FAQs

What is better: oil or latex paint?2023-08-15T06:55:57-07:00

Latex paints are more environmentally friendly than oil-based paints, which often give off fumes. Latex primers and finishes have come a long way over the years and are very durable. For example, a latex finish on an exterior painting job will last for many years and remain elastic, whereas oil-based paint dries to a hard and brittle film. Latex paint will move with the surface as it expands and contracts with weather.

How do I know if I have lead paint in my home?2023-08-15T06:55:36-07:00

There’s really no way to tell just by looking at it. You can have a painter come in and assess the situation or purchase a lab test from your local hardware store to find out. In general, if your house was built before 1978, chances are it has lead paint in it.

How can I prepare for the interior painters?2023-08-15T06:57:42-07:00

We ask that you remove furniture in the room when possible. If that is not possible, we will place tarps over the furniture to protect it. Please remove all wall hangings so that all walls are bare and ready for our arrival. And lastly, please make sure there is a clear path for our painters with no obstacles.

What if lead paint is detected in my home?2023-08-15T06:55:06-07:00

There are certain guidelines and procedures set by the EPA that we follow in regards to removing lead paint. From sanding to bagging up the paint chips for proper disposal, you can be sure we follow all guidelines for the safe removal of lead paint from your home.

How long will my exterior painting job last?2023-08-15T06:57:19-07:00

In general, exterior paint jobs last between five and 10 years. Stucco lasts the longest; wood expands and contracts with the weather, which loosens the paint sooner. We recommend not waiting until the paint is peeling off your home, as this will cost you more in preparation time and labor, especially if wood rot is present.
