Nothing boosts curb appeal faster than a fresh coat of paint. Yet for many Austin homeowners, choosing colors, calculating square footage, and locking down a realistic budget feel overwhelming. That’s why CountBricks combines AI-powered takeoffs, real-time material pricing, and seasoned residential crews to make exterior painting in Austin simpler, faster, and more predictable.
Between intense UV exposure, driving Hill Country rain, and cedar pollen, Austin exteriors take a beating. High-quality paint protects siding, trim, and soffits from moisture intrusion, premature rot, and fading. When applied by CountBricks professionals, a properly prepared surface can add 5–10 years to your siding’s lifespan while raising property value and energy efficiency.
• Rapid shifts from 50°F mornings to 95°F afternoons shorten open time and can cause lap marks
• Older neighborhoods such as Hyde Park and Travis Heights often feature mixed substrates—clapboard, stucco, and masonry—that each demand specific primers
• HOA color restrictions in master-planned communities like Steiner Ranch add an extra approval step
• Labor quotes fluctuate because regional demand spikes in spring and fall painting seasons

A full exterior repaint in Austin averages $2.50–$4.50 per square foot of painted surface, depending on height, complexity, and product grade. By extending siding life and boosting resale value, homeowners recoup an estimated 55–65% of project cost at sale, according to recent CountBricks market data.
CountBricks partners with local recycling centers to divert empty cans and rinsate water from landfills. Low-VOC and zero-VOC options are highlighted in every estimate so you can minimize indoor air impact during and after the project.
• Optimal temperature range: 50°F–90°F with humidity below 80%
