Questions and answers
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?
A.) A good rule is 2-4 weeks prior to the date you want your
paint job completed by. During the busy season April through Oct is best to schedule early. Booking 4-6 weeks in
advance is recommended during the peak months of May, June, and July. Also scheduling early gives you extra time to decide
on your painting color choices.
Q.) I need a house painting estimate on a weekend
is that a problem?
A.) No problem we have weekend and evening painting appointments
available.
Q.) Do I need to be home for a painting estimate?
A.) It
is best to be home for any painting estimate. To go over what type of painting you are wanting, (interior painting,
exterior painting, etc.)with your house painter and so there is no confusion about the paint job. You will need to be
home for any interior painting estimates, however you may not need to be home for an exterior painting estimate. Your
house painter can examine the exterior paint and condition of your home with no one home. If your not home you will
need to go over any painting details at a later time with your house painter, so nothing will be missed at
that time. Always make sure to note all painting and preparation concerns, so both you and your painter are aware.
