Who here has had the exterior of their home painted? Tell me about your experiences. Did you hire people or do it yourself. Do you regret not hiring or regret not DIYing it? How long did it take, what color did you go with, are you considering painting yours or content with it, etc

Interior painting stories are welcome, even sad ones!

I just turned my house from poopy brown to BLUE last year. I paid a local company to do it and it wasn't cheap (although much cheaper than full siding replacement, which was my initial intention). It took them two days and I don't regret it, tho I may not be the best person to ask cuz I'm very lazy DIYing just about anything around my house

I just turned mine from baby poop green to BLUE this week!

Definitely could've waited but we figured why not, fresh start etc. The green was fine but we went with a blue-grey and a pure white trim instead of off-white. Very glad we hired people, a bit pricey (tho the cheapest of the three quotes I got by a mile) and they moved super fast. Only took them two days. I've heard of people painting exterior themselves but I'm glad I didn't have to, mostly because painting the high spots on a ladder would be annoying af

Looks pretty slick! Happy with the results

Ever interior wall is the same pale-beige so that'll be next. That's one I'll do myself. Definitely gonna start with the bathroom and I wanna make the office more of a vibe, no idea what color to go with yet tho

Incredible right

I hear you paint houses
