Availing the services of a professional can spare you unnecessary trouble and ensure first-rate results. Apart from enhancing your property's street appeal, painting also strengthens the resistance of your home's exterior parts against environmental elements.
What do you do before you paint my home?
Our crew utilizes high-pressure washing to eradicate all grime, debris, mildew, and other contaminants from the surface to get it ready for high-grade paint. We meticulously scrutinize every corner and crevice to ensure that the surface is aptly prepared for our exterior painting services. We also caulk all open gaps and seams around windows and doors to ensure that your house is protected from water intrusion and the elements. All wood rot is also repaired to make your home look new again, and as well as protect from the elements.
What steps do you take to prepare my surface for exterior home painting?
Your property is as valuable to us as our own. We strategically lay out drop cloths over the ground near your house, plants, and other outdoor areas to restrict the paint application only to the walls and exterior finishes. If you possess movable outdoor structures or furniture, give us a nod, and we'll promptly handle it for you.
Are there guidelines to follow when selecting colors?
Paint color is an art, so there is never a wrong choice. If choosing colors becomes a nightmare, we are here for you. We offer free color consultations. Some of the fundamental principles we follow when choosing color include the following:
- Consider the existing elements and colors of your home, such as roofing materials and trim elements.
- Keep in mind the neighboring homes or structures.
- Adhere to HOA required colors.
- Respect the architectural aesthetics of your home.
How much time is required to completely paint a home from scratch?

How durable is a paint job?
For exterior projects, we advise that wooden elements are painted every five to ten years, while stained features are recoated every three years.
