What moves the price in 77623
Mostly one-story. Only 7% of homes in 77623 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.
Similar-sized homes. Most homes here are close in size (middle half 1,060–1,800 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 1997, 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 1,360 sq ft one-story home in 77623, brick and siding with painted trim and soffits: pressure wash, caulk, two coats on the painted surfaces. Labor about $1,900–$3,500. 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.
