Clear Pricing Backed by Lasting Results
Most exterior painting estimates in Jacksonville look the same on paper. After 25 years and 5,000+ projects, we’ve seen our share of competitor bids — and the pattern is consistent. They say “Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore paint” without specifying the product line. They list labor without detailing surface prep. They leave out the number of coats entirely. And when those details are missing from the estimate, they show up as problems — or change orders — in the middle of your project.
Our bids don’t work that way.
Every A New Leaf estimate names the exact product going on your home — not just the brand, but the specific line, the sheen, and why we chose it for your surface and conditions. Every estimate specifies the number of coats, the prep sequence, and what’s included in the scope. When you sign with us, there are no gray areas — because gray areas are where costs change and trust breaks down.
Three things most estimates leave out that ours never do
The Exact Product
“Sherwin-Williams” isn’t a spec. Sherwin-Williams® Emerald, Duration, or SuperPaint are three very different products at three very different price and performance points. We name the product every time.
The Number of Coats
One coat and two coats are not the same job. We specify coat count on every surface in your estimate — walls, trim, doors, and soffits.
The Prep Scope
Power washing, crack sealing, re-caulking, and primer applications are itemized — not bundled into a vague “prep included” line that means different things to different contractors.
The sections below break down exactly what drives exterior painting cost in Northeast Florida — so you can read any estimate, including ours, and know exactly what you’re getting.

Exterior painting cost in Jacksonville depends on your home’s size, surface type, stucco condition, wood repair needs, caulking, height, accessibility, coating system, and HOA color requirements. Because Florida homes deal with humidity, UV exposure, heavy rain, mildew, and salt air, the prep system matters just as much as the paint itself.
A premium exterior repaint that protects the substrate for 8–10+ years almost always costs less per year than two cheap paint jobs in 6 years. The numbers below are starting ranges — the only accurate price is the one we give you after walking your property in person.
Exterior Painting · Jacksonville, FL
In Northeast Florida, an exterior paint job is your home’s first line of defense against humidity, salt air, and intense UV exposure. Square footage is the starting point — but surface condition, prep requirements, accessibility, and coating quality are what drive your final investment.
Factor 01
The more damaged or porous the surface, the more material and prep labor required. Not all surfaces are equal in Florida.
Factor 02
In our climate, the paint is only as good as the prep beneath it. A premium estimate from A New Leaf always includes:
Factor 03
Complexity increases the man-hours needed to ensure safety and detail. Three sub-factors drive this cost:
The Warning
In Florida, a low-bid paint job using contractor-grade paint typically fails within 3 years due to UV fading, moisture penetration, and adhesion failure.
These are approximate starting ranges for Jacksonville-area homes. Scope, surface condition, material selections, and site conditions all affect the final number. Call (904) 615-6599 for a free in-home estimate.
Level 1
Full Accessibility
Minimal landscaping, no shutters, open lot. Easiest access all around.
Level 2
Mild Obstacles
Some landscaping, basic shutters, standard AC units. Minor masking required.
Level 3
Complex Access
Heavy landscaping, rails, shutters, AC units, screened lanai. Significant masking and detail work.
Level 4
Specialist Required
Uneven terrain, boom lift required, extreme architectural complexity. Custom scope only.
Pricing By Surface · Jacksonville
Different surfaces demand different products, prep, and labor. The cost of painting a stucco home is not the same as painting a Hardie board home or a brick home — and the difference comes down to what each substrate needs to perform in Florida’s climate.
Surface 01
Stucco is one of the most common exterior surfaces in Jacksonville — and one of the most demanding. Florida stucco moves with humidity, develops hairline cracks, and absorbs moisture if not properly sealed. Pricing variables include:
Surface 02
Wood is the most labor-intensive exterior surface in Florida. Older wood siding is prep-heavy — what you pay for is the labor, not just the paint. Pricing variables include:
Surface 03
Hardie board has the longest paint life of any common Jacksonville exterior surface — often 10 to 15 years between full repaints. But the joints, butt ends, and trim need attention sooner. Pricing variables include:
Surface 04
Painting brick is a one-way decision — once you paint it, you commit to repainting it every 8 to 12 years. The product specification matters more than on any other exterior surface. Pricing variables include:

What You’re Paying For
A premium exterior repaint isn’t just paint on a wall — it’s a 12-step prep, repair, and application system designed to perform in Florida’s climate. Every estimate from A New Leaf Painting includes:
Industrial-grade washing to remove dirt, mildew, salt residue, chalking, and biological growth.
Every loose or peeling paint flake removed down to a stable surface before any topcoat goes on.
Elastomeric patching at every hairline crack before paint — the difference between a 3-year and 10-year job.
Failed caulk removed and replaced at every window, door, trim joint, and penetration.
Carpentry repair quotes for any rotten or damaged wood found during inspection — before paint covers it up.
Bare wood, repaired stucco, stained surfaces, and masonry all get the right primer for the substrate.
Windows, pavers, plants, pool cages, AC units, and fixtures fully masked before any spray application.
Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Duration, Loxon XP, or Benjamin Moore Aura/Regal Select — specified by surface.
Daily site cleanup, final inspection with you, and a written workmanship warranty on every project.
If a competing estimate is significantly lower, ask which of these steps they’re skipping. Pressure washing, full re-caulking, two coats, and premium coatings are the items most often left out of budget bids — and they’re the ones that determine whether your paint lasts 3 years or 10.
How To Compare Bids
Two estimates for the same Jacksonville home can differ by 40% or more — and the reason almost always comes down to scope, not greed. Before you compare prices, make sure each estimate includes the same actual work. Here’s what to look for:
Variable 01
Does the bid include full pressure washing, scraping, sanding, mildew treatment, chalk removal, and adequate dry time? Or is “prep” just a quick rinse? This is the single biggest variable between estimates.
Variable 02
Is the bid including full re-caulking at every window, door, and trim joint? Are stucco hairline cracks being individually patched with elastomeric? Skipping these is the fastest way to lower a bid — and the fastest way to fail.
Variable 03
Two full coats is the professional standard. One coat will cover but won’t perform — and many budget bids quietly assume one coat. Always ask, in writing.
Variable 04
Premium acrylic versus contractor-grade can be a 2x cost difference per gallon — and a 3x life difference on the wall. Make sure the product is named in the proposal, applied at manufacturer-specified spread rate.
Variable 05
If the inspection finds rotted wood, fascia, or trim — is repair included, quoted separately, or simply painted over? Painting over rot guarantees premature failure and far higher cost down the road.
Variable 06
Is the contractor licensed and insured in Florida? Is there a written workmanship warranty — and for how long? An uninsured low bid puts you on the hook if anyone gets hurt on your property.
The bottom line
A lower estimate isn’t a deal if the scope is smaller. The cheapest bid almost always means less prep, fewer coats, lower-grade paint, and no warranty — which means you’ll be repainting in 3 to 5 years instead of 8 to 10. We’d rather lose the bid than win it by cutting the work that actually keeps your home protected.
For HOA Communities
If your home is in a Jacksonville HOA community — Nocatee, Sawgrass, Marsh Landing, Palencia, RiverTown, eTown, Eagle Harbor, Queens Harbour, or any of the other 100+ master-planned neighborhoods we work in — HOA approval is the single biggest factor that affects when your project can start.
Most HOAs require an Architectural Review Board (ARB) submission before exterior painting begins. Submissions typically need: color names, paint products, sheen specifications, an LRV (light reflectance value) rating, and sometimes a sample board or photo of the proposed colors. Approval timelines range from 7 days to 6 weeks depending on the community.
What we provide for HOA homeowners: color names, product specs, sheen recommendations, LRV data, and approved palette guidance for communities where we have prior submission history. You stay the submitter; we hand you everything the ARB asks for.
These are starting ranges only
Every project has unique scope, material selections, and site conditions. The only accurate number is the one we give you after seeing your home in person — and that estimate is always free.
Here are ballpark price ranges for homes in Northeast Florida. Costs depend on wall height, details, and accessibility.
Different surfaces require different prep and coatings. Here’s what you can expect.
Most exterior projects in Florida fall into this per-square-foot range, including labor and paint. Prices vary based on surface texture, height, and accessibility. 2-story homes or those with special details may cost more.
