"John and his crew at Precision Paint Pros did an outstanding job painting the interior of my townhouse at 9745 Transplanter Cir. He is a very pofessional, reliable an knowledgeable individual. I was highly impressed by his attention to detail from drywall repair, sanding and calking before painting. I am extremely happy with the finished job, and will use them in any future painting project. If you want a painting project done professionally I highly recommend Precission Paint Pros"

"Mr. Williams did a good job on our ceilings but the messiest work, in regards to cleaning. There was none. My house is covered with residue. We have to have walls repainted due to ALL the spillage from the ceiling work. Our hardwood floors needs a good cleaning. The shoe tracks are all through our foyer. Also, instead of a full day of work, the 2 man team only works half days, making it longer for the work to be done. No masks noted, and cigarette butts in my yard. Let me just say in fairness, the job was decent, but I would like to recommend them, but in honesty regarding cleanliness, I WOULD NOT and CANNOT!!! I love kindness, but when it comes to your investment, you have to take in account everything. We now have to bring in someone for painting and who will use drop cloths. Oh yeah, make sure to get a contract for accountability."

Painting questions, answered by experts

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means you can paint vinyl siding with the proper preparation.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
