"Generations Custom Homes completely rebuilt and redesigned two very large decks and one small one so I could get my house on Mount Desert ready to sale. Ricky Sprague, the owner, was very fair with his estimates, kept me apprised of progress or setbacks, and worked with me to keep costs down. The crew was wonderful and worked long hours to make sure the work was done, as promised, with two months. The decks look elegant and impressive and beautifully built. It was a pleasure to work with people who cared about quality and their reputation. I cannot recommend them highly enough. "

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Painting over mold is not an effective solution and can actually make the problem worse. Instead, it traps moisture, which allows mold to grow and spread beneath the surface. Mold must be completely removed before painting to ensure the problem doesn’t recur. If mold is painted over, it may eventually seep through the new layer of paint, causing discoloration and peeling.

Dirty or not, you should always clean the wall beforehand. Even if the wall looks sparkling clean to the naked eye, it’s good practice to wipe it down with a damp rag and mild detergent. Leftover dirt, dust, and residue can create unsightly textures or interfere with the paint’s adherence to the wall. You’ll never regret cleaning it, but you might regret skipping this step.

The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn’t the way the paint looks or performs—it’s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out—like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.

Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.

Because satin paint has a sheen to it, it will highlight curves and contours. While that’s great for trim, it’s not so excellent for your repaired drywall that has a few small blemishes. In addition, satin paint will stick to your surface better if it’s primed. Sand and prime your surface before applying satin paint for best results.
