Q: How do I choose the right color for my shutters?

• <div><p>The first thing is to consider the main color of your home and determine which colors will complement it. You should place paint samples on your siding and look at them at different times of the day so you can see the way the sun (and shade) affect how they appear. Also note that lighter colors will make your windows look larger, while the opposite is true for darker colors.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint stucco siding?

• <div><p>It is possible to paint stucco siding. Painting stucco offers the advantages of providing a refreshed appearance and matching the patched area with the rest of the painted structure. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind. </p><p>Painting the entire structure, including stucco patches, can make it more challenging to reapply stucco in the future if desired. Stucco is a breathable material that allows moisture to evaporate, while paint can create a barrier, potentially trapping moisture. </p><p>To minimize these risks, it's important to choose high-quality breathable paint and ensure proper surface preparation. Before deciding to paint stucco, careful consideration should be given to the long-term implications and desired aesthetic.</p></div>

Q: How long does paint last on shutters?

• <div><p>The life span of paint on shutters depends on factors like paint quality, climate, and maintenance. High-quality exterior paint applied correctly can last 5 to 10 years. In mild climates with less extreme weather, paint may endure longer. However, exposure to harsh sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations can lead to more frequent repainting. Regular cleaning, maintenance, and timely repainting when signs of wear or fading appear can help extend the life of paint on shutters and maintain their appearance.</p></div>

Painting questions, answered by experts

The first thing is to consider the main color of your home and determine which colors will complement it. You should place paint samples on your siding and look at them at different times of the day so you can see the way the sun (and shade) affect how they appear. Also note that lighter colors will make your windows look larger, while the opposite is true for darker colors.

The two most common paint types are latex-based paint and oil-based paint. Here are some of the most significant differences between the two:

Latex-based paint:

$15–$60 per gallon on average
Best for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways
Dries more quickly than oil-based paints
More difficult to clean compared to oil-based paint

Oil-based paint

$20–$70 per gallon on average
Good for bathrooms, kitchens, doors, and trim
Easy to clean and holds up well against moisture
More likely to chip than latex-based paint
Requires good ventilation while drying

It is possible to paint stucco siding. Painting stucco offers the advantages of providing a refreshed appearance and matching the patched area with the rest of the painted structure. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind.

Painting the entire structure, including stucco patches, can make it more challenging to reapply stucco in the future if desired. Stucco is a breathable material that allows moisture to evaporate, while paint can create a barrier, potentially trapping moisture.

To minimize these risks, it's important to choose high-quality breathable paint and ensure proper surface preparation. Before deciding to paint stucco, careful consideration should be given to the long-term implications and desired aesthetic.

The life span of paint on shutters depends on factors like paint quality, climate, and maintenance. High-quality exterior paint applied correctly can last 5 to 10 years. In mild climates with less extreme weather, paint may endure longer. However, exposure to harsh sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations can lead to more frequent repainting. Regular cleaning, maintenance, and timely repainting when signs of wear or fading appear can help extend the life of paint on shutters and maintain their appearance.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.
