How long does paint last?

• <div><p>Most exterior paints last between <b>five and 10</b> <b>years</b>. Your region’s climate and the quality of the primer and paint influence the total longevity. Additionally, the surface you paint over impacts your lifespan, as wood needs more frequent recoats than brick. </p><p>Most interior paint jobs can last anywhere between <b>three to 10 years</b>, depending on your lifestyle. If you have small children or pets that make the walls messy, you might need to repaint on the earlier side. However, if you have a quiet home, you can get several years out of your current paint job. </p></div>

Q: What should I do if I used exterior paint inside?

• <div><p>The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn&rsquo;t the way the paint looks or performs&mdash;it&rsquo;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&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint inside when it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-in-the-rain.htm">paint inside when it rains</a>, but you should keep the windows closed and have a dehumidifier in the room to maintain proper humidity under 70%. Note that keeping the windows closed means you won&rsquo;t have ventilation, so double-check that you&rsquo;re using a no-VOC paint for safety. Even then, it&rsquo;s a better idea to wait until the rain has passed before you start painting.</p></div>

Q: Do services include low-VOC or eco-friendly paint options?

• <div><p>Yes, many professionals offer low-VOC and eco-friendly paints to improve indoor air quality.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value to a house: interior paint or exterior paint?

• <div><p>Both interior and exterior paint add value to your home, but exterior paint may have a higher ROI when it comes time to sell. Houses with more curb appeal fetch higher prices overall, and a fresh coat of paint can go a long way toward making a great first impression.</p></div>

This is the kind of project you never want to have to do. We had water damage to our bathroom wall because our wood/stucco siding failed. I didn't even hesitate to call Frank. He gave me fair quotes to do the job well (vinyl siding) or for life (Hardie board). We worked with Mike to settle on...
