How much does exterior painting cost in Arlington, TN?

Most Arlington exterior projects range from $3,000 to $5,500 for a single-story home and $4,500 to $8,500 for a two-story home. Trim-only work typically runs $1,200 to $2,500. Cost depends on the size of the home, the number of stories, siding type, and the amount of prep work required. We provide a free, detailed written estimate before any work begins.

How long does an exterior painting project take in Arlington?

A typical single-story home takes 3 to 4 days, including prep, priming, and two finish coats. A larger two-story home may take 5 to 7 days. Weather conditions can affect the schedule, and we will communicate any adjustments in advance. We do not rush the prep or the drying time between coats, because cutting those steps short is the most common cause of premature peeling.

Do you repair damaged wood or siding before painting Arlington homes?

We handle minor repairs, caulking, and scraping as part of our standard prep on every Arlington exterior. If there is significant rot or structural damage, we will identify it during the estimate so it can be addressed by a carpenter before we paint. Painting over damaged wood shortens the life of the finish significantly. We prefer to flag these issues early rather than cover them up, because a well-prepared surface is the foundation of a long-lasting exterior paint job.

What type of exterior paint do you use in Arlington?

We use premium, weather-resistant exterior paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, selected for their adhesion, fade resistance, and mildew resistance. The specific product depends on the substrate (wood, brick, fiber cement, etc.) and the color choice.

Do you serve all of Arlington, TN?

Yes. We serve all neighborhoods in Arlington, including the historic town center, Donelson Farms, the Airline Road corridor, Walker Station Road, and the newer developments near the Fayette County line. We also serve nearby Lakeland, Bartlett, and Collierville.

How long does an exterior paint job last in Arlington's climate?

A properly prepared and painted exterior in Arlington, TN should last 8 to 12 years before it needs repainting. The key variables are the quality of the prep work, the quality of the paint, and how much direct sun exposure the surfaces receive. South and west-facing walls typically show wear first. We use premium exterior paints rated for 10-plus years and back our work with a 5-year written warranty.

ARLINGTON'S EXTERIOR PAINTING SPECIALISTS

Exterior Painting Done Right in Arlington

From the historic homes near Arlington Town Center to the newer builds along the Airline Road corridor and in Donelson Farms, Arlington exteriors face the full force of Tennessee summers and wet winters. Humidity, UV exposure, and temperature swings break down paint faster than in many other climates, which means proper surface preparation is not optional. Middleton Painting handles siding, trim, fascia, soffits, brick, and stucco with the kind of thorough prep that makes a finish last 8 to 12 years rather than 3 to 5. Whether you need a complete exterior repaint or are just refreshing your trim and shutters, our exterior painting contractor team delivers a finish that holds up. If you are also updating your kitchen while the crew is on site, our Arlington cabinet painting service pairs well with an exterior project.

Our process starts before a single brush touches your home. We power wash every surface to remove dirt, mildew, and chalky oxidation, then scrape loose paint and sand rough edges so the new coat bonds properly. Caulking around windows, doors, and trim seals out moisture at the joints where water most often intrudes. Bare wood and patched areas receive a dedicated exterior primer before the finish coats go on. Neighboring homeowners trust us for exterior painting in Bartlett and Lakeland exterior painting, and the same standards apply to every project we take on in Arlington. We use premium exterior paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, chosen for their adhesion and fade resistance in the Tennessee climate.

Free On-Site Consultation

We visit your Arlington home, assess the siding, trim, and any areas of concern, and provide a detailed written estimate with no obligation.

Power Wash and Clean

We wash the entire exterior to remove dirt, mildew, algae, and chalky oxidation so the new paint bonds to a clean surface.

Scrape, Sand and Repair

We scrape all loose and peeling paint, sand rough edges smooth, and caulk gaps around windows, doors, and trim to seal out moisture.

Prime Bare Surfaces

Any bare wood, patched areas, or surfaces with staining receive a quality exterior primer coat for maximum adhesion and durability.

Why Arlington Homeowners Choose Us

Arlington's Trusted Exterior Painters

Exterior painting is one of the most visible investments you can make in your home, and it is also one of the most technically demanding. The difference between a finish that peels in two years and one that protects your home for a decade comes down to prep, product selection, and application technique. Over 15 years of Memphis-area work, we have refined an exterior process that addresses each of those factors. We scrape and sand more thoroughly than most contractors, prime every bare surface, and apply two full coats of premium paint rather than a single heavy coat.

We work on homes throughout Arlington, from the established neighborhoods near Walker Station Road and Highway 70 to the newer developments closer to the Fayette County line. Our crews communicate clearly about schedules, protect your landscaping and hardscape, and clean up at the end of every day. If you also want to update your garage while we are on site, we offer Arlington epoxy garage floors to complete the exterior transformation. Ready to get started? Request a free estimate and we will schedule a visit within 48 hours.

We also believe in honest, transparent communication throughout every project. Before we start, we walk the property with you to identify any areas of concern, discuss color options, and set a clear timeline. During the project, you will always know which day we are arriving and what we plan to accomplish. After the final coat dries, we do a full walkthrough together so you can point out anything that needs a touch-up before we pack up. That level of attention is why Arlington homeowners refer us to their neighbors, and why so many of our projects come from repeat customers who trusted us with their interior work first.

"Great job all around. Had my kitchen repainted and they stayed ahead of their projected schedule. Even took a last minute backsplash addition and turned out fantastic. They had no problem coming back out the next day after completion to do a couple of touch ups. They will be my recommendation to others looking for similar jobs."

We highly recommend Middleton Painting."

"Communications were awesome. Ran into several weeks delay due to all the recent rain. They were very prompt in keeping me updated. They fell in the middle of the estimates I got but my gut said to go with Middleton. They did an excellent job. I had several rotten boards that needed replacing and several Hardie Planks that were cracked and needed replacing. I highly recommend them."
