I have been in the construction field for over 4 years now. Specializing in floor installation, painting, renovating bathroom/kitchen, roof and decking. I was a police officer for over 13 years in Florida but have decided to follow my skills and interests in construction since we have relocated to this wonderful area.

"Fantastic. On time, got it done right. Would recommend"

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

If you’re debating whether to paint the walls or ceiling first, let us settle it for you. Painting the ceiling first is key—that way, you won’t have to worry about paint drips. Always start at the top of the room and work your way down for best results.

When it comes to accent walls in farmhouse decor, several paint colors can work well to create a focal point and add visual interest to the space. Some excellent choices for farmhouse accent walls include warm and earthy tones, muted blues and greens, and weathered grays. Warm browns can create a rich, cozy backdrop, while brick reds can recreate the look and feel of an antique barn, pairing well with distressed woods and galvanized steel.

You should apply at least two coats of paint to your project, but some surfaces may benefit from a third coat of paint. Ensure you’ve waited the right length of time before applying a second or third coat of paint, and try to apply it evenly for a cohesive finish.

One of the most significant benefits of hiring a professional painter is that they complete the task faster and better. Generally, it takes about a day to paint a room, depending on dry time. If you're painting your entire house or the exterior of your home, that's a lot of time spent with a paintbrush in hand. Outsourcing this project to a painting pro will save you countless hours.

Other benefits of hiring a professional painter include:

  • Quality experience with painting 

  • Assistance with choosing colors

  • Using the right tools for the job

  • Extensive product knowledge

While often used interchangeably, flat and matte paints are not the same. Flat paint has no gloss and is completely shine-free, while matte has up to 10% resin, giving it a slightly velvety appearance. That small amount of gloss in matte paint gives it a more elegant, modern appearance than flat paint, though flat paint is ideal for hiding imperfections in even the most dented, scratched, and repeatedly repaired surfaces.
