Bands come straight from each job’s worksheet, read per trade — so a siding-and-painting project contributes only its exterior painting amount here. Jobs whose per-trade split could not be verified are excluded entirely, which is why this is a documented sample of our work rather than every job we have run.

Before You Compare Bids
What Moves the Price
Two homes on the same street can price differently for reasons that never show up in an online calculator. These are the levers that actually decide where your exterior painting project lands.
01
Wall area and stories — prep and masking scale with size
02
Condition of the substrate: peeling, chalking, and wood repair before any paint
03
Paint system quality and number of coats
04
Trim, doors, shutters, and accent scope beyond the body color
05
Whether it pairs with siding work, where shared prep and one mobilization save real money

Where exterior painting projects landed in each city we have documented work in. Differences here track the housing stock — home size, age, and story count — far more than the drive time.

What Neighbors Actually Do
What Gets Done at the Same Time
Of the 71 documented exterior painting projects, this is how often another trade ran on the same job. Combining work is usually cheaper per trade — one mobilization, one set of scaffolding and masking, one disruption to your week — and it is the single easiest way to lower the total.
Monthly, Not All At Once
What the Median Project Costs Per Month
Median $2k–$5k project
$146/month
0% APR for 24 months, on approved credit.
Financing changes the monthly math more than most homeowners expect, which is why a project that looks out of reach as a lump sum often is not. We also offer 4.99% for 60 months when a lower payment matters more than a shorter term. The figure shown is an illustration from the median band — your exact terms are confirmed in your written proposal, with no prepayment penalty.

What Customers Say About the Work
Honest numbers only matter if the work behind them holds up. These are real Google reviews from Austin Pro customers.
Fast, affordable & beautiful work. 10/10 Would use again. I wish I would've replaced my roof years ago instead of doing more damage waiting. Such a relief having it done.
The Austin pro guys did a great job working on my house. The communication was great. Very professional. And this did it for a fraction of the price as compared to the next guy. Kevin was very pleasant to work with. Garret did a good job on the punch out. Maria was very patient with all my questions. Was a pleasure interacting with them, and I would truly recommend them to any …
Austin Pro did an outstanding job installing our new oversized 16ft sliding doors leading out to our patio. I worked with Paul Schantz on the project and the entire process was smooth from start to finish, and the installation was completed professionally and quickly and made sure everything was clean before they left. The new doors look fantastic and operate perfectly. I would…
Straight Answers
Exterior Painting Cost Questions
How much does exterior painting cost in Austin?
Across 71 documented Austin Pro exterior painting projects (2022–2026), the median landed in the $2k–$5k band, and the middle half of projects came in under $5k. The full spread ran from Under $2k to $10k–$15k. Each figure is that project's own exterior painting amount — when a job bundled other trades, their cost is separated out — so the numbers mean exactly what they say.
Why might my exterior painting quote come in above this range?
Because these bands describe homes, not square-foot formulas. Larger or two-story homes, hidden rot or substrate damage found during tear-off, harder access, premium material lines, and wider trim scope all push a project up. That is exactly why we inspect before quoting rather than pricing over the phone — the written proposal you get lists the scope behind every dollar.
Do these figures include materials and labor?
Yes. Every band is the finished, materials-and-labor price for that trade on a completed project, excluding sales tax. They are not estimates or calculator output — they are what the work actually invoiced for.
How do you calculate these numbers?
We read the price of each trade directly off the job worksheet, so a project that included exterior painting and other work contributes only its exterior painting amount here. Jobs whose per-trade split could not be verified are left out entirely. This page covers the 71 documented exterior painting projects that carry a verified band — a sample of our completed work, not every job we have ever run.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. An Austin Pro estimate starts with a free in-person inspection and ends with a written proposal — scope, materials, timeline, and price. No obligation and no pressure; the numbers on this page exist so you can sanity-check any bid, including ours.
Can I finance the project?
Yes — financing starts at 0% for 24 months and 4.99% for 60 months on approved credit. As an illustration, a project in the median $2k–$5k band works out to roughly $146/month on the 24-month 0% plan. Exact terms are confirmed in your written proposal.
