House Painting Frequently Asked Questions
Q.) How do I know when it is time to repaint my home or business exterior?
A.) When your home’s exterior paint starts to fade is the best time to repaint. A typical paint job should last 5 to 10 years with many external contributing factors, varying the painting time frame. Depending on where you live, the climate, humidity, and weather conditions also effect the duration of your home paint job. More advanced signs of needing to paint are small cracks, flaking paint, and peeling paint. If left untreated this could lead to more serious problems with your home’s painted exterior where wood could become damaged and then other more serious repairs will be needed. You can always consult a professional painter to evaluate your home’s exterior painting needs.
Q.) What happens if my exterior paint is peeling and cracking?
A.) It is time to repaint, depending on the severity of the peeling paint and cracking paint. The longer paint is left to peel and crack the more chances the unpainted wood may deteriorate, and need replaced. Most damage is hidden from view behind the lose paint and continues to worsen with the length of time it is left untreated. You should consult a professional painter to evaluate your home’s exterior painting needs.
Q) Should I do the prep work myself before the painter comes to my home?
A) No, it is not necessary, when your painter estimates your home, he will factor all of the painting prep work needed. Unless you have experience in the field, it is best left to the professional painter you have hired. The prep work does change your bid somewhat, but the cost you save yourself, from having to repair or replace a second time, is well worth it.
Q.) When is it too cold to paint my exterior?
A.) It is not recommended to paint below 40-45 degrees. There are special paints available for colder weather painting if painting must be done in colder temperatures. You should consult a professional painter to evaluate your home’s painted exterior.
Q.) How soon should I call in advance to get my painting project completed by the date I need?
