FAQ

Exterior Painting Questions

How much does exterior painting cost in Chicago?

A typical single-family home exterior in Chicago costs $3,500–$8,000, depending on home size, siding type, and prep needed. We provide free, itemized estimates with no surprises.

How long does exterior painting take?

A full exterior on a single-family home typically takes 3–5 days depending on size and prep. We work efficiently and won't leave your home unfinished overnight.

Can you paint in cold weather?

We typically work from April through October for best results. Paint needs temperatures above 50°F to cure properly. We'll work with you on scheduling around Chicago's weather.

What paint do you use for exteriors?

We use Sherwin-Williams Duration and Sherwin-Williams Aura Exterior — both engineered for harsh Midwest climates. They resist fading, peeling, and moisture far longer than budget options.

Do you power wash before painting?

Yes, always. Power washing removes dirt, mildew, and peeling paint so the new coat adheres properly. Skipping this step is the #1 reason exterior paint fails early — we never skip it.

How long will an exterior paint job last?

With proper prep and premium paint, 8–12 years is realistic in Chicago. Cheaper contractors cutting corners on prep or paint may see peeling in 3–5 years. Our work is built to last.
