Q: How long does flat paint last on walls?

• <div><p>Flat paint has a much shorter life span than other finishes due to the lack of protective gloss. How long flat paint lasts on walls will depend on sun exposure, moisture, temperature variations, how often it is cleaned, and more. While it&rsquo;s impossible to give an exact number, don&rsquo;t be surprised if you need to repaint walls with flat paint every few years.</p></div>

Q: How long should pool deck paint last?

• <div><p>Depending on factors such as weather, use, substrate condition, and type of paint used, pool deck paint should last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Keeping the paint clean and resealing every year or two can help extend the life of the paint. Proper preparation before painting also plays a large role in how long the paint lasts on a pool deck. Paint will likely not last as long on a pool deck in poor condition before painting.</p></div>

Q: How many gallons of paint do I need?

• <div><p>One gallon of paint can usually cover up to 400 square feet. Therefore, painting a one- or two-car garage door typically requires one gallon of paint, which should give you enough for the two to three coats experts recommend for this job. However, if you're painting a lighter color over a darker color, you might need more. Using primer can decrease the total number of coats of paint you need.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to prime stucco before painting?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How long should you wait to shower after painting a bathroom?

• <div><p>Wait at least 48 hours before taking a shower in your newly painted bathroom. Even if the paint feels dry to the touch, it needs time to fully cure and resist the high humidity from a hot shower. Keep the bathroom well-ventilated by running an exhaust fan or leaving a window open during the drying time and while showering. </p></div>

Adam performed a very thorough interior and exterior home inspection and presented a clear and concise report. The report identified items of concern and items that may need repair or upgrades. The final report, with photos, was easy to understand and professionally presented.

The gutters look great! They worked with me to pick materials and help design where downspouts would go. The colors match both my home's trim and paint color on my house. Solid materials and excellent craftsmanship. I will be hiring this company again for any future work!

Before the visit, Brian advised that the job would include all of their time, including any efforts to expose the pipes. Since it was an easy job to pull off the paneling on the interior wall (and replace when he was finished), we did that ourselves. He arrived with a helper and had the job done...

Our experience is that Dan Netco Exteriors takes labor shortcuts in order to win bids and later refuses to honor their warranty on resulting problems. We hired Dan Netko Exteriors to paint my elderly father?s house and deck. Since the house is cedar and the previous paint was peeling badly...

Hi my name is Matt I am the owner of Northern lakes painting & finishing LLC I have been painting for 11 years. Decided to go on my own last year I specialize in interior/exterior/cabinets/pre-finished work/decks & power washing! I take pride in my work! Very detailed on any project I do! Would love to transform any project you have for me!

"Matt and his team did an exceptional job with our challenging interior paint job—the tongue and groove paneling (walls and ceiling) of our cabin's master bedroom, including a vaulted ceiling. We also asked them to apply a java gel stain to a high ceiling beam and the pitched ceiling of our master bathroom. We couldn't have been happier with the results. Absolute perfection. Matt is professional, timely, and a great communicator. We really appreciated the photos he sent when the project was finished. He had competitive pricing, also. We are so glad we invested in hiring this project out--in the past we've done nearly all interior paint jobs ourselves, but it would have taken us so much time, scaffolding rental, and we wouldn't have done nearly as good a job. We very highly recommend Northern Lakes Painting & Finishing!"
