painting house exterior

When you’re thinking of getting the exterior of your house painted, you may have a few questions. The most common questions we get are, “how long does it take to paint a house exterior?” and, “what does it cost to paint a house exterior in Denver?

What Does it Cost to Paint Your House Exterior?

Every house is a different size and provides a different challenge when it comes to exterior residential painting. That being said, one this is for certain… “You get what you pay for!” 

Perhaps, the better answer to “what does it cost to paint a house exterior in Denver?” is that you need to decide for yourself what value you place on your project. We deal with all types of people and projects and the fact is that not everyone needs or wants the more expensive bid. We have found it is best to take a consultative approach with our customers so we can make the best recommendations for their specific project and give the fairest pricing for what all it entails.

If you want the short answer to “What does it cost to paint the exterior in Denver?” or a typical house in Colorado, we can tell you that the range is typically between $3,000 – $5,000. 

House Exterior Painting Cost Colorado

What Factors go into the Price of Exterior House Painting?

There are three main factors that affect the price of a job for every single painting contractor:

  • Labor = (about 45% of the cost) the painters
  • Material = (usually around 15% of the cost) paint, caulk, brushes, protection, and additional necessary sundries to ensure the job runs smoothly
  • Overhead = (around 40% of the cost) marketing, training, insurance, future warranty claims, and salaries of your sales representative, your project manager, and our other partners working behind the scenes to make sure the company continues to run as a highly efficient team

These percentages may fluctuate depending on the job, and most certainly by the company. Most companies would not feel comfortable enough to divulge where your money is going, but we felt it is only fair to be a little more transparent than the other guys and to explain to our customers at least how our company does things. Those are the expenses that Colorado Commercial and Residential Painting is charging for your common exterior residential house painting project. We try to be as fair as we can to everyone we work with and paint for.

Most Important Characteristics of an Exterior Home Painter

What Does it Cost to Paint a House Exterior

  • Price
  • Quality
  • Communication
  • Oversight
  • Cleanliness
  • Ability to anticipate and handle potential challenges appropriately
  • Scheduling, timing, punctuality
  • Reliability and Responsibility
  • Emphasis on prep work
  • Help with choosing the right colors
  • A company that will give me the whole price upfront and not come back and charge me for more things that should be done
  • Insurance
  • Warranty
  • Degree and variety of skill

People always seem to choose about three of these responses, as if they feel that they can only expect so much out of a painting company. Or maybe, they think they have to sacrifice some of these factors for the sake of price. This is understandable when so many sales reps are either saying the exact same thing, giving conflicting information or are charging prices ranging thousands of dollars apart. The process of collecting bids feels not too dissimilar to car shopping with the stereotypical used car salesmen trying to sell you lies. How do you know what to believe?

We recommend the company.C C.C C. ★★★★★ Colorado Commercial & Residential Painting recently painted the exterior of our house. We received competitive bids from other companies, but Colorado Painting stood out from the rest with their professional, knowledgeable, and courteous service.Hayden provided a comprehensive project plan of what repair work needed to be done and what materials would be use. Osman and his paint crew did an impeccable job making sure all surfaces were well prepped and taped off to catch any overshoot. When doing the inspection after the painting was completed we could not find any missed spots or places that needed paint reapplied. They also painted our rod iron deck railings and they look brand new.We would definitely not hesitate to hire Colorado Commercial & Residential Painting for any future painting needs.Holly G.Holly G. ★★★★★ The team was a pleasure to work with and the job was very well done. I couldn't be happier. The whole process was smooth, and they were very communicative throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them!Dustin B.Dustin B. ★★★★★ Great communication, execution, cleanup and follow-up. Highly recommended.Taylor L.Taylor L. ★★★★★ We are very happy with the paint job they did on the exterior of our house! From the initial quote and scheduling, to the prep, painting, and then the follow up quality check at the end, everyone at Colorado Commercial & Residential Painting made what felt like a daunting task a very seamless and enjoyable experience. The quote was reasonable and the team was professional and friendly. We have already recommended them to neighbors and friends!Patricia W.Patricia W. ★★★★★ Colorado Commercial &Residential Painting took on my project to paint my home.

It looks brand new and I would strongly recommend them!Mike B.Mike B. ★★★★★ I hired Colorado Commercial and Residential Painting to repaint my townhouse from top to bottom. The work was AMAZING. The final walkthrough was so great that I had nothing on my punchlist for them to fix! If you are considering a makeover, hire them!Todd V.Todd V. ★★★★★ Colorado Commercial and Residential Painting recently completed painting nearly 100% of our house’s interior. As the original owners of our 1999 home, we felt it was time for a change. Before the painters arrived, I decided to upgrade all our doors to solid core for a more high-end feel. I purchased pre-primed doors, installed them myself, and did some preliminary prep work.The painting team assured me they would make the doors and woodwork look amazing, and they delivered on that promise. They sprayed all the trim and new doors and rolled the walls with a new, lighter color. Even though I had prepped the doors, I noticed them improving some of my workmanship. They weren’t going to mention it, but I’m glad they did. The woodwork and doors now look like they belong in a 5-star hotel.Honestly, our house looks brand new and even better than the day we moved in back in 1999. Before selecting this company, I did some research with friends. While you can find cheaper bids out there, I believe you get what you pay for. Spraying the trim makes such a significant difference that it’s worth the extra work, additional cost, and minor inconvenience it causes.The team was highly communicative, very professional, and responsive to our needs throughout the five days they were here.I would definitely use them again and plan to do so for some exterior updates this summer.Pamela S.Pamela S. ★★★★★ Leo and his team did an amazing job painting our main level - ceilings and all! Colorado Painting is so helpful and friendly. The color they helped pick out with me is perfect. They are friendly, helpful, and neat!

I love finding locally owned and operated businesses that are a part of the community - you won't regret working with this company.Collin “.Collin “. ★★★★★ These guys were great! Responsive, in time and very professional. Highly recommend.Tracy S.Tracy S. ★★★★★ Colorado Residential and Commercial Painting repainted our home as well as our pergolas and I can’t say enough great things about them. The whole process went smoothly. So easy to work with as well as professional and just did an amazing job. If you need your home or business painted I would definitely give them a call!Jessie A.Jessie A. ★★★★★ They do a great job and everyone is friendly and helpful!Matthew F.Matthew F. ★★★★★ Excellent work, good communication and very quick.

I hired them for a big job -- the entire main level of my home and an upstairs bedroom, including two sky-high walls near my entrance. Everyone involved was professional, punctual and tidy. I made a mistake in not reading the quote carefully enough, but they worked with me to get the job done the way I envisioned it.js_loader
