It’s a three story brick Victorian, using the different colors to accent different parts of the exterior. $50 dollars wouldn’t get you up to the trim under the roof.
You get what you pay for. It was freshly painted when we bought it, and the paint started falling off almost as soon as we moved in.
Back when we got it painted we got estimates from 13 different companies. Lowest estimate back then was $9000. We asked everyone how long they guaranteed their work for. 12 companies said you can’t guarantee paint jobs because sun and weather can cause them to fail.
The remaining guy was the most expensive, but he guaranteed his work for 8 years. His paint job lasted more than 15 years before it started to wear out.
Of course, it’s almost been 30 years now, and it’s in pretty bad shape. I wish I had the money to fix it up, but we also raised three kids and put them through college in between.
