It is a very rough estimate, but it could take between 10 to 20 gallons. The costs also varies greatly. It can be between about $8 to $30 a gallon.

The amount of paint depends on a lot of things. If you are painting over a material like new wood or unfinished concrete or a flat finish, it will soak up more paint, which will require more. If you are painting over a smooth, non porous surface, it will take less. It also depends on how many coats it takes. If you are using a lower quality paint, the paint itself will cost you less, but it will require more coats. You usually save money by spending a little more for a good quality of paint and for buying larger quantity containers. Five gallon buckets often cost much less than five single gallons.

If you talk to someone at the paint counter of your local home improvement center, they can ask you the right questions to get a better estimate.

It really depends on the house. How tall the house is? If it's one, two or three stories. If it's a one story, but up on pilings. If you want it re-caulked. If it's more than one color. Your price could run anywhere from $1.50 to $3.50 a sq foot. Are you buying the paint or are you wanting the paint contractor to supply it. There are a lot of different factors in paint prices.

What is the average cost per foot to paint house trim on a two story house?

What is the average cost per square foot to paint the exterior of a house in Charlotte NC?

If you are painting the area yourself, figure the square foot of the area being painted, not the floor area of the house, but the surface area. Divide that by 350 for all but the coarsest textured walls to discover the gallons of ordinary house paint needed to paint the house. Multiply that times the cost of a gallon of paint, as of June 2012, that's about $32 a gallon for a good quality exterior, and that will give you the cost of the paint to do a single coat. Double that amount for two coats, triple if you want a sealer and two coats of paint. For example, if your house has 1600 square feet of wall area, you'll need about five gallons for a single coat of paint. That would cost $160 for a single coat, About 500 for a complete paint job. The labor cost of painting the exterior of a house in any area depends solely on the complexity of the job and the motivation of the painter to get the job. A good guideline for an average house is to multiply the cost of the paint by 3 and add that to the cost of materials to get the price of a professional paint job. Figure about $2000 to paint your house that has 1600 square feet of paintable surface area. If you get three estimates, they should be near that amount, give or take 10%. Divide the 2000 by 1600 and that will give a total of $1.25 per square foot.

What should I expect to pay for exterior painting on a 3,000 sq. ft. home?

I would say if I had bid on painting this house when I painted it would have been around 1700-2000. That is because of so much brick and that is time consuming trimming in around to keep paint off bricks. If you want to know how much paint, it would take about 6 gallons plus primer for any bare spots and caulking around doors and windows.
