Exterior Painting Service

Before we start all exterior paint jobs on houses built before 1978, we test for lead paint. If your house does in fact have lead paint, then you have a few options. By law, the neighborhood will have to be notified about lead work. Lead paint can either be scraped off (most cost effective) or sanded down (time consuming and costly). Discuss your options further by calling us using the phone number listed above.

In short, no. We will replace a few boards at a time. For larger jobs involving building or dismantling decks, we can put you in touch with a carpentry company. 

Luckily, the invention of paint sprayers has dramatically reduced the time it takes to repaint a house. Typically houses take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending the the size of the house and the priority of a project.

Most paints will last somewhere in the range of 10-12 years. You can increase the longevity of the paint job by priming your house with oil based paint. Oil based paint cures instead of drying, so it will add an extra week onto your project. Oil paint may cost more as well due to the amount of chemicals found in the paint which pose a danger to our employees. 

Any house over two stories tall will require special equipment. At the moment, two stories is our maximum height. 

In order for paint to cure properly, the minimum temperature outside must exceed 32 degrees F. Typically this season runs from March until November, although it does not strictly follow this timeline.
