First Impressions That Last for Years
Your home's exterior faces Indiana winters, summer heat, and humidity year-round. A poor exterior paint job doesn't just look bad — it lets moisture in, accelerates wood rot, and leads to repairs that cost far more than the paint job itself. An exceptional exterior repaint is one of the highest-ROI investments a homeowner can make.
We don't skip prep — and that's what separates us from every budget painter you've called before. Every Hoosier Built exterior project begins with full pressure washing, scraping, sanding, and caulking. We prime every bare surface and apply two full coats of premium exterior-grade paint designed specifically to withstand Central Indiana's weather extremes.
Everything Covered in Your
Exterior Painting Project
Full Surface Prep
Pressure washing, scraping, hand-sanding, and caulking all joints and gaps before a single drop of paint.
Primer Coat
Every bare or previously painted surface receives a proper primer coat — the foundation that makes paint last twice as long.
Premium Top Coats
Two full coats of weather-resistant exterior paint applied with professional tools for even, streak-free coverage.
Trim & Shutters
Every architectural detail — trim boards, shutters, window casings, and doors — painted to match with crisp lines.
Landscaping Protection
All shrubs, plants, and hardscape fully covered and masked. We restore everything before we leave.
Final Inspection
Walk the full perimeter with our crew lead to confirm every surface is complete before we close out the job.

What Does Exterior Painting Cost
in Indianapolis?
Exterior painting costs in Indianapolis depend on the square footage of paintable surface, the number of stories, the siding material, the condition of existing paint, and how much prep work is needed. Homes with significant peeling, bare wood, or caulk failures require more prep — and should.
Beware of any exterior quote that seems dramatically lower than others. The prep phase — pressure washing, scraping, priming — is the most labor-intensive part and the first thing cut-rate contractors skip. You'll see the failure within 18 months.
Every Hoosier Built exterior estimate is broken down by phase: prep, primer, paint, labor. Nothing hidden. We explain exactly what we're doing and why. You'll know what you're getting before we ever start.
A properly executed exterior paint job on an Indianapolis home should last 8–12 years before it needs attention. That's the return on doing it right the first time.
Budget Option
Minimal prep, cheap paint, and a crew that moves fast — not precise. High risk of peeling, fading, or failure within 2–3 years. You'll pay twice.
Average Contractor
Decent results most of the time, but inconsistent surface prep and generic paint brands mean you're gambling on the outcome.
Hoosier Built
Full prep, premium Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore materials, a professional crew, detailed final walkthrough, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee — every time.
