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 number of stories — the size of the house sets how much paint and labor the job takes
02
What goes on the color list: siding, trim, fascia and soffit, doors, garage doors, gutters, shutters, and brick
03
Brick, which takes a sealer/primer coat before its two coats of paint
04
Whether new siding goes on in the same project, as it did on 300 of these 317 painting projects. Each price here is the painting portion alone

What Gets Done at the Same Time
Of the 317 documented exterior painting projects, this is how often another trade ran on the same job. Combining work is usually cheaper per trade — one mobilization and 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
$24–$61/mo*
Estimated at 7.99% APR for 120 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. There are three plans on approved credit: 0% APR for 24 months, 4.99% APR for 60 months or 7.99% APR for 120 months. The range shown is the median band on the longest, lowest-payment plan. Your exact terms are confirmed in your proposal, with no prepayment penalty.
*Estimated monthly payments assume the typical price is financed in full with no down payment, over 120 monthly payments at 7.99% APR. For example, $5,000 at 7.99% APR for 120 months is 120 monthly payments of $60.64. Other plans: 0% APR for 24 months or 4.99% APR for 60 months. All plans on approved credit; not everyone qualifies. Your rate, term and payment depend on your credit, the plan you choose and your final price.

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 317 documented Austin Pro exterior painting projects (2022–2026), the median landed in the $2k–$5k band, and the middle half of projects came in between $2k and $10k. The full spread ran from Under $2k to $15k–$20k. 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, a longer list of painted surfaces (trim, fascia and soffit, doors, garage doors, gutters, shutters), and brick, which takes a sealer/primer coat before two coats of paint, all push a project up. That is exactly why we inspect before quoting rather than pricing over the phone — the proposal you get lists the scope behind every dollar.
Do these figures include materials and labor?
Yes. Every band is the materials-and-labor price of that trade's own work on a completed project, before any discounts and excluding sales tax. They are not estimates or calculator output — they come from each project's own worksheet.
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 317 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 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, on approved credit. A project in the median $2k–$5k band works out to an estimated $24–$61 a month on the lowest-payment plan. Estimated monthly payments assume the typical price is financed in full with no down payment, over 120 monthly payments at 7.99% APR. For example, $5,000 at 7.99% APR for 120 months is 120 monthly payments of $60.64. Other plans: 0% APR for 24 months or 4.99% APR for 60 months. All plans on approved credit; not everyone qualifies. Your rate, term and payment depend on your credit, the plan you choose and your final price. Exact terms are confirmed in your proposal.
