What can we help you paint?
Cooley Brothers Painting's exterior repaints typically cost $8,000 to $18,000 for a small home, $16,000 to $28,000 for a medium home and $22,000 to $56,000 for a large home. Where your home lands depends on its condition, the wood and stucco repairs it needs, height and access, trim detail and the paint system.
| Home | Typical price | What usually puts it there |
|---|---|---|
| Small home | $8,000 to $18,000 | Single-story, simpler trim, good condition |
| Medium home | $16,000 to $28,000 | Two-story, or more trim, windows and repairs |
| Large home | $22,000 to $56,000 | Large or complex homes, heavy prep, difficult access |
Your written estimate itemizes the prep, repairs and products, so you can compare it line by line with other bids. Prices assume check or bank transfer; card payments add a 3% processing fee, shown in your estimate. See the full exterior painting price guide and why painting estimates differ.
"The cost is higher than other painters but they use excellent materials and we had no problems so that's worth the extra cost."
— Mary R., Palos Verdes Peninsula, two-story exterior, Jan 2024
Every exterior follows the same prep-first sequence, and your estimate lists each step in writing:
"They removed drain pipes and light fixtures and anything attached to the walls and put them back again once the job was finished. They even washed the outside of my windows on the day of completion, something I did not expect."
— Irene B., Torrance, full exterior, 2026
Many South Bay homes combine stucco walls with wood trim, fascia and eaves, and each surface needs its own prep. Our crews sand the fascia, replace or patch bad wood, patch and repair stucco, and prime the wood and stucco before the finish coats. Wood repairs are priced in your written scope; see our carpentry and wood repair service.
"The facia boards were sanded down and bad wood was patched or replaced. All the wood and stucco was primered and painted."
— Mas T., full exterior, 2026
"Our stucco was in bad shape as well with discoloration and blistering where it came in contact with the soil surrounding our home. ... The crew did a fantastic job with the prep, painting, and stucco repair."
— John S., Torrance, Nov 2025
We look for damage when we walk your home and price the repairs we can see in your written scope. Some damage only shows up once prep starts and old paint comes off. When it does, we explain it and quote the repair before we do the work, so the new paint isn't covering a problem.
"We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work that was completed on time, at the price that was quoted in the proposal."
— Michael N., Palos Verdes Peninsula, exterior with fascia replacement, Nov 2023
It depends on the size of the house and how much prep and repair it needs, so ask for the expected number of working days at your estimate visit. For reference, two customers with full exteriors that included wood and stucco repair reported nine working days.
"They worked for nine days mostly doing a lot of prep work and two coats of everything."
— Irene B., Torrance, 2026
"We just finished a 9 day project involving exterior painting, stucco patch & repair, wood repair, and more, and could not be more pleased."
— Michael S., Palos Verdes Peninsula, Dec 2022
Our crew leaders help you narrow it down, and we can paint large samples right on your house so you see them in real light before you commit. If you're in an HOA, check its approved palette first; our guide to HOA paint colors in Rolling Hills Estates walks through the process.
"Choosing a color is not so easy, and Benjamin was able to paint 6 different color patches on our wall to help us determine the right color."
— Mas T., 2026
We offer 2-year and 5-year workmanship warranty options, depending on the project and the option you choose. The terms that apply are written into your estimate. If something shows up later, call (310) 378-4575 and we'll schedule a visit. Read more about our warranty options.
