The job

What exterior painting usually includes

  • A written scope listing siding, trim, doors, porches and garage
  • Washing to remove dirt and mildew before any scraping
  • Scraping and feathering loose or peeling paint
  • Minor wood repair or filler, with rotted parts flagged for replacement
  • Primer on bare wood and patched areas
  • Caulking at trim joints, windows and doors
  • Two finish coats of exterior-grade paint
  • Lead-safe ground covers and cleanup on pre-1978 homes
Price

What drives the cost of exterior painting in Berkley

  • Size of the house, number of stories and access for ladders or lifts
  • Condition of the existing paint and how much scraping it needs
  • Rotted wood that needs a carpenter before painting
  • Number of colors and amount of detailed trim
  • Siding type: wood, aluminum, stucco or brick
  • Paint line and whether a full primer coat is needed
  • Lead-safe containment on homes built before 1978
  • The age of the home: the typical Berkley home was built around 1949, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Berkley

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Berkley was built around 1949. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

78% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Berkley building department before work starts.

Compare quotes

How to compare exterior painting quotes

  • Get three written quotes with the same surfaces, number of coats and paint line.
  • Ask exactly how they prep: washing, scraping, priming and caulking.
  • For a pre-1978 home, verify the EPA firm certification and ask about ground covers and cleanup.
  • Ask for proof of insurance, especially for two-story work on ladders or lifts.
  • Confirm how wood rot is found, priced and repaired before paint goes on.

Exterior Painting in Berkley: FAQ

Late spring through early fall, on dry days within the temperature range printed on the paint can. Cold nights and dew can ruin fresh paint late in the season.
It depends on prep, paint quality and sun exposure. South and west walls usually fail first, and good prep matters more than the brand.
Aluminum siding paints well after cleaning and priming. Vinyl can be painted with vinyl-safe colors, but very dark shades can cause warping.
