Exterior Painting

About Our Exterior House Painting Service 

When painting the outside of your home, hiring a reputable outdoor house painter is important. That's because your exterior paint will last for many years, so why not get the paintwork done by a seasoned professional? 

At Scottsdale Drywall Solutions, we understand the importance of providing a high-quality exterior house painting service. Our team of exterior painters takes a client-based approach, putting your needs at the forefront and working hard to deliver on time and within budget. 

Why Us for Your External Painting? 

Your exterior wall paint is one of the first things neighbors, passersby, guests, and family members will notice about your home. That’s why it’s important to carefully consider the type of paint you use, the quality, and the color. 

It’s also essential to think carefully about the service provider you hire to paint your house. After all, this will have a direct impact on the outcome. 

While most exterior painting companies place the most emphasis on completing jobs as quickly as possible, we take pride in producing quality results. This means we will never cut corners to get the job done faster or recommend a particular paint just because we can profit from it. 

Our aim is to add value to the community and ensure that when we walk away, you are satisfied with the outcome and can be proud of your home. 

What’s more, our painters are fully licensed, trained, and insured to provide complete peace of mind! 

Why You Should Hire a Professional for Your Exterior Painting 

When it comes to painting a house, many homeowners like to think of it as the perfect DIY project. After all, you can pick up reasonably priced external paint at the hardware store, so why not just paint your walls yourself? 

Well, there are several reasons why this isn’t a good idea. 

Firstly, contractors have the skills and knowledge required to ensure that you get a high-quality final product. This means they will leave no stone unturned to get the perfect finish. A professional painter will remove dirt and grime, repair any damaged surfaces, and get rid of underlying paint before applying a fresh coat. 

An external painting company can also help you get the job done a lot faster, so you can go back to enjoying your home. 

Painters are also color experts, which means that we can help you choose a color that will complement your home perfectly and boost its value. Plus, you’ll save yourself the trouble! 

How Long Does It Take to Paint a House? 

The time it takes to paint a home's exterior will depend on various factors. The company you choose, the surface area of the home, whether other parts of the house exterior need painting and fixing, and more influence the time it will take to paint a house. 

However, if we have to provide a general answer to the question, “How long does it take to paint a house?" we would have to say roughly three to four days for a standard-sized house. 

By “standard-sized,” we mean a single-story home with no more than four bedrooms. Again, other factors may lessen or increase this timeframe. However, our Scottsdale house painters can offer more insight and provide a more accurate deadline for the completion of the project.

How Much Does It Cost to Paint the Outside of a Whole House?  

One of the questions we hear most often is, “How much is it to paint a house exterior?” We’ll tell you what we tell all our customers – it depends. The truth is that every external painting project is unique, with its own set of challenges. Various factors play a part in determining the exterior painting cost. This includes: 

• The prep work required 
• What masonry paint is used 
• Wall texture 
• Location of the property 
• Labor required 
• How many coats of paint are needed 
• The surface area of the home 

The good news is that you can learn more about the cost of exterior paint in Scottsdale by contacting us. Our team will come out to assess your home and provide more insight into the factors that will impact the cost to complete the job. 

Can Interior Paint Be Used Outside? 

This is another common question that we often hear. After all, using interior paint outside could help you save on costs. To answer the question, "Can interior paint be used outside?” we need to take a closer look at the composition of each type of paint. 

The truth is that exterior paints contain certain chemicals that make them more resistant to wear and tear and allow them to stay put, despite extreme heat and storms. When you apply interior paint on external surfaces, inclement weather will cause the paint to flake, crack, or run. 

This is why we never advise using paint designed for indoor spaces on exterior surfaces. 

What Color of Houses Sell the Fastest? 

In general, using neutral hues such as various tones of taupe, white, gray, and beige will result in a quicker sale. Because many home buyers desire the creative flexibility of a blank canvas to add their individual touches while searching for a new place to call home, neutral colors are more enticing to potential buyers. 

Moreover, painting your home a more neutral color provides a sense of timelessness and gives the appearance of maturity, making buyers take your property seriously. Bright colors, on the other hand, don't typically sell fast because they may not appeal to buyers and make the house stick out rather than blend in with the rest of the neighborhood. 

How Many Coats of Paint Does the Exterior of a House Need? 

When painting your house, you’ll probably hear home painters in Scottsdale talking about the number of coats needed. The truth is that one coat is simply not enough to cover your external surfaces effectively. 

You will need to apply at least two coats, provided you have a well-prepped and primed surface. 

How Do You Prep a House for Exterior Painting? 

The painting of a house involves much more than just slapping on some paint and calling it a day. We first prep the surface to remove dirt, grime, oil, grease, and existing paint. This is because simply painting over without this step will result in an uneven and ultimately unattractive final appearance. 

We start by first cleaning the walls with a pressure cleaner. This is an effective way to get rid of dirt and grime. Next, we'll repair any damage to the surface, often with stucco to cover up any cracks and holes that may have formed. 

Once the surface is uniform, it’s time to remove any existing paint. We do this using electric sanders, paint removers, or a plastic scraper. The method we choose will depend on the type of paint, the type of surface, and the surface area to be covered. 

After adding a caulk trim around doors and windows and covering up areas we don’t want to get paint on, our exterior house painter team will get to work painting your home! 

What Is the Most Durable Exterior House Paint? 

Although it's true that exterior paints with oil-based formulas penetrate quite well, acrylic exterior paint is typically regarded as the most resilient alternative. 

Why? Acrylic paints have a more flexible formula, allowing the paint to change size and shape in response to the environment and having superior weather resistance as a result. Under comparable circumstances, oil-based paints may fracture. 

Latex paints are a cheaper alternative to acrylic paint. They are also less toxic than acrylic paints. Talk to us to find out which option would be better for your home.
