house painting

Brushwork on walls

House painting is the work of applying paint to the interior or exterior surfaces of buildings.

The term covers both the professional trade and the DIY weekend project: We're hiring someone for the house painting.

It also distinguishes residential work from artistic painting—a house painter covers walls, not canvases.
