EXTERIOR HOUSE PAINTING FAQ
Quick answers to common exterior painting questions for Toronto homeowners and property managers.
Exterior painting costs in Toronto depend on the size of the home, the surfaces being painted, the amount of prep work required, and access to the work area.
Many homes need a combination of services, such as siding, trim, doors, brick, soffits, fascia, and decks. The biggest pricing factors are surface condition, repairs, scraping, sanding, caulking, and how much setup is needed.

Your quote will clearly list what is included so there are no surprises.
Most exterior painting projects take anywhere from 2 to 7 days, depending on the size of the home, weather conditions, and how much prep or repair work is needed.
Larger or more detailed projects can take longer, especially if there are multiple surfaces involved (siding, brick, trim, soffits, decks, and doors).
Prep is one of the most important parts of a long-lasting exterior paint job. Depending on the surface, prep may include:
Pressure washing or surface cleaning
Scraping loose paint
Sanding rough or peeling areas
Caulking gaps and joints
Priming bare areas
Minor surface repairs
We assess the condition first and include the necessary prep steps in the scope of work.
We paint and stain a wide range of exterior surfaces, including:
Wood siding and trim
Aluminum siding
Vinyl siding (with proper products)
Stucco
Brick (paint or stain depending on the project)
Doors, shutters, and garage doors
Soffits, fascia, and eaves
Yes. Exterior brick staining is one of our specialty services. It is often a better option than paint when homeowners want to preserve the natural texture of the brick while changing the colour.
If you are deciding between painting and staining brick, we can explain the pros and cons during the estimate.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECT THE PRICE OF EXTERIOR PAINTING?
EXTERIOR CARPENTRY SERVICES AVAILABLE
Exterior paint only lasts as long as the surface underneath it. If you have rot, loose trim, soft wood, or damaged boards, we can repair it before we prime and paint.
We employ full-time carpenters and handymen to handle the small to mid-size exterior repairs that many painting companies avoid. Common projects include rotted sills, fascia and soffits, bay window trim, porch posts, fence boards, and damaged wood details.

MORE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much paint do I need for a 1500 square foot house exterior?
To paint a 1,500 square foot house exterior, you’ll need about five gallons of paint, if one gallon covers 300 square feet. This calculation is based on one coat of paint. It’s always good to have a bit extra just in case. For primer, you might need around five to eight gallons, as a gallon typically covers between 200 to 300 square feet. Check the can for exact coverage details.
What's the best paint for exterior house?
For the best exterior house paint, we recommend Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior Acrylic Latex. It’s known for its durability, which means fewer repaints over time. This paint forms a robust barrier against weather elements, ensuring your home looks great for longer. Choosing a durable option like this is key to maintaining your home’s exterior, saving you time and money in the long run.
Is it better to roll or spray exterior paint?
Spray painting is quicker and provides a more consistent finish, but it might be challenging for beginners. On the other hand, roll-on paint is cheaper and easier to handle, especially for those with little experience. So, if you value speed and a smooth look and don’t mind the learning curve, go for spray. Otherwise, rolling is a great, budget-friendly option.
What time of year is best to paint exterior of house?
The best time to paint the exterior of a house is during late spring or early fall. During these seasons, the weather is usually mild with low humidity, which helps the paint cure properly. Avoid painting in extremely hot or cold temperatures and during rainy or windy weather. This ensures a smooth finish and long-lasting results. Remember, good preparation and the right timing make all the difference!
Do I need to prime the exterior of my house before painting?
Absolutely, you should prime the exterior of your house before painting, especially if you’re changing the color. Primer makes the color transition smoother and is cheaper than extra finish coats. Plus, if you’re going from a dark to a light color, have your primer tinted with some of the topcoat for better coverage. This simple step can save you time and money while ensuring a great result!
Can I paint my house exterior yourself?
Painting your house exterior yourself is possible, but be sure you have the time, tools, skills, and stamina for the job. It can be tough and tedious, especially if your house is large or the siding needs a lot of prep work. If you’re not ready for this kind of challenge, it might be better to hire professionals.
Can you paint over old exterior paint?
Yes, you can paint over old exterior paint if it’s in good condition and firmly attached to the surface. Whether you need to prime first depends on the current paint’s type and state. If the old paint is glossy or oil-based, priming will help the new paint adhere better. Always make sure to clean and sand the surface before starting to ensure the best results.
Should you power wash house before painting?
Absolutely, You should power wash your house before painting! If you skip this step, the paint won’t stick well to your home’s exterior, whether it’s wood, vinyl, or another siding. This can lead to a less attractive finish and a paint job that doesn’t last as long. By removing dirt and grime through power washing first, you’ll ensure a smoother, longer-lasting paint job that makes your house look fantastic.
How many coats of paint does the exterior of a house need?
The exterior of a house typically needs two coats of paint. The first coat acts as a primer, helping the paint adhere better and providing a good base. The second coat ensures even coverage and depth of color. It’s important to let the first coat dry completely before applying the second for the best results. Always check the paint manufacturer’s instructions for specific guidance.
When not to paint outside?
For the best results, don’t paint outside if the temperature is below 50°F, and make sure it won’t drop below 32°F at night. Even if it’s warm during the day, a cold snap at night can mess with the paint’s finish. So, aim for mild, stable weather and always check the forecast to ensure your hard work pays off!
How many years does exterior paint last?
The lifespan of exterior paint can vary, but it typically lasts between 5 to 10 years. Factors like the type of paint, local climate, and level of maintenance play significant roles. High-quality paints and regular upkeep can help extend the life of your paint job. If you notice peeling or fading, it’s probably time for a fresh coat.
What happens if it rains after painting house?
If it rains after you’ve painted your house, it can be a problem. Before it can be exposed to rain, fresh paint must dry and cure for 24-48 hours. Wet paint may run, streak, or wash away, leaving an uneven finish. To avoid this, always check the weather forecast before starting. It’s best to paint when you have a few days of dry weather so the paint has time to cure properly. If it does rain, you might need to touch up some areas later on.
Can you paint a house without washing it?
Sure, you can paint a house without washing it, but it’s not a great idea. Houses get dirty over time, and if you don’t pressure wash first, the paint won’t stick well. Dirt, contamination, and oxidation will prevent a good bond between the siding or wood and the new paint. This means your paint job won’t last as long and might peel. For the best results, always start with a clean surface.
Do professional painters clean before painting?
Yes, professional painters definitely clean before painting. They make sure the area is spotless by dusting and wiping down surfaces, vacuuming floors, and either removing or covering furniture to protect it from paint splatters. This thorough prep work helps the paint to stick better and results in a smoother, longer-lasting finish. It’s all about starting with a clean slate for the best results!
