Certainly, waiting too long between exterior paint jobs leads to expensive repairs including rotted wood and water intrusion.
For example, the average cost to replace rotted wood siding or trim is $1,800 if you are lucky.
Combined with the additional labor needed to scrape, sand, prime, caulk, and repair growing areas of peeling paint, it can get expensive.
Fortunately, all of this is prevented by regularly repainting the exterior of your house every few years.
However, once water gets behind your siding or trim, it can wreak havoc on the foundation and framing of your house.
Not to mention you may have to replace windows, doors, gutters, porches, railings, and your roof if you wait too long between exterior repaints.
Likewise, exterior paint prevents mildew and mold from growing behind your siding, soffits, fascia, and trim. Those that have paid for mold remediation work in the past will tell you it’s not cheap.
In the worst cases, we’ve seen exterior damages lead to structural failures and entire rooms or porches collapsing.
Consequently, major exterior repairs or structural damages can range from $10,000 to $60,000 for extensive replacement work.
Whether you get on a ladder and paint the exterior yourself or hire a painting contractor, we recommend maintaining exterior surfaces regularly every few years. All things considered, it’s a small price to pay to avoid major home improvement headaches down the line.

The quality of paint you use on the exterior often determines the longevity of your outdoor paint job. In most cases, the best exterior paint is made by either Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore.
More specifically, SuperPaint by Sherwin Williams is a solid entry-level choice for exterior paint. Alternatively, Aura exterior paint by Benjamin Moore is a good choice for exteriors as well.
If possible, avoid using cheaper outdoor paints like Ben by Benjamin Moore or A-100 by Sherwin Williams. Likewise, you should skip the exterior paint sold by Home Depot, Lowes, or other big box hardware stores.
Instead, we recommend using Duration or Emerald by Sherwin-Williams for most home exteriors if you can afford it. While these exterior paints are more expensive, the added years of protection you get when upgrading paints is well worth it.
Whichever store you choose, you’ll likely want to stick with exterior acrylic latex paint versus oil-based products.
Today’s modern water-based latex paint allows for proper breathability and is just as durable as oil-based. This goes for both exterior and interior paint.
In addition to being more eco-friendly, latex outdoor paint is way easier to clean up after finishing.
Having said that, there’s a time and a place for oil-based paints like when priming wood knots to prevent bleed-through.
In any case, that’s why Improovy’s exterior painters only use the best exterior paint from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams.
Ultimately, we know how important paint quality is to the lifespan of an outdoor paint job. That’s why we don’t cut corners when it comes to the exterior house paints we use.
Yes, Improovy includes a free virtual exterior paint color consultation with a Sherwin-Williams designer as well as home color recommendations from our expert painting team. After booking, we will work with you to find the perfect color for the exterior of your home.
Additional resources to find the best exterior paint colors for our customers include using paint test patch samples and exterior color visualizer apps. That way, you can view each shade at different times of the day.
And when it comes to exterior paint sheens, we recommend using flat or satin for siding, semi-gloss for trim, and gloss or semi-gloss for front doors. In any case, your Improovy project manager will guide you through the process, step-by-step.
The two most popular exterior paint colors that homeowners are loving this year are Alabaster by Sherwin Williams and White Dove by Benjamin Moore.

Detailed below is our typical exterior home painting process from start to finish. While every house is different, this outdoor painting checklist helps ensure a high-quality job.
How much does it cost to have an exterior painted professionally?
The average cost to have an entire exterior painted is $7,582 for a two-story 2,500 sqft house across all house painting companies in the US.
Accordingly, exterior painting costs have risen sharply this year due to increase paint product costs and shortages. This is in addition to higher-than-average inflation and rising labor rates.
Simply, there isn’t enough qualified painter labor to fulfill exterior demand these days. As a result, many reputable house painters have year-long wait times. Indeed, this is why painters often need to push exterior projects out to the next season.
If you are already an expert painter and have all the tools needed handy, it is cheaper to paint your own house.
Nonetheless, if you DIY-paint the exterior, expect to spend at least $750 on new paint alone. Moreover, expect to spend around $1,200 for supplies like ladders, pressure washers, or paint sprayers. Likewise, expect to spend another $150 on paintbrushes, sandpaper, drop cloths, and rollers. To this end, painting the entire exterior of a 2500-square-foot house is a massive DIY project to undertake, especially for beginners.
On the other hand, small outdoor projects like painting garage doors with a fresh coat of paint are great DIY jobs to knock out over a weekend.
The average exterior painting project takes 3-5 days to complete depending on accessibility and the size of your home. This includes all the necessary preparation work before painting and a full cleanup after the job is done.
Oftentimes, weather delays occur during exterior painting jobs as you cannot paint in the rain or if the temperature is too hot or cold outside. Not to mention, overly windy days can make for dangerous working conditions, considering most exterior painting is performed on ladders.
