What moves the price in 77461
Mostly one-story. Only 8% of homes in 77461 have a second story. Painters can work most walls from the ground or a short ladder, which keeps labor down compared with ZIPs where two-story homes are the norm.
Size varies a lot. The middle half of homes here runs from 1,510 to 2,740 sq ft. A home near 1,510 sq ft typically prices below this page's range; one near 2,740 sq ft above it.
Age and prep. With a typical build year around 1998, many homes here are on their second or third 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 2,000 sq ft one-story home in 77461, mostly brick with painted siding, trim and soffits: pressure wash, caulk, two coats on the painted surfaces. Labor about $2,400–$4,300.
