Painting services in Fort Wayne come down to four jobs: exteriors, interiors, brick and murals. Each one starts the same way, with a painter looking at the surface and writing down the prep, the coats, the price and the dates.
Siding, trim, soffits, fascia and doors. The written quote lists the washing, scraping, priming and caulking as well as the two coats.
Typical: $6,200 to $11,600
Brick, block and stone, painted before or bare. Mortar repairs come first, then a coating that lets the wall dry out.
Typical: $3,500 to $10,500
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors, one room or the whole house, with the patching and priming written into the quote.
Typical: $1,000 to $3,100
Kids' rooms, shops, restaurants and outdoor walls. Expect a sketch to approve before any paint touches the wall.
Typical: $700 to $1,800
Three steps. Nothing is owed and nothing starts until you sign.
Say what needs painting and where the house is. Have a few photos ready: the painter may ask for them when they call.
Peeling paint, chalky siding and soft wood change a price more than square footage does, so each one gets pointed out and written down.
The work, the prep, the paint, the price and the start and finish dates, on paper from the painter. Read it at your own pace before you sign.
Outdoor painting weather in Fort Wayne runs from about mid-May to late September. Ask for a price over the winter and you can pick your dates.
