I own a painting business, I’ll tell you what we charge & how we do it.

Usually $1300-$2500( + paint) depending on size of the house. First we power wash the surface to get any dirt/mildew off. Next we repair any cracks/holes on the surface. After that it’s paint time, primer + two finish coats.

With that said, the pricing can vary obviously. Painting companies are going to charge more than a handyman for example. When you do decide to paint it, spend the extra bucks on a quality primer & paint. (If someone tells you that you don’t need a primer, stay away) I recommend Loxon Masonry primer & either Duration or Superpaint for the finish, all are Sherwin Williams products. Let me know if you have any questions.

Usually scaffolding isn’t required. An extension ladder or two works. Cut in around the edges/doors/windows first & then use a roller on an extension pole to roll the remaining area.

Pretty detailed answer. One question: is scaffolding needed/required? What would that cost?
