Exterior painting typically costs between $1,819 and $4,551 in the United States, according to HomeAdvisor's national cost guide (updated June 17, 2026). These are national figures, not Georgia prices and not a quote; a written estimate from a contractor who has seen the job is the only figure to plan on.

What moves the price

  • House size, number of stories and access
  • Siding material and its condition
  • Scraping, caulking and wood repair before painting
  • Trim, shutters and doors in addition to siding

What to ask before you accept an estimate

  • What surface preparation is included, and is rotten wood repaired or just painted?
  • Which paint line and how many coats?
  • How is lead-safe work handled on a house built before 1978?

Frequently asked questions

Do Georgia contractors publish exterior painting prices on Georgia Home Contractors?

No. Contractors quote you directly after you send a project request. The site collects no prices, which is why this page cites HomeAdvisor's national figures instead.
