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>

Do you need to prime fiberglass before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, you should prime a fiberglass bathtub before painting it. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">primer</a> improves the paint’s adhesion, strengthening and increasing the durability of the final result. While you can buy primer separately, bathtub and tile refinishing kits come with a primer designed to work with the paint and hardener.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint are needed?

• <div><p>You'll need at least two coats of paint when painting your stair railings, despite some manufacturers' claims of single-coat coverage. This is necessary mostly because there are often many corners and details that make it difficult to cover all surfaces evenly with a single coat. Adding a second coat evens out the finish and provides added durability. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect painting costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on roof condition, paint quality, labor, and whether additional repairs or coatings are required.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint wall panels?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-wall-paneling.htm">paint most wall panels.</a> In fact, many wall panels come unfinished, meaning you can stain or paint them in any color you choose. Unfinished wall panels are usually less expensive than finished panels, although you should consider the time it will take you to finish them yourself when deciding if the monetary savings are worth it. You can save some money on the labor of finishing your panels if you go the DIY route, though.</p><p>If your wall panel already has a stain or paint color on it, you can often paint over it as well. You'll just want to make sure you properly treat the area before painting.</p></div>

Great job! It was a pleasure working with Earl, Francisco, and Marco. They’re obviously experts, came in early and worked late for 15 straight days. Francisco and Marco began by painting the stained wood kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are now perfect. The paint looks almost baked onto the wood....

They do exterior painting also, but they did not do it for me. My overall experience with them was excellent. I needed them in 2 days, and they came immediately. He was punctual and turned up 30 minutes early. I would use them again in the future.
