House painting
Scottsdale
Interior painting and exterior painting for stucco homes that live with desert sun, monsoon rain and HOA color rules. You get a fixed price in writing before we start.
Why Scottsdale Homes Need Arizona-Experienced Painters
Arizona's extreme UV, 115°F+ summer heat, monsoon rain and low humidity create painting conditions unlike anywhere else. Paint that lasts 10+ years in the Midwest may fail in 3-4 years on a Scottsdale exterior, which is why our exterior painting in Scottsdale starts with desert-rated coatings. We use coatings formulated for desert extremes and apply them the way stucco in this climate needs.
Interior painting can run any month because the air conditioning is already on. Exterior work is planned for October through April, when a south wall will actually hold paint. Cabinet painting and HOA painting are scheduled on their own, and cracked stucco is repaired on the stucco repair visit before anyone primes.

Why Scottsdale paint
fails years early
Arizona's extreme UV, 115°F summers, monsoon rain and low humidity create painting conditions unlike anywhere else. Paint that lasts ten years in the Midwest can fail in three on a Scottsdale exterior.
We use coatings formulated for desert extremes and apply them the way years of painting Scottsdale stucco says they should be applied.
Read the Scottsdale HOA color guideSummer heat flashes paint off before it can bond, so we schedule October through April.
What a desert-rated exterior actually holds here. Standard paint gives up in three to four.
South and west exposures take the UV hit first and need the most prep before recoating.

are the whole job
Two crews can quote the same house and deliver a four year paint job or an eight year one. Here is what makes the difference.
Desert-rated exterior coatings
Dunn-Edwards and Sherwin-Williams Duration on exteriors. Standard exterior paint chalks out here in three to four years, these hold six to eight.
Crack repair before primer
Thermal cycling opens stucco every year. We patch, texture match and prime first, because prep is what separates a four year job from an eight year one.
Spray finish on cabinets
Cabinet doors come off, get degreased, sanded and sprayed for a factory-smooth finish. Brushed cabinets always read as brushed cabinets.
We paint the right season
October through April, and we work west-facing walls off the sun. Paint applied in 115°F dries before it bonds, which is why summer jobs fail early.
What changes a Scottsdale painting price
The number moves with the house. A single-story stucco home in McCormick Ranch with hairline cracks is not the same bid as a two-story with parapet walls in DC Ranch or a Paradise Valley house with a guest casita. We measure the paintable surface, count the colors in the HOA scheme and look at how much stucco has to be patched before primer.
Prep is the part a flyer never shows. Chalking paint has to come off or the new coat peels. Open cracks get filled and texture-matched on the stucco repair step. Bare stucco gets a masonry primer because repaired stucco is alkaline. Dark colors take more sun and usually more coats. The painting cost guide breaks the ranges out for interior work, exterior work and cabinets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to paint a house in Scottsdale?
A single-story exterior often falls between $3,500 and $6,000. Two-story homes often land between $6,000 and $12,000. A whole-home interior is commonly $2,500 to $8,000 and cabinet painting for a standard kitchen is commonly $3,500 to $7,000. The written estimate itemizes prep, primer and paint so the price is not a surprise on the last day.
What changes the price of house painting in Scottsdale?
Stories, stucco condition, color changes and HOA sample requirements. A single-story home with sound stucco is the low end. Two-story pop-outs, open cracks, a full color change and a guest house move the quote up. South and west walls usually need the most prep because that is where the sun chalks the old coating.
What paint brands do you recommend for Arizona?
For exteriors we primarily use Dunn-Edwards, an Arizona company that formulates for desert sun, and Sherwin-Williams Duration where we want the longest UV resistance. For interiors we use Benjamin Moore Regal Select and Sherwin-Williams Emerald. We can use another brand if you already have a scheme to match.
How long does exterior paint last in Scottsdale?
With real prep and a desert-rated coating, expect about 6 to 8 years. South and west walls take the UV first and can show wear sooner. The coating is not what separates a 4-year job from an 8-year job. Washing off chalk, filling stucco cracks, caulking and priming bare patches is what does that.
When is the best time to paint a house in Scottsdale?
October through April. Mild days, low humidity and almost no rain let the film cure. June through August is a poor time for exteriors because a wall in full sun can pass 115°F and the paint skins before it bonds. Interior painting can run all year.
Do you handle HOA color approvals?
Yes. Most Scottsdale communities want an approved color even when you are repainting the same scheme. We help you pick from the palette, put samples on the actual stucco and get the paperwork ready before anyone opens a can.
