Why booking both together costs less

A contractor pricing two separate jobs carries two lots of mobilisation: quoting, scheduling and getting a crew to your address twice rather than once. Combined, that overhead happens once, paint is bought in a larger quantity, and a crew already on site for the interior has no gap to price around before starting the exterior. It is reasonable to ask for a combined price below the two quoted separately, in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater or anywhere else.
