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: Is it better to paint baseboards or walls first?

• <div><p>While you can do either, it&rsquo;s easier to paint your baseboards before your walls. Painting baseboards first lets you tape off the trim instead of the walls. Also, it&rsquo;s easier to cover up any mistakes on the walls since you&rsquo;ll eventually paint them.</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: Can I paint my pavers?

• <div><p>While you can paint brick or concrete pavers, you shouldn&rsquo;t. Even with a matte finishing paint, it still creates a reflective surface where sunlight bounces off. This increases heat during summer months, making the pavers hard to walk on. The reflection can also damage your eyes. Finally, paint seals the pavers in the least desirable way and makes them impermeable, trapping water and moisture inside, which can cause other problems. Paint layers also chip easily.</p></div>

Q: Should I paint before refinishing wood steps?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/refinishing-wood-steps.htm">Refinishing wood steps</a> before painting the surrounding walls or trim is the best option. Sanding stair treads creates fine dust that can settle on freshly painted surfaces and interfere with adhesion. Plus, refinishing involves heavy foot traffic, equipment, and potential splashes from stain or sealant, which can damage new paint. By tackling the stairs first, you reduce the risk of damaging painted walls and can more easily tape off and protect surfaces during painting.</p></div>

I appreciated the thorough prep work including power washing, priming and making some minor repairs where wood had gone bad. The crew gave attention to details - Mike even did some special painting to make the decorative molding on the peak of the house “pop”.

Never hire this company. This is a 'take your money and run' type of company. For example, he said he couldn't get shingles to match the current ones, so he painted the shingles. He just re-bent the fascia to cover rotten wood, instead of replacing it. When I confronted him about this, he...
