- Notes: It can be quite difficult to accurately estimate the amount of time it takes to complete painting the exterior of a home. Factors such as the number of painters, the size of the house, the weather, and the amount of work required to prepare the surface. On average, small to medium-sized homes (1-2 stories, 1500-2500 sq ft) could take between 4-7 days, while bigger homes (2-3 stories, 2500-4000+ sq ft) could take between 7-15 days.
