Should I tip for exterior home painting?

• <div><p>Although most contractors, like painters, earn an hourly rate and do not expect tips, you can still tip if you’re satisfied with the job and feel that the painters went above and beyond. Tipping about <b>$20 to $50 per worker</b> can go a long way in showing your appreciation for a job well done. However, check with the contractor beforehand to confirm the policy on tipping, as some companies do not allow employees to accept tips.</p></div>

How long does an exterior paint job last?

• <div><p>An exterior paint job lasts an average of 5 to 10 years, although some might only last 2 or 3 years and others up to 20 years. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-will-your-paint-job-last.htm">How often you need to paint your home’s exterior</a> depends on various factors. The type and quality of the paint, the application quality, the surface material, and local weather conditions all play a part in the paint’s longevity. </p></div>

How do you get paint to stay on plastic?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to get paint to stay on a plastic surface is by removing old, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-peeling-paint.htm">peeling paint </a>from your plastic surface and cleaning the plastic. Once you’ve cleaned the surface thoroughly, you can prime it with a plastic paint primer, wait for it to cure, and then apply high-quality paint that manufacturers have designed specifically for plastic surfaces.</p></div>

How often should you paint the interior of your house?

• <div><p>You should repaint the interior of your house every 2 to 7 years, depending on which room needs repainting and how it's used. High-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms need more frequent repainting—typically every 2 or 3 years. Living rooms and dining rooms, which you may use less frequently, can go as long as 5 to 7 years or even longer before they need to be repainted. </p></div>

Q: What is the most popular color for shutters?

• <div><p>Black shutters are very popular because of their versatility and the fact that they complement a variety of other colors. The other foundational color, white, is another extremely popular choice for the same reason. Both colors have the power to pack a punch, whether the rest of your home is painted deep blue or light gray.</p></div>

Workmanship was very good with only one flaw discovered after the installers departed. Work is not complete at this time since we are waiting for the stucco to be painted and the metal guards to be reinstalled.

Very thorough and provided excellent service. Not only did the technician clean the dryer vent, there was excess vent tubing behind the dryer that he removed to improve dryer efficiency, and he installed a new vent cover on the exterior of the house.

Eric was wonderful. The existing undersized gutters we had were causing one side of the building to flood when torrential downpours were overtaxing what was there. They up-sized to a 6" covered gutter system with an additional downspout and replaced a lot of rotten wood. Love the color, they...
