Claim this spot › What the scorecard measures
Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over a thousand reviews counts for more than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.
What drives painting prices in Austin in 2026
No prices appear in the reviews or sites, and the reviews give no dependable totals, so there is no cost table. Price follows the square footage, the number of stories, how much prep and repair the surfaces need, whether trim, cabinets or siding are included, and the paint you choose. Get at least two written estimates that spell out prep, coats and cleanup.
