Independent painting is a dream brought to life. Years of building experience to finally be able to show the world what I have to offer. My experience is not limited. I am always open to learning more as I grow my business and I always do my best to keep morale up to maintain a work environment that anyone could appreciate. One unique thing that sets me apart from the rest is my mix of height and coordination allows for me to go above and beyond to get to the hard to reach spots in a safe manner. My work includes both interior and exteriors, caulking, texturing, window glazing, cutting/rolling walls, spraying ceilings, painting/staining trim, cabinets, and doors, as well as any furniture, decor, etc. I find most painting work to be very gratifying to get to do and I'm also not afraid of a good challenge and the sense of accomplishment that goes with getting the job done, no matter the difficulty level of the task at hand.

"I recently had Austin paint my great room, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Not only did he do an incredible job, but he was also extremely friendly, professional, and organized throughout the entire process. He kept everything clean and made sure every detail was just right. One of the things I appreciated most was his helpfulness in recommending colors—his insight made such a difference, and I absolutely love how everything turned out. If you're looking for a skilled and dependable painter, I highly recommend Austin. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him for my next painting project!"

"I am still in shock. We paid Justin in cash. $500.00. When I saw his work, I asked my husband when he was to return to finish. He said, "He's done." My contractor that was there doing another project, looked at the bedroom and said it would be nice when it was finished. Unfortunately, it was finished. I don't even know where to begin. Streaks showing through irregular brush strokes. Drips on to baseboard. Justin lied to us and said he had applied three coats of paint, but obviously he had not. My husband and I spent many hours over the weekend completely starting over and re-painting the job. Justin did not return our calls or hold himself accountable for the atrocious work he performed. It was obvious he wanted quick cash. He did not honour my concerns what so ever and lied to us over various things. I am left with the feeling that Justin needed fast cash and didn't invest himself professionally in the work. Not his house, doesn't care. I trusted him and feel deceived. PLEASE do yourself a favour and do not let this person touch any wall in your home unless you are prepared to redo the entire project yourself at your expense or hire a real professional. This is the worst work I have ever seen. He did nothing to make retribution. He did not apologize. He lied and said my husband approved of his work upon completion of the project. My husband paid him cash in the parking lot and did not get the opportunity to have an inspection. He did nothing with the trim work and said that he "doesn't do trim work. No one does." Except that he did not mention that during our initial interview. I rue the day I met this thief and unfortunately, it makes me question Angie's list and all people that profess themselves professional. When I can do a better job than the professionals, you know they are suspect. BEWARE of Justin Nolting!!!!"

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

If you’re choosing a finish with less enamel, it will be difficult to cover without a little extra elbow grease. Sand a layer of the satin paint off first before going in with the eggshell finish. That way, the eggshell paint will have a better chance of adhering to the surface and will likely last longer.

Yes, you can paint over already painted metal, but—before painting—you’ll want to use sandpaper on the area to achieve a rough surface. This helps prevent the paint from peeling or flaking. Remove damaged paint with 120-grit sandpaper. If the paint is in good condition, use 240-grit sandpaper. Brush off any dust before applying the primer. 

In some cases, you may be able to skip the primer and paint over old paint. If you’re painting over paint that’s in good condition and is a similar color and finish to the new paint, you probably don’t need to use primer. If the old paint is dark or uneven or the wall has stains or damage, you’ll want to apply primer before a new coat of paint.

The typical paint job includes all necessary prep work, one or more coats of paint as specified by the contract, and cleanup. The total price quoted will account for labor, materials, and tax. Your painter should also conduct a home assessment to provide an accurate quote, a painting schedule, and a walkthrough once the job is complete.
