Q: Can you paint over old exterior paint?

• <div><p>For optimal results, sand the exterior of your home and apply a primer coat before painting. These steps will help the new paint stick to your home&rsquo;s surface and will help the paint last longer. Pro tip: Some paint brands offer more expensive options that combine paint and primer into one product.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over old paint?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll often have picture-perfect results by painting over the old color. However, if you&rsquo;re transitioning from a dark wall color to a light one, you&rsquo;ll want to use a primer first to save yourself from applying multiple coats for coverage. Also, if you&rsquo;re moving from an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-paints-latex-vs-acrylic.htm">oil-based paint</a> to a water-based one and vice versa, you&rsquo;ll want to use a primer. Don&rsquo;t forget to spackle over any holes or dents before adding your new paint color.</p></div>

Q: Can you wait too long between coats of paint?

• <div><p>No&mdash;if you complete a full coat of paint, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-painting-techniques-make-walls-stand-out.htm">painting techniques</a> like cutting in and rolling, you could wait weeks or months between coats if you wanted. For best results, sand the first coat and clean the wall before applying the second.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint hurricane shutters?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint certain types of hurricane shutters, like Bahama or colonial shutters. However, hurricane shutters made from rollable or foldable aluminum or metal may need to be stripped and primed before applying a fresh coat of paint, so keep that in mind if you&rsquo;re looking for a certain aesthetic with your hurricane shutters.</p></div>

Q: How to paint high up without a ladder?

• <div><p>You may be able to paint a high ceiling without a ladder if you have an extension pole that reaches high enough. Some extension poles have telescoping handles, allowing you to adjust the pole's length without needing to swap it out. Another option is to use a scaffold to reach high areas.</p></div>

Our experienced and well-trained personnel have years of roofing experience. We handle all types of roofing conditions or requests from a small leak to a complete, comprehensive roofing system. Knowing when to restore, repair or install a new roof system and what type of roofing material is an important decision. Your PI Roofing professional will assist you in choosing the appropriate product and installation technique.

"In 2024, I spent about $20,000 with PI Roofing on a new roof and fascia repair. Within six months an area where they replaced the fascia detached from my house. This spring my roof has a leak. During the quote phase, they told me they'd haul off an old TV antenna. (It is still here). After the job was finished there were roofing materials left in my driveway. (I had to call to get those picked up). When I signed this contract, my Dad made fun of me for spending so much. I thought it would be worth it because of the warranty. I was even excited about the promised roof checkup they provide free in the first year, but it turns out you will not get the free checkup unless you demand it. And the warranty doesn't cover all that much. I have dealt with some very nice people at this company and have avoided writing a negative review for quite some time, but the bottom line is I cannot recommend this company. I have to believe there are better roofing businesses in the area."
