How much does exterior painting cost in Las Vegas?
Exterior pricing comes down to measured wall and trim square footage, the condition of the stucco, how much surface repair and prep is needed, and the number of stories. We measure the home, write the prep and coating scope line by line, and give you one fixed price before any work starts — no per-square-foot guess over the phone.
- Free on-site measurement
- Line-item written estimate
- Stucco repair priced separately

The Problem
The sun here does the damage, not the rain
In most of the country exterior paint fails from moisture. In southern Nevada and southern Utah it fails from UV and heat cycling. South and west elevations chalk, fade, and lose their binder years before the shaded sides do, which is why so many houses here have one wall that looks a decade older than the rest.
The other failure mode is prep. Coating over chalky, dusty, unwashed stucco means the new paint is only as attached as the powder underneath it. It looks great for a season and then peels in sheets.
What real exterior prep looks like
Prep is most of the labor on an exterior job and almost all of the difference in how long it lasts. We wash first, repair second, prime third, and only then coat. If you are evaluating an existing coating, start with our guide to [painting over old exterior paint](/blog/paint-over-old-exterior-paint).
Crack and stucco repair
Fill hairline cracks and patch stucco where the scope requires it.
Caulking penetrations
Seal window, door, and trim joints before finish coats.
Primer or masonry sealer
Match the base coat to bare, repaired, or chalky surfaces.
Complete masking
Protect stone, roofing, windows, landscaping, and hardscape.
Coats by elevation
Select coat count for each elevation based on exposure and condition.
Doors, garage doors, and shutters
Front doors, garage doors, and shutters take the worst of the sun and are usually the first thing that makes a house look tired. They also happen to be the cheapest single change to the curb appeal of a property.
These are often quoted as their own small scope. If your body and trim are still holding up, refreshing just the doors and shutters can be a fraction of a full repaint.
HOA colors and approvals
Plenty of the communities we work in have an approved palette and an application process. We will work from your community's approved color list and give you what the board or management company needs on paper, so your repaint does not turn into a violation letter.
How It Works
What the project actually looks like
Inspect the elevations
We look at each side separately. The south wall usually needs more work than the north one, and the estimate should say so.
Wash, repair, caulk, prime
Surfaces are cleaned, cracks and stucco damage are addressed, joints are re-caulked, and bare or chalky areas get primed.
Coat and walk the property
Body, trim, and accents coated per the written build, then a walk of the full perimeter with you before we pull off site.
What moves the price
We do not publish a price list, because a real number depends on your property. These are the things that actually change it, and every one of them shows up as a line item on your estimate.
- Square footage and stories
Height drives access equipment and labor as much as surface area does.
- Surface condition
Chalking, peeling, and cracked stucco add washing, repair, and priming hours before finish coats.
- Repairs required
Hairline cracks, spalled stucco, or damaged fascia are quoted as their own repair line items.
- Number of colors
Body, trim, accent, doors, and shutters each add cut-in time and masking.
- Access and obstacles
Tight side yards, pools, mature landscaping, and slopes all change how the crew has to work.
- Coating selection
Higher-grade exterior and elastomeric products cost more up front and perform differently in this climate.

Questions
Straight answers before you call
Do you pressure wash before painting?
Yes, on essentially every exterior. Coating over chalk and dust is the single most common reason a repaint fails early. Washing is listed on your estimate as part of the prep scope.
How long will an exterior repaint last here?
It depends on product, prep, exposure, and elevation. What we will commit to in writing is the workmanship warranty on your estimate, rather than a number pulled out of the air.
Can you paint in summer?
Yes, with scheduling adjustments. Crews follow the shade around the house and avoid coating surfaces that are too hot, which is why summer exteriors are sequenced by elevation rather than done all at once.
Do you repair cracks and stucco damage?
Hairline cracks and typical stucco patching are part of the prep scope. Larger structural stucco work is quoted separately so you can see exactly what the repair costs versus the painting. Read whether painting over stucco is a good idea before coating an unpainted or damaged surface.
Will you match our HOA's approved colors?
Yes. Bring us the approved palette or the community standards and we will work inside them, and provide documentation for approval where the board requires it.
Do you paint the garage door and front door?
We do, and they are itemized. Some clients repaint the whole exterior, some only refresh the doors and shutters. Both are legitimate scopes.
