Aluminum siding earned its spot on many South Texas homes for its durability and low maintenance, but even metal cladding needs a face-lift after years of sun and salt exposure. When the faded sheen finally bothers the eye, the first question every homeowner types into a search engine is the same: “What is the painting aluminum siding cost this year?” The answer is nuanced. Material prices shift weekly, labor markets vary by neighborhood, and prep work changes from house to house. That is exactly where CountBricks shines. Our AI-driven estimating engine pulls live material catalogues, labor rates, and scope details in real time, delivering a figure you can trust while you are still on the phone with your client.
Based on thousands of CountBricks residential projects, the current painting aluminum siding cost typically lands between $2.10 and $4.30 per square foot of cladding. For a 1,900-square-foot single-story home that translates to $3,990–$8,170. This spread looks wide because several factors swing the final bill, and understanding them is essential for accurate budgeting.
• Surface area of exposed siding and trim
• Existing coating condition and the amount of scraping or sanding required
• Number of colors including body, soffit, fascia, and accent bands
• Sheen and quality of paint—economy acrylic vs. premium elastomeric metal formulas
• Regional labor rates and crew availability during peak season
• Home height and accessibility that may call for scaffolding or lift rental
• The presence of lead-based primer on older homes requiring compliant abatement
Most contractors still scribble numbers on the back of a business card. CountBricks replaces guesswork with data.
1. Voice Scope Capture: During a live site walk, simply talk to our app—“twelve hundred square feet of aluminum siding, minor oxidation, two finish coats.” The AI transcribes and quantifies every word.
2. Real-Time Material Sync: CountBricks queries regional suppliers and inserts today’s paint price per gallon, primer allowances, plastic, tape, and sundries.
3. Production Rates: Our residential database calculates labor hours based on crew size and historical metal-painting performance.
4. Overhead & Profit: You set your margin once; the algorithm applies it consistently.
The result is a line-item estimate emailed to the homeowner before you reach your truck.
• Labor: $2,600 – $4,100 (roughly 55% of total)
• Materials: $1,000 – $1,900 (high-adhesion primer, two coats of metal-rated acrylic)
• Equipment & Site Prep: $390 – $800 (pressure washing, minor repairs, masking)
• Overhead & Profit: Variable per contractor settings in CountBricks
A motivated homeowner can rent a sprayer and buy paint, but the math rarely favors DIY at scale. Add up rental fees, wasted paint from overspray, and the real cost of two lost weekends, and the savings shrink fast. CountBricks partners with vetted painting crews who work safely at heights, follow manufacturer spread rates, and guarantee adhesion.
Oxidized aluminum must be washed until chalk stops rubbing off on your hand. Failing to neutralize that powder is the fastest way to force a repaint next year. Our estimate engine adds labor hours for high-pressure detergent washes or chemical etching where necessary, so you see the true price of doing it right instead of facing hidden change orders later.
