"I have work with Susan on multiple projects for 10 years now and I couldn't be happier with her and her crew. This year I asked them to replace nearly all the windows on the house. Susan made great recommendation and picked out the windows, so I didn't have to do a lot of shopping around. They showed up on time and cleaned up after the work. The crew members are trust-worthy which is great for a busy professional like myself. I left the house to them in the morning and went on with my day. They locked it up at the end of the day, cleaned up construction related mess so when I got home it was as if nothing had happened, except for all the brand new windows on the wall!!! There were some minor issues with a few windows, but when I pointed them out, they fixed them right away. House repair and remodeling could be very stressful but they really made it easy, from the initial consultation to the work completion, I never have to worry about a thing, that's why I alway go with them."

We were established in 2006 through a lot of sweat, tears and 80-hour work weeks, like most small businesses. I left my cushy upper management job in corporate to take over the great business my wife had started. She had decided to make our home a happier place by learning to paint faux finishes through our home like marbled ceilings and a brick painted patio. Then the neighbors wanted them, their friends and so forth. The name "Express Yourself Paint" came from customer's expressing their unique character through faux finishes. We started out in an eight-foot utility trailer with the forty-foot ladders hanging out to infinity with red flags tied to them and a used spray gun. We looked more like the Red Neck Painters of Raleigh. Thanks to all those trusting souls who allowed us to paint for them in those early days! We came from humble beginnings, but we wanted to create a different kind of painting company. A company that is high performance, uses modern technology for communicating and scheduling making for a more satisfied customer experience while still applying paint the old fashion way...brushes, rollers and sprayers. Our desire to be different has resulted in us becoming the largest and most successful repaint company in the Triangle. All that said, we still trip over our own feet sometimes and as of yet have not discovered how to be perfect. Give us a try and we will most definitely put our best foot forward for you. We can't leave the light on for you because we are at your home painting, but we will definitely bring all the paint and the fixings. Our sincere wish for you is to experience, "The Power of Paint!"
"Amazing job my walls looked great. They were fast and top notch job."

"We did not hire Five Star Painting because we found communication with them to be VERY difficult. At first it was looking good when their estimator seemed to understand the job and promised a speedy estimate. However after receiving this estimate we found much of it to be written is some form of 'painter shorthand'. For example, it listed several categories such as: "Body Back Deck/Stairs" and "Body Siding" and under each heading what was intended to be a description of the work. BUT, these descriptions were not written in normal English and contained things like this (from the "Body Siding" category) "Paint: SW Deck Scape Stain Any S/SS/S ( 1 Coat) Labor: $ 110.75" Well, I guess that we've watched enough episodes of "The People's Court" to desire a contract that was much more clear than this and so we e-mailed them and asked if we could rephrase the critical elements of the contract into 'normal English'. In order to make this easy for them we drafted a proposed 'page' two of the estimate/contract that said things like "Side stairs & small deck: Paint stairs, riser faces, deck, pickets & hand rails with 2 coats of solid stain - same as used on front porch" and also included numbered photos to match the written description. This is when things went really bad with Five Star. At first they did not reply to our e-mail request. Then we called and talked with the son (it's a father/son owner & operated business) who agreed to change this portion of the contract as we had drafted. But after several days w/o any contact we e-mailed and called again . . . eventually talking on the phone with the father. He said that they have been doing business for many years and have never changed a contract proposal for anyone and that he wasn't about to do it for us. In our mind it would have been a very simple 'cut and paste' word processing modification to this contract that would take a couple of minutes. By the way, it's important to note that we were not requesting any actual changes to the work that was being done or any of the pricing . . . we only wanted the contract to be written in language that anyone could read and understand w/o interpretation. So there you have it. If you're Ok with a business that: 1) Does not reply to e-mail, phone calls or texts in a timely manner, 2) offers contracts that contain 'painters shorthand', 3) Is unwilling to adjust the language of this contract into standard language, and, 4) will give you mixed messages (such as the son telling us that he would modify the contract and the father saying 'no way') . . . then Five Star is for you. :-)"

With over 25 years of experience we provide quality service in painting, pressure washing, and handyman services. Thank you for your consideration.
"Narciso and his team repainted our guest bedroom, guest bathroom and did touch-ups around our house to perfection. It started out with very dark paint, and the switch to light colors required 4 coats! And they did a beautiful job. Within 24 hours of calling, Narciso came to our house. The next day, he emailed us a quote. We signed the contract and his team started painting the next morning. The cost was very reasonable, particularly in comparison to another highly rated company’s quote. We will be using them again for future jobs."

FAQs for exterior painting projects in Raleigh, NC
You should paint your home exterior every five to 10 years, on average. Climate and surroundings can affect how well paint holds up. Wood siding will likely need a fresh coat of paint every three to seven years. Paint on brick tends to last about eight to 17 years, on average.
Calculate the square footage of the area you want to paint. Divide the square footage by 350 (the average square footage a gallon of paint covers). Multiply the number of gallons you need by two, as you’ll likely be applying two coats of paint. For a more accurate estimate, subtract the square footage of the windows and doors from the initial square footage total. It’s a good idea to plan for an extra gallon of paint to make sure you have enough to finish the job.
To calculate the square footage of a home exterior, painters multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall to be painted. Then they add the total square footage for all of the walls to be painted. To calculate the price, they multiply the total square footage by their cost per square foot to prep and paint. Additional costs may factor in such as repairs, additional trim, and walls higher than the first story.
The cost to paint the exterior of a house ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.
You should apply at least two coats of paint when painting the exterior of your house. Two coats of paint provides better durability and more even coverage than just one coat.
