Exterior Home Improvement FAQs
How much does it cost to renovate the exterior of a house?
In DFW, light refreshes (repairs, paint, trim) can start in the low five figures.
Full-scope projects (siding replacement, roof, windows, and patio covers) scale with size, access, materials, and scope.
We can define the project early and offer an excellent alternative to reduce your final cost.
How do I modernize the exterior of my house?
There is a wide range of options. For example:
Use cleaner lines (panel siding), larger windows, restrained colors, and an upgraded entry.
Add shade with patio covers and accent brick or natural wood for warmth.
How much does it cost to replace siding on a 2,000 sq ft house?
Ranges depend on materials (vinyl siding, fiber-cement siding, engineered wood) and installation details.
We’ll present options with transparent costs for Dallas and surrounding TX neighborhoods.
What is the cheapest way to finish the exterior of a house?
In Dallas–Fort Worth, the lowest-cost finish upgrades usually start with repainting or basic vinyl siding, then step up in price to fiber-cement, stucco, and stone accents.
Smart tips for DFW homeowners:
- Tackle high-impact areas first (street-facing elevation, entry, trim) and phase the rest later; painting brick + trim often costs far less than a full re-clad.
- Mind the climate: in our sun and hail, a slightly better coating (UV/fade-resistant acrylic) or thicker shingle can reduce future repaints/repairs, often cheaper over the life of the finish.
What exterior home improvements add the most value?
There is not a huge range of options, but here are some consistent leaders:
- Siding replacement
- Energy-efficient windows
- Garage/entry door replacement
- Covered patio covers to expand living space and protect finishes.
What color makes a house look modern?
Across Dallas–Fort Worth in 2025, “modern” exteriors lean toward soft whites, warm off-whites, greige/taupe bases with high-contrast trim (often near-black), and nature-inspired accents (muted greens, moody blues).
These palettes feel current without fighting HOA rules.
HOA tip (DFW): Many communities require pre-approved exterior palettes; check your HOA’s list or use the Sherwin-Williams HOA Color Archive to find compliant schemes before you paint.
Why these colors work here: neutrals with warm undertones and organic accents have dominated recent exterior trend reports and brand forecasts (think whites/creams/soft grays with nature-inspired hues).
They boost curb appeal and play nicely with brick/stone seen throughout DFW neighborhoods.
How much does it cost to paint the exterior of a house in 2025–2026?
In the Dallas–Fort Worth area, most exterior repaints land around $4.00–$9.00 per sq ft (labor + materials), with typical whole-home totals as follows:
- 1,500 sq ft home: $6,000–$13,500.
- 2,000 sq ft home: $8,000–$18,000 (DFW average projects commonly fall between about $9,000–$12,700).
- 3,000 sq ft home: $12,000–$27,000+ depending on stories and prep.
What moves the price up or down
- Stories & access: Two and three stories raise cost (ladders/scaffolding). One-story DFW repaints often start around $1,500–$3,500, two-story around $3,000–$6,500, and a three-story $5,000–$10,000+.
- Substrate & scope: Brick + trim or full-brick coatings can push totals higher than basic lap siding.
- Prep level: Scraping, sanding, priming, caulking, and any repairs (e.g., minor rot or stucco crack repair) add labor; more prep = better longevity.
- Paint system & quantity: Premium, UV-resistant acrylic latex costs more per gallon but lasts longer in Texas sun; 2 coats on properly primed surfaces is common.
Exterior Remodeling Materials & Weather Resilience
- Metal roofing and architectural shingles improve hail/wind resistance.
- Low-E double/triple-pane windows improve energy efficiency and comfort.
- Cool-roof options reduce attic temps in Texas summers.
- Moisture-resistant materials for decks and siding help prevent rot/mildew.
- Patio covers and pergolas extend shaded space for your family.
