You'll want your painters to be licensed, bonded, and insured. Membership in a local trade association is also a good sign of an experienced, dedicated company.

If you only have one side of your home with peeling paint, take the costs above and divide them by 4.
Having an extra bucket (or two) is always handy for cleaning your paint tools after a hard day’s work.
We recommend obtaining a written, detailed outline of the surface preparation process before you hire your next painter. Any good residential painting service worth considering should include detailed prep details in their estimate.
Not only temperature levels, but moisture levels must also be carefully considered. Mild humidity provides the best climate for exterior house painting. Again, there are exceptions, and painting contractors should be able to offer solutions for those who must paint in weather that isn’t perfect. However, rain is a deal breaker. If paint is applied in the rain—or even made to dry in the rain—expect a disastrous result! Bottom line: don’t paint in the rain or near the rain unless you’re interested in a splotchy, bubbly, and runny look (joke).
Did you know that the time of year you choose to paint the interior can have a drastic effect on the price of your job? If you want to save on paint costs, you may want to consider booking a time slot during the off-season.
Before you start looking for a professional painter, make sure that you know all of the details of the job you need done, including: the number of rooms you need painted, the size of the rooms, the type of paints and finishes you want, the colours you want, and so on. The more you can answer about these questions, the easier it will be to find a professional house painter who can meet your needs.
If you're renting, ask for your landlord's permission and if they would be willing to help with the cost.
This is so helpful! I’m getting ready to paint our upstairs apartment so our new renter can move in and it’s a daunting task. Do you have a recommendation for you favorite painter’s tape? I’ve never found one that seemed to actually do anything. Rosie February 27, 2015

Thank you for sharing these tips, Josh! My boyfriend and I are about to embark on a major re-design of our condo and I am not looking forward to all the painting prep work. It does make a huge difference if you do it right though! Stacia February 25, 2015
After priming has been accomplished, removing old caulking is necessary that is showing separation on one edge if not both. If new caulk is covered up over old, which is showing separation, new long term caulk will not last near the warranty either. Best to use a razor knife, cutting old caulk out. Using a wet or damp cloth wiping new caulk bead, smooths edge, giving a nice transition at 90 degree angles from wood trim to siding.

Painting a brick house costs $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot or $2,600 to $7,700 for a 2,000 SF home. Mineral-based paints cost the most but last the longest and maintain the brick's breathability to prevent deterioration. Painting raw brick requires a primer coat. Brick staining costs $1 to $4 per square foot and changes the brick's color with dye while allowing it to remain breathable. The cost to brick a house is $8 to $18 per square foot for siding too damaged for painting.
You’ll use the small 4″ inch roller & roller frame for all the trim on your house. The trim on our house was only 3″ inches wide and fascia boards were around 7″ so using a regular size roller here is a little bulky.
