Frequently Asked Questions

I need my house painted, but I also have some termite and dry-rot damage. Can you fix it?

Yes. We can usually repair or replace any wood which has been damaged by termites or dry-rot.

How often should my house be painted?

Well, it all depends. There are a lot of contributing factors that determine how long paint lasts. Poorly prepared surfaces will crack and peel. Darker colors will fade. Older wood will not hold paint like new wood. Also, the quality of paint used on past jobs can be one of these contributing factors. The best advice is to paint before the exterior looks and gets damaged. The majority of the time spent on painting exteriors is in preparing the surface, sanding, patching, etc. If you set a time frame of every 4-6 years, there will be less time spent on this prep work than if you wait for every 8-10 years. It's also smart to touch up the problem areas as often as every 1 to 2 years. Maintaining your paint job will keep your home always looking beautiful and at its best, AND it also will reduce the risk of termites, dry-rot, and other expensive problems that come from neglect.

What color do you recommend for my home's exterior?

The color you choose depends on your taste. Pick colors that best suit the style of your home. For example, if you have a Cape Cod style home, Northwestern colors will look better on that exterior than, let's say, Spanish Colonial style colors would. Since dark colors fade more quickly than lighter colors, we suggest you keep these to a minimum. Dark colors are always best as accent tones for the interior or exterior, doors, shutters, etc.
