Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no easy way to answer this question as there are many contributing factors towards how long paint lasts. Darker color will fade. Poorly prepared surfaces will crack and peel. Older weathered wood won’t hold paint like new wood. These as well as the quality of paint used on past jobs are all contributing factors.

The best answer is to paint before it’s gets too bad. The majority of the time spent on exterior painting is in surface preparation, sanding, patching, etc. If you paint every 4-6 years, there will be less time spent on the prep work than if you paint every 10-15 years. Maintaining your paint job will not only keep your home always looking its best; it will also reduce the risk of dry- rot and other costly problems that come from neglect.

This topic could cover several pages, but the simple answer is that not all painters do the same type of job. If you were to get your car painted you would find prices ranging from $99.00 to several thousands of dollars. House painting is quite similar. There are many different levels of quality and service available; however, it is very difficult to know exactly what you will be getting. Assuming that all of your estimates are from reputable licensed and insured contractors, the major difference in prices are often directly related to the amount of surface preparation your painter will perform before the paint is applied. Surface preparation, when done right, is very detailed and time-consuming work which can take as much as 75% of the time required for the entire job. Since much of the “prep” work gets covered up once the surface is painted, this is the area where many painters can and will cut corners. You only need to understand simple math to realize that when painters cut the amount of time spent on your job, they can offer you a lower price. If you are dealing with a painter which you know nothing about, make sure you get a detailed list (in writing) of what he is going to do for you rather than making your decision based on a price written on the back of a business card.

No, not if your house has been painted before. On the exterior of your home, you need to use a sealer after all preparations; then the paint goes on over that. When painting the interior, you might want to put one coat of a gray primer below the final paint if you are painting over a very dark color.
