Big EZ Renovations provides professional exterior painting for homes and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans.

Exterior Painting Costs in New Orleans

Project	Cost Range
Small home (under 1,500 sq ft)	$2,500 – $5,000
Average home (1,500-2,500 sq ft)	$4,000 – $8,000
Large home (2,500+ sq ft)	$7,000 – $12,000+
Commercial building	$5,000 – $25,000+

Costs depend on home size, number of stories, surface condition, and paint quality. Homes with significant wood rot, peeling, or surface damage require more prep work, which increases cost.

Why Exterior Paint Fails Faster in New Orleans

Humidity: Moisture trapped behind paint film causes blistering and peeling. Proper surface prep and breathable coatings prevent this.
UV exposure: Intense sun fades colors and breaks down paint binders. We use UV-resistant formulations.
Rain: 64 inches of annual rainfall constantly tests paint adhesion and waterproofing.
Mold and mildew: Warm, humid conditions promote fungal growth on painted surfaces. We use mildew-resistant paints.
