We are a locally owned and operated fully Licensed, Interior, and Exterior Painting company. We strive for excellence and provide the best for our clients. We also offer wallpaper install, wallpaper removal, stucco as well as cleaning services.
"I usually do not write reviews because most contractors that I have worked with over the years will tell you one thing but deliver something else. I got three quotes but Brian's was the least expensive. I hired Brian to redo my swirl patterned ceilings which were in disrepair. He clearly explained the process and promised me brand new ceilings. His workers showed up before the scheduled time, prepared the area, and left my house as found. I could not be happier with the work that Brian delivered. As a result, I asked Brian to paint the area and that was perfectly done. Brian is now the person I will call for all future painting jobs. I have no reservation in recommendation Kennedy Painting to anyone in need of a painter."

Exterior painting services FAQs
You should paint your home exterior every five to 10 years, on average. Climate and surroundings can affect how well paint holds up. Wood siding will likely need a fresh coat of paint every three to seven years. Paint on brick tends to last about eight to 17 years, on average.
Calculate the square footage of the area you want to paint. Divide the square footage by 350 (the average square footage a gallon of paint covers). Multiply the number of gallons you need by two, as you’ll likely be applying two coats of paint. For a more accurate estimate, subtract the square footage of the windows and doors from the initial square footage total. It’s a good idea to plan for an extra gallon of paint to make sure you have enough to finish the job.
To calculate the square footage of a home exterior, painters multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall to be painted. Then they add the total square footage for all of the walls to be painted. To calculate the price, they multiply the total square footage by their cost per square foot to prep and paint. Additional costs may factor in such as repairs, additional trim, and walls higher than the first story.
The cost to paint the exterior of a house ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.
You should apply at least two coats of paint when painting the exterior of your house. Two coats of paint provides better durability and more even coverage than just one coat.
