Executive Summary: Exterior Painters Near Me Houston
Exterior painting in Houston repaints siding, trim, doors, fences and masonry, with washing, scraping, caulking and priming before the topcoats.
The standard system is primer + topcoat. Most homes take an estimated 2 to 7 days with a 3 to 6 painter crew. Typical Houston-area pricing runs $2 to $4.50 per square foot of paintable surface, or $4,000 to $9,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home (estimates).
Rain and humidity delay exterior work, rot repair adds days, and homes built before 1978 need lead paint testing before scraping or sanding.

Frequently Asked Questions
The short answer is about $2 to $4.50 per square foot of paintable surface, or roughly $4,000 to $9,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home, based on typical Houston-area pricing. Square footage, stories, siding type and repairs move the number. Your written estimate sets the exact price.
Each extra story adds roughly 40 to 50% per square foot because of ladders, lifts and setup time (estimate).
The short answer is March through May and September through November. Those months bring milder heat and more dry days, which paint needs to cure. Summer work is possible with early starts and shade planning, but afternoon storms and high humidity can push dates, so build in a buffer.
We watch the forecast and move exterior days rather than paint into rain.
Yes, we do wash every exterior before painting, because paint does not stick to dirt, chalk or mildew. Pressure and detergent are matched to the siding, with low pressure on stucco, wood and older brick. The surface dries fully before any primer or topcoat goes on.
Mildew-heavy walls get extra treatment. See Exterior Mold & Mildew Painting.
The short answer is a 100% acrylic exterior paint over the right primer, with elastomeric coatings on cracked stucco and masonry. Acrylics flex with heat and resist UV fading better than cheaper blends. Lighter colors also hold up longer on south and west walls that take the most sun.
For stucco cracks, see Elastomeric Coating Systems.
