Size varies a lot. The middle half of homes here runs from 1,740 to 3,200 sq ft. A home near 1,740 sq ft typically prices below this page's range; one near 3,200 sq ft above it.

Worked example
A 2,300 sq ft one-story home in 77485, mostly brick with painted siding, trim and soffits: pressure wash, caulk, two coats on the painted surfaces. Labor about $4,000–$7,800. 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.
