How much does it cost to paint a house?
House painting is one of those renovation jobs that can bring a significant new look and protection to your home. However, before you grab the paint buckets and brushes, it's important to understand how much house painting can cost and what factors affect the price. In this article, we will look at the costs of painting a house and also provide an easy way to get a price estimate for your own project.
What affects the price of house painting?
The price of house painting can vary significantly depending on various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to:
1. Size and shape of the house
Larger houses require more paint and labor, so they cost more to paint than smaller houses. In addition to that, for example, small windows, glass roofs and balconies slow down the painting work, because they require special precision and caution.
2. Surface condition
If the surface of your house is in poor condition, it will need more primer before painting, which will increase the cost. Cleaning the mold of the house, scraping the flaky paint and painting the primer can very well be a more laborious step than the painting itself.
3. Selected paint type
Higher quality paints are more expensive, but they often offer better protection and durability.
4. Scope of work
Do you want to paint only the exterior walls or also the area around the window frames and doors? The scope of the work directly affects the costs.
5. Labor costs
Hiring a professional painting company costs more than painting yourself, but it usually guarantees a higher quality end result. In addition to this, your summer vacation will be spent on vacation, not at the stroke of a brush.
So how much does painting a house usually cost?
The price of painting a house varies by region, company and work phase. In general, you can expect to pay somewhere within the following price ranges for a house that doesn't require extensive groundwork:
- Painting the wooden parts of a small brick house: €2,000 - €3,000
- Medium-sized houses: €3,000 - €6,000
- Large houses: €6,000 - €10,000 or more
These prices are indicative and may vary depending on the above factors and local conditions.
