If you’re planning to refresh the outside of your home, one of the most common questions homeowners ask is:

“How much does it cost to paint a 2,000 square foot house?”

In the Las Vegas and Henderson area, the average cost to paint the exterior of a 2,000 sq. ft. home typically ranges from $4,500 to $8,500, depending on the home’s condition, level of prep, and the type of paint used. Exterior painting is more involved than interior painting, so understanding what goes into the price can help you plan your project confidently.

What Determines the Price of Exterior Painting?

1. Condition of the Stucco or Siding

Las Vegas homes often have stucco exteriors, and stucco can develop fading, cracking, efflorescence, and hairline fractures over time.

Light prep (minor cracks and patching) keeps the cost lower.
Heavy prep (large cracks, failing texture, or repairs around windows) will increase the price.

2. Number of Stories

A two-story home requires ladders, scaffolding, and additional safety setup. This increases labor time compared to a single-story home.

3. Quality of Paint and Materials

High-quality exterior paints—especially elastomeric coatings—last longer under the intense Las Vegas sun. Better paint costs more upfront but provides better durability and fade resistance.

4. Masking & Prep Work

Exterior painting requires extensive protection of windows, concrete, rooflines, doors, fixtures, and landscaping. Homes with many windows or architectural details require more time and materials.

5. Color Changes or Multiple Colors

Painting with multiple accent colors or making a dramatic color change requires additional coats and labor.

Typical Price Range for a 2,000 Sq. Ft. Home in Las Vegas

Based on recent exterior painting projects in Las Vegas, here is what most homeowners can expect:

Basic repaint (light stucco prep): $4,500 – $6,000
Standard repaint (moderate prep + 2 coats): $6,000 – $7,500
High-end repaint (extensive prep + premium paint): $7,500 – $8,500+

This includes:

✔ Power washing

✔ Stucco patching (standard)

✔ Caulking cracks and gaps

✔ Masking windows, doors, and walkways

✔ Two coats of high-quality exterior paint

✔ Cleanup and walkthrough inspection

How Long Does Exterior Paint Last in Las Vegas?

Due to the extreme heat, sun exposure, and wind, exterior paint lasts 6–10 years on average in Southern Nevada—shorter if cheaper paint is used or prep work is skipped. Premium coatings can last longer.
