What are Colonial colors?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-exterior-paint-colors-colonial-house.htm">exterior Colonial colors</a> are earthy greens, neutrals, blacks, blues, peaches, pinks, and white. Of course, some of these shades weren’t as popular when colonial-style homes had one purpose—shelter. However, they grew in popularity over the centuries and are now used to add a timeless depth to more modern homes.</p></div>

Is black paint hard to paint with?

• <div><p>The color of your paint shouldn’t make it harder to apply, but it can be harder to cover in one coat, depending on the surface. Using a good quality primer that’s tinted gray will help make applying your black paint easier. Even with a primer, you will likely have to use two coats to get a perfect, solid black finish.</p></div>

Q: How much paint thinner should you use?

• <div><p>You should use either a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of paint to paint thinner in most cases. The amount of paint should always be higher than the amount of paint thinner. </p></div>

Q: Why use chalk paint versus regular paint?

• <div><p>Homeowners may choose chalk paint over regular paint if they want to hide all of the wood&rsquo;s grain, don&rsquo;t want to apply a large number of coats, and like the extreme matte appearance. Chalk paint is easier to work with than regular paint and adds a unique texture to furniture that regular paint just can&rsquo;t match. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint a fence with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.</p></div>

Paint Bros LLC is a local, family owned business providing painting service for all of Southern MN. We are not the typical paint company. We go beyond the call of duty to please our clients.

"If i could give more thank five stars I would! Paint Bros was excellent in EVERY way. Paint Bros responded quickly to our questions, discussed options thoroughly with us, was open to our ideas and yet contributed his own helpful suggestions and expertise to the project. He provided a fair bid -- similar to other bids. The The hard-working owner checked in with us everyday, and he did the work himself with a helper. He showed up when promised and was always positive and cheerful and really nice to have around. He worked in terrible weather (when others might have found an excuse not to show up) and did REALLY nice work. Our deck never looked so good! Paint Bros did our project the right way, not the easy way. We also added to the project and had them do our dock while they were here and they were willing to take that on too. We could not be more pleased. We have worked with a lot of workmen over the years and feel very confident recommending Paint Bros and we WILL hired them again."
