Has anyone gotten their home exterior painted recently? Our house is 1410 square feet (inside), but I have no clue what the exterior square footage is. It is a two story house. I am going to get some estimates but am just wondering what a ballpark price would be.

Iwould guess about $3000, based on what you are telling me. I had a 2000 sqft duplex (one story) repainted for $2,800 recently, with lots of awnings and eaves. How is the trim on your home?

Every time I need something done, I usually put a post on Craigslist on the gigs/labor. I usually get around 20 or so response providing rough estimate/bidding to do work on my house. I pick about 4-5 of those bidders and have them come over and do a final bid onsite and I pick the one I like best.

For a license contractor, you might be looking in the $2,500-$3,000 ball park. I had a contractor do some repairs on my house and he was trying to get more jobs and offered to paint my two story 1,800 sq ft for $3,000 but decline his offer.
