What moves the price in 77581
One story or two. About 42% of homes in 77581 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 1,830 to 2,840 sq ft. A home near 1,830 sq ft typically prices below this page's range; one near 2,840 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
