Exterior paint costs in Provo

In Utah Valley, where your house sits on the slope can change your painting season. On clear nights, cold air drains down to the valley floor while the foothills and benches stay warmer, as Utah's climate record explains. It adds that the growing season can differ by two weeks within the same valley, between the bottomlands and the land at the foot of the mountains. So a bench house above Provo may get a longer run of frost-free painting weather than a home down near the lake.

The houses here are young. More than half were built this century, and the median home dates to 2002. Inside Provo's city limits, though, more than four in ten predate 1980, and on a house from before 1978 a paid crew needs lead-safe training to disturb the old paint. On a stucco house, filling hairline cracks before the color goes on is a big part of a good job. On fiber cement, the main work is usually cleaning, re-caulking joints and fresh coats.
