Exterior painting in LA runs $6,000-$45,000 over 3-7 days depending on home size and surface preparation needs.

Exterior painting in LA runs $6,000-$12,000 for single-story homes with light prep, $12,000-$22,000 for two-story homes or significant prep work, and $22,000-$45,000 for large estates or full-stucco recoats. Most projects take 5-14 days on-site depending on home size.
Exterior painting in LA runs $6,000-$45,000 depending on home size and prep. Premium acrylic latex with mildew-resistant primer is the standard for the LA marine layer climate. We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore product lines (Emerald, Aura, Duration), all UV-rated for California sun. Surface prep, including pressure washing and caulking, drives most of the schedule and most of the longevity. Cost variance comes from prep condition (tight surface that just needs wash + scrape vs. extensive caulking + patching + spot priming on weathered wood and stucco; prep can run 30-60% of total project cost), home stories (single-story is straightforward; two-story requires scaffolding and ladder work that adds 25-40% labor), product grade (mid-tier exterior is $40-$60/gallon; SW Resilience/Duration or BM Aura/Regal premium lines run $70-$110/gallon and hold color years longer on south- and west-facing walls), color count (one body + one trim is fastest; 4+ colors with accents adds days), and stucco crack repair if applicable. We default to two finish coats over the appropriate primer because one-coat application looks fine on day one and shows lap marks within a year. License #1131088, 2-year workmanship warranty.
