"Spent way more time painting my house than any previous painters, very thorough and the 4 guys were great. Didn't realize how badly my house needed to be painted until they did the prep work. They spent more time on the prep than actual painting which if you are doing the job right is the way it should be."

"Great company! We dealt with Greg who was super easy to work with and provided advice and a full paint book for me to decide my colors. He worked within our budget and communicated throughout the whole process. Zero surprises! Work took 3 guys about 5 days on brick and detail trim work. Also replaced some rotted pieces of wood that were part of trim and porch. Very impressed with the quality and final result. I am a perfectionist and I could not find one mistake they made on the whole house! Would definitely hire again."

Creektrace Painting Services, LLC was founded in 2019, but my experience in painting began in 2004. Over the past 20 years, I have been dedicated to ensuring the hundreds of customers we've helped are educated about the Painting Process, from prep to finish. We take the mystery out of the project, and our team is dedicated to getting your Home/Business back to beautiful.

"Can’t rave enough about the work Creektrace Painting has done at our house! Evan Katt and his crew of quality painters are worthy of your trust. They did an excellent job painting our wrap around front porch, back porch, chimney and all the wood trim on the house. On time each day, friendly, worked hard and finished quickly. The house looked brand new! And all for a very fair price. I’m having them back early next year to do the full interior. Get us on the schedule Evan!"

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Most bathroom walls will require two coats of paint, as this ensures proper coverage. If you’re painting over a darker color with a lighter color, you may need additional coats. If you’re just refreshing with the same shade, one coat of paint is usually fine. It’s a good idea to put down one to two coats of primer before painting to ensure the best results. This can also cut down on the need for additional coats if you’re painting over a darker color.

Priming stucco before painting is not an absolute requirement, but applying a primer coat is recommended. Primer is designed to serve as a strong bonding agent between the stucco surface and the outer paint layers. Using a primer can also help produce even coverage and color for a better-looking final product.

Latex paint is one of the best paint types for textured walls. This water-based paint is fast-drying and has low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safer and more convenient for painting walls that require several coats of paint. 

If you’re painting exterior walls, you can also consider using oil-based paint, but keep in mind that it takes much longer to dry and can slow your project down considerably.

It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs $320 to $820 when applied by a pro, while paint only costs $200 to $700 per room. However, when comparing wallpaper versus paint, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.

It’s a matter of personal preference on whether you want to tip the crew or the lead painter. You can tip the crew as a whole, just the lead painter, or each individual painter. Do what feels right in the context of the job.
