"Ortolani & Sons painted our house and did some carpentry to replace rotted wood and shingles. Throughout the process, Chris kept me updated and was always available to answer my questions and point out what needed to be done. The prep work was very thorough. Chris's attention to detail such as securing and painting wires as well as cleaning and painting the rod iron railings enhanced the final result. The house looks great. I highly recommend Ortolani & Sons for your painting needs."

"I have never had a house painted before, so I did not have anything very specific in mind other than to paint the exterior with the existing (or similar) colors. While assessing the job, Mateus (the owner) pointed out a lot of additional details to think about, such as carpentry work for rotted boards, trim color (he pointed out how the trim was not painted in a consistent color scheme), and he suggested that the foundation and bulkhead door should also be painted. He also helped us with selecting colors that blend well together. A last minute addition was to replace and paint the stairs (treads and risers) to our enclosed deck, as those were also rotting, During the job, Mateus was there with his crew every day (non-rainy) as early as possible, and stayed until dark, until the job was completed. At all times the team seemed to work quite efficiently, and were very polite and pleasant. All along the way, Mateus helped us understand the steps of the required work, answered all the questions we had, and provided great guidance when we needed to make a decision, such color selection and material choices for replacing trim boards. My wife and I are delighted with the results (it looks like a new house). Pricing was very fair. I would hire this company again, and would have no trouble recommending them."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

One gallon of paint covers about 400 square feet. Assuming that you have four equal walls that are 8 feet high, a 12x12 room will need one gallon of paint per coat. The number of coats you need will depend on the condition of the wall and whether you’re painting over an existing color or starting fresh.

It’s okay to paint over wood paneling, but you should be sure to use a primer first. You may also need to sand it before painting, depending on the paneling’s condition. Painting your wood paneling can give it a fresh look and make your room feel new.

No—if you complete a full coat of paint, including painting techniques 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.

Taking the time to properly prepare your tile backsplash before painting and treating it with care afterward is the best way to ensure its longevity. While the tile can last for the life of the home, you may have to repaint it after a few years. However, using only mild cleanser and water to keep it clean can maximize the paint's lifespan.

Yes, you can use paint if you want to refresh your tile countertops. However, you must be mindful of the type of paint you use. Look for options explicitly created for tile that are also waterproof and durable. Over time, the paint will chip, so this is not considered a long-term solution for busy kitchens.
