What does exterior house painting cost in New Jersey?
Most exterior repaints in Ocean and Monmouth County run $4,500–$12,000, set by home size, stories, siding material, and — more than anything — how much prep and repair the surface needs. A quote that looks cheap usually skipped the prep. Ours is itemized so you can see exactly what the surface work costs versus the coating.
At the shore, prep is the whole job
Salt air and relentless sun punish exterior coatings, and they find every shortcut. We scrape, sand, and spot-prime bare wood, caulk failed seams, and treat any mildew before a finish coat ever goes on. On homes near the water we spec coatings rated for coastal exposure. That’s the difference between a repaint that still looks sharp in eight years and one that’s peeling in two.
What every Paragon exterior paint job includes
- Pressure or soft wash to strip chalk, salt, and mildew so paint can bond
- Scrape, sand, and spot-prime all bare and failing areas
- Minor carpentry and caulking of failed seams and trim before coating
- Premium exterior coatings matched to your substrate (wood, fiber cement, or vinyl-safe)
- Trim, doors, and shutters cut in clean by hand
- Surfaces and landscaping protected, then a full site cleanup
- Two coats where the surface calls for it — not one thin pass
Part of a bigger refresh
Fresh paint pairs naturally with new windows, entry doors, or gutter work — doing them together means one setup, one crew, and one clean result. Current third-party financing options may be available, subject to lender disclosures, terms, and approval. Paragon is not a lender and does not guarantee approval or a particular payment. Related services: new windows, entry doors, gutter work, and financing information.
Why homeowners choose Paragon
Family-run, NJ HIC-registered (#13VH13814500), and honest about what the surface needs. We won’t coat over rot or skip prep to win on price — because at the shore, that’s exactly the paint job that fails first.

Answers for planning your project
Exterior painting and whole-home painting
This page owns exterior painting: siding, trim, doors, and other approved exterior surfaces after washing, scraping, repairs, sanding, caulking, spot priming, and protection. A project that also includes interior walls, ceilings, drywall repair, or broad refurbishment is coordinated through full-home renovation. The surfaces and preparation are priced separately so a generic Painting label does not become a duplicate page.
