National cost sites answer "what does painting cost" with averages blended across 3,000 U.S. counties. None of them know that Bellingham's housing stock skews cedar, that the north wall grows moss, that the painting season is about 20 weeks long, or what a crew here charges. We know, because it's our published pricing and our real bids. So we put it all in public, methodology included, where homeowners and writers can check it.
