What's included

- 03Spot-priming bare wood with oil or bonding primer
- 04Two finish coats of 100% acrylic on body, trim, and accents
- 05Caulking, glazing, and minor wood repair as we go
Pricing logic
How we price it
Exterior pricing comes down to surface, story count, and how much prep the last paint job left behind.
Story count
Two- and three-story Cincinnati homes need lifts and ladders — we plan the rigging into the bid.
Substrate
Wood siding takes more prep than cement board. Brick painting is one-way; we'll talk you through it first.
Existing condition
Heavy peeling and failed caulk can double prep time. We document it with photos before quoting.
Color count
Body + trim is standard. Add a third or fourth color for shutters and doors and the day count grows.

"Three other quotes wanted to pressure-wash and paint in the same week. These guys spent four days prepping. You can see the difference from the sidewalk."
