What moves the price in 77477
One story or two. About 38% of homes in 77477 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.
Similar-sized homes. Most homes here are close in size (middle half 1,700–2,400 sq ft), so the typical-home range is a fair guide for most of the ZIP. Siding share, trim detail and repairs move it more than size.
Age and prep. With a typical build year around 1982, 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 2,020 sq ft one-story home in 77477, mostly brick with painted siding, trim and soffits: pressure wash, caulk, two coats on the painted surfaces. Labor about $2,700–$4,800. 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.
