How Much Exterior Trim Painting Can Cost
The cost to paint exterior trim depends on the size of the home and the detail of the trim. Two coats of paint on a 2500-square foot home’s trim can cost $7,000. The price of exterior trim painting can even go over $15,000.

A 2500-square foot colonial home usually has wood soffits, facia, corner boards, garage and front doors, and a small covered porch over the front entrance. Including preparation and 2 coats of paint, you might invest around $7,000 to $15,000.
“Seems like we’ll need to check on our exterior trim every 5-7 years. Hopefully it won’t need repainting each time,” Nathan says.

What’s The Next Step?
“We should research painting companies in the area,” Nathan says. May pulls out her phone too so they can cover more ground as they look for someone to paint their home’s exterior trim.
