"We are writing to share our experience with the Sac painting crew. Our very old home desperately needed to have a fresh coat of paint on the clapboards and trim. In fact, several locations needed sanding and staining. After meeting with the Sac team, my wife and I decided they were right for us. They were honest and forthright during negotiations and very reasonably priced. We felt comfortable engaging them and we are glad we did. At the final inspection of their work the site manager noticed some spot that needed additional attention which they handled without any extra charge to us. The Sac staff were very professional and neat, using drop cloths and picking up any trash at the end of each day… which was important to us. Upon completion, they left our property clean and presentable. We plan to have them handle additional work for us. We can recommend this company without reservation. P. & C. Collins"

"On March 6, 2025, I hired Opulent Surfaces to install 13 interior doors for my bathroom, hallway, and bedroom. Before agreeing to this project, we asked how long it would take. Ras, the installer, advised 4 to 5 days, including painting with a full team to assist. During the first two days beginning 3/6/25, there was a full team of four, but by day 3, there was no longer a team, just one person, which was Ras. He never advised us that his team had Covid-19 until 3/14/25, and that was after we constantly complained that it was taking too long for him to complete the job. This was the worst case of installation of interior doors I have ever seen. The doors were half haphazardly put up (See pictures). The installation was never completed, and neither was the painting. There was paint dripping all over my doors, floors, and all over my new hinges. We asked them to use drip cloths, but as you can see in the photos, that was not done. This company did less than 50% of the job, and I must pay"

Exterior home or structure paint or stains FAQs

Exterior paint costs around $20 to $80 per gallon, while interior paint costs around $20 to $30 per gallon. Outside paints tend to be pricier because they need to withstand the elements, such as abrasion, moisture, and color corrosion from the sun. In addition, painting the outside of a home is more costly at around $3,100, while painting a home interior costs around $2,000.

Use our paint calculator to determine the number of gallons of paint needed for your project. The average gallon of exterior paint covers 350 square feet in a single coat. So, a 1,500-square-foot home with a paintable area of 1,100 square feet requires seven gallons of paint for a two-coat application.

When determining how much extra paint to purchase and whether to apply primer, clear planning is essential. Rounding up your paint requirements ensures complete coverage and prevents gaps during the application process. Extra paint acts as a safeguard against miscalculations, while proper primer application—decided by the paint type and exterior condition—secures adhesion and long-lasting protection.

When determining how often to repaint your home’s exterior, careful evaluation of both the current paint condition and building materials is crucial. Exterior paint is engineered to last five to 10 years. Aluminum surfaces require repainting every five years, wood requires a new coat every three to seven years, and painted brick needs refreshing every 15 to 20 years. Visible chipping or cracking signals the need for prompt repainting to sustain protection and curb appeal.

When deciding whether to roll or spray exterior house paint, the method chosen directly influences the overall finish and work efficiency. Rolling delivers precision and control for tight, detailed areas, whereas spraying achieves a smooth, even coat on large surfaces with high efficiency. The equipment used and labor intensity are key considerations; homeowners must choose the technique that best suits their project scale and quality requirements.

When evaluating the duration of an exterior painting project, a professional team completes an average-sized house within three to four days. Larger or more complex projects—such as three-story homes or residences with extensive architectural details—require five to six days due to increased surface area and additional setup. A contractor provides an exact timeline after reviewing all project specifics.
