Cost of Hiring a Dallas Home Painter
While we generally find that the two biggest concerns homeowners have about their home improvement projects are cost and project length, when it comes to home painters it's usually more about the money. Why is this? Simple: Just like anywhere else, Dallas home painters aren't cheap, but they will get the job done a lot faster than you can. For every project ServiceMagic processes, we gather information on how much the project cost, how long it took, and any comments/advice from the homeowner. What we find, time and time again, is that homeowners find that hiring a home painter is more expensive than they imagined, but in the end, totally worth it.

So, just how expensive is expensive? The average cost to paint the exterior OR interior of your home is about $2,000. I don't know if that sounds like a lot, but the national average to paint a home's interior is $2,000 and a home's exterior is $3,000. The lower cost of hiring a Dallas home painter for your home's exterior has mostly to do with the favorable weather. Of course, this is still just an average for special considerations and house sizes you may be looking at as much $5,000-$7,000 or as little as $900. You can also get individual rooms or other small painting projects done for as little as $300-$500.

Estimated Time of Completion for House Painters in Dallas
So just how much time will you save? An interior paint job will take one day to one week. An exterior paint job take an extra couple days, but almost never runs past two weeks. You may still be thinking this is something you want to do yourself, but by the time you move your furniture, tape up all the edging, lay down plastic to protect your carpet, stir a dozen cans of paint, get rollers, paintbrushes, and trays, you'll probably be ready to tear your hair out before you ever start painting.

If you're concerned about the time it may take to paint your home's exterior, the best time of year to hire a Dallas house painter is generally in the winter. This is not because it's cooler but because it's usually drier. In Dallas, it shouldn't be too cold to paint, but precipitation levels drop reducing the chance your painter's schedule will get pushed back due to rain.

What Dallas Home Painters have to Offer your Home
The most commonly requested painting jobs are exterior and interior home painting, but professional house painters have a lot to offer your home. Faux finishes, texturing, and mural or trompe loeil are all decorative painting techniques Dallas home painters specialize in and that you may not be able to pull off yourself. The materials and expertise of faux finishes make these projects a little more expensive, the detail work of texturing and prep work cause these projects to take a little longer. That said, these painting techniques bring an incredible look to your walls and your home décor, in general. Especially if you're going to hire a painter to paint the interior of your home, anyway, you might inquire about doing one room, such as the living room or dining room, with an extra touch.
