Luzberto offered a very fair price to paint the exterior of our home. I am very pleased with the outcome. and would recommend him for business. He had his painter work with our schedule and can't say enough about our project. I will be calling him for inside painting next year.

Tim was responsive, honest, and much more legitimate and professional than other painters I talked to. He seems like the guy to call for a paint job that will actually last. We needed something more temporary and went with another contractor, but Tim really impressed me.

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

Though it depends on the exact type, most paint lacquers only take about 15 to 30 minutes to dry. However, you’ll want to wait at least four hours before applying another coat and anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks before polishing.

In some cases, expensive, premium paint brands are better than their budget paint brand competitors, but that isn’t always the case. BEHR® and PPG Paint® companies are moderately priced and still offer great coverage and durability. What’s more, each paint brand offers a variety of paint lines—each with its own pros and cons.

Options include matte, satin, and semi-gloss finishes. Choose based on room use and desired look.

A single coat of primer is almost always sufficient. This is especially true if you’re painting over a smooth surface with minimal to no flaws.
