Sample exterior pricing. 

*Prices include

Shutters from $15 to $23 per shutter, which includes 1 coat of quality paint from Sherwin Williams and PPG/Porter Paints, Lowe’s or Home Depot. Higher quality paints can retail for $60 a gallon, thus the range in prices. Second coats are 50% of the first coat price, for all trim items. Replacing broken shutter screws cost $3 each; or they will be painted over, unrepaired. Please inspect your house for loose shutters- the corners hang out. Possible surcharge for difficult access due to trees, shrubs, high heights or difficult roof access. Second coats are 50% off the first coat price for all trim items.

Window gaps caulking- $10 per basic window, will use premium silicone for max durability. Higher price for larger foyer windows. Most homes have 1/4”+ open gaps around windows, as the original caulk has shrunken and the house settled. You’re losing heat & AC and allowing termites and pests to enter through these gaps. Some surcharges may apply to clean off old caulk and prepare the surface. Existing old caulk will still show, as new caulk is clear. Clear caulk allows me to make a solid seal onto the edge of the adjacent brick or siding.

Window washing- $2 for each basic half window, top or bottom; $4 for both, exteriors only. A great deal to have a clean view. Many people have not washed windows in years, so the price is a bargain! You must remove & reinstall screens from the inside. Different pricing for oversize windows; can be priced upon arrival to your home. Window washing only offered with painting work; not as a separate service.

For example:   

• Lockset type- some are slow to paint around; a simple knob is the base price, a loop-style handset is extra.
• Windows- always have old paint mess or grungy old caulk to tediously remove.
• Prep required- removing grease, sanding scuffs, primering rust with multiple coats.
• A 50% additional price is added for two colored doors- very tedious to paint!
• Most doors require two coats.
• Major color changes, ie: white to bright red can require three coats- incurring a double fee, as a second coat is just 50% more than a single coat, a full three coats is double the single coat price.
• PLEASE NOTE: You will have to be home to allow for opening of your door.
• You will be re-installing the rubber weather stripping yourself, 1-2 days after the paint dries, and I will show you how to do this, very simple.
