Exterior Painting Questions, Answered
How much does exterior house painting cost in Seattle and on the Eastside?
Most full exterior repaints on a typical two-story Seattle-area home run roughly $8,000–$18,000 for a quality two-coat job, or about $4–$9 per square foot of painted surface. Heavy prep moves the number most: failing paint, rot and siding repairs, and lead-safe work on pre-1978 homes all add cost. We inspect on site and give you one fixed price before any work starts.
When is the best time of year to paint a house in Western Washington?
The dry window from mid-May through mid-September is ideal, because siding needs to be dry — not just the weather on painting day — for the coating to bond and last. Good crews book that window up by early spring, so plan a summer repaint in winter. Shoulder-season work is possible with moisture metering and weather planning.
Do I need a permit to repaint my house?
No — ordinary exterior repainting doesn't require a building permit in Seattle or the Eastside cities. Exceptions worth knowing: lead paint abatement on pre-1978 homes must follow EPA lead-safe rules, homes in landmark or historic districts may need design approval, and rot or siding replacement discovered during prep can trigger a permit, which we handle.
How long does an exterior paint job last in our climate?
With thorough prep, quality acrylic paint, and two full coats, expect roughly 8–12 years on siding in Western Washington — less on sun-baked south walls and weather-side elevations. Washing off moss and algae every year or two and touching up failed caulk are the cheapest ways to stretch the repaint cycle.
