Question 1

How much does house painting cost in Arlington?

Accepted Answer

Interior painting in Arlington averages $2–$4/sq ft. A typical 2,000 sq ft home's interior costs $3,000–$7,000. Exterior painting runs $2,500–$8,000 depending on home size, stories, and surface prep needed.

Question 2

How often should I repaint my Arlington home exterior?

Accepted Answer

Arlington's intense sun and weather cycles mean exteriors typically need repainting every 5–7 years. South-facing walls may need attention sooner. Quality paint and proper prep can extend this to 8–10 years.

Question 3

What's the best time to paint exteriors in Arlington?

Accepted Answer

Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are ideal for exterior painting in Arlington. Avoid peak summer when temperatures above 95°F can cause paint to dry too quickly, and avoid rainy periods for proper curing.

Question 4

Should I paint or stain my Arlington home's exterior?

Accepted Answer

For wood siding and fences in Arlington, stain penetrates and protects better in our climate. Paint provides more color options and coverage but may peel in the Texas heat. Many Arlington homeowners use paint on siding and stain on fences and decks.

Question 5

How do I choose a painter in Arlington?

Accepted Answer

Get 2–3 detailed quotes that specify paint brand/type, number of coats, and prep work included. Check reviews, ask for references from Arlington projects, and verify insurance. Professional painters should offer at least a 2-year warranty.
