Keep in mind that most painters charge by the hour, and the more work there is to be done, the higher the overall costs will be. If your home needs more extensive work, however, such as making significant repairs to the siding or stucco, or if there is a lot of delicate trim that needs to be worked around, you could have higher costs, up to an additional $15 an hour for this work. So, while the above prep work is usually included in the hourly cost of roughly $50 per hour per painter, you can expect costs to climb to an average of $65 per hour per painter for work such as repairing or patching holes, repairing or replacing trim, and installing new caulk or putty around windows and doors.
