Everything seems to be on the rise, from gas prices to groceries, it's no wonder that people are becoming more conscious of their spending. Getting quality services typically comes at a cost. Are you wondering how you can cut costs for your exterior painting project?
We do not believe in delivering cheap services, so we are going to share little-known budget-friendly exterior painting tips that can help you to still enjoy quality professional painting services without breaking the bank.
One of the most effective ways to reduce the cost of your exterior painting project is to take on some of the tasks yourself. Here are a few things you can do to keep costs down:
Tip 1: Power Wash Your Own House
Before the painting begins, your house needs a good cleaning. Instead of hiring a professional power washing service, consider doing it yourself. Renting a power washer or even borrowing one from a neighbor can save you approximately $300 or more.
Tip 2: Combine Exterior and Interior Painting Services
If you're planning to freshen up the interior of your home as well, consider bundling the services. J & J Painting offers discounts when you hire us for both exterior and interior projects. On average, this can save you 5-7% of the total cost, which translates to $500 - $700 for a typical 2-story, 2300 sq ft home.
Tip 3: Limit the Number of Colors
While a colorful exterior can be appealing, it can also significantly impact the cost of your painting project. Each additional color requires extra time and effort, driving up labor costs and material expenses. For example, if you have a Victorian-style house with intricate detailing and you opt for four different colors, it can increase the price by as much as $1300 due to the additional time required for precision.
Consider limiting the number of colors you use to keep costs down. More colors can increase the price by $200 - $300 per color, so choose wisely to strike a balance between aesthetics and budget.
Bonus Tip: ROI - Painting Investment Return
You are not only enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your home when you hire a professional painter for your exterior painting project, but you are also increasing its value. The addition of fresh paint can potentially increase the value of your home by 1% - 3%. On a $300,000 property, this could translate to an extra $3,000 at the minimum or even up to an additional $9,000 in increased home value.
