See your house in new colors

Upload a photo of your house, pick siding, trim and shutter colors and see it repainted in about 20 seconds.

Dirt, mildew and algae build up on siding, especially on shady sides of the house. Washing the house brings back its curb appeal and shows what condition the paint and siding are really in.

Where paint is peeling or worn through, the bare areas are scraped, primed and repainted so the siding underneath stays protected.

What affects the price

Size of the house
Bigger homes and two-story walls take more time and equipment to wash and paint.
What's being washed
Siding, driveways, walkways and patios each add to the job. Heavy mildew or stains take more time.
Prep work
Most of the cost of painting is the prep: scraping, sanding, caulking and priming before paint goes on.
Spot repaint or whole house
Touching up a few areas costs far less than painting the house, but fresh paint may not match faded paint around it.

Common questions

Is pressure washing safe for siding?

Done carefully, yes. Many siding types are cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash and a cleaning solution, because high pressure can force water behind the siding or damage soft materials.

Can you repaint only the peeling areas?

Often, yes. Spot painting protects the siding where it's bare. Older paint fades, so the new paint may look different until the whole side is painted.
