life, but like all of our paint advice, we want you to always consider prep first. An older home usually requires a different approach to prep than a newer home.
Make sure you also cover your flooring with your canvas drop cloths to protect them from paint spills, and tape the drops down to the floor along the baseboards to keep them from pulling away from the walls.
Such a great locally owned business! The Kelly family and their team are experienced, truthful, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!
