What moves the price in 77356
One story or two. About 45% of homes in 77356 are two-story, so two neighbors on the same street can get very different quotes. If yours is one story, expect the lower half of the range; a two-story of the same size usually lands in the upper half.
Size varies a lot. The middle half of homes here runs from 1,790 to 3,080 sq ft. A home near 1,790 sq ft typically prices below this page's range; one near 3,080 sq ft above it.
Age and prep. With a typical build year around 2003, many homes here are on their first or second repaint. Expect the painter to budget for scraping, caulk and a few spots of wood rot on trim; rot repair isn't in the range above and is usually quoted per board.
Worked example
A 2,300 sq ft one-story home in 77356, brick and siding with painted trim and soffits: pressure wash, caulk, two coats on the painted surfaces. Labor about $2,600–$4,500. Wood rot repair, a color change from dark to light, and paint itself are on top. That's a planning number, not a quote; a painter will confirm after seeing the house.
