"Exceptional Service from Ray Gibbs Painting—Highly Recommended! We recently hired Ray Gibbs and his team to paint our entire house, top to bottom, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, every aspect of their service was professional and outstanding. First, the business side was seamless. Ray's pricing was fair and reasonable, offering excellent value for the extensive work performed. Ray was quick to respond via text and email, which made coordinating a large project stress-free. The crew demonstrated an incredible work ethic. They were extremely hard-working, showing up promptly at 8 am and working diligently the entire day until 5 pm. Due to a significant time crunch on our end, Ray and his team went above and beyond, working long hours, including weekends, to ensure we stayed on schedule. Ray was accurate with the estimated time of completion and kept the promised timeline, which was crucial for us. The quality of the painting was excellent, and they handled any requests for small touch-ups quickly and without hesitation. Furthermore, we made some last-minute changes and additions to the scope, and these were completed without any push back or grievance. Their flexibility and focus on client satisfaction were truly impressive. We will absolutely use them again for any future painting needs and highly recommend Ray Gibbs Painting to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and hard-working painters."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Always fill gaps before painting for the most professional results. Gap-filling materials such as caulk and wood filler require primer and paint to match surrounding surfaces, so addressing gaps during your painting project ensures consistent color and finish throughout the room.

Painting the exterior of your home is a moderate to advanced DIY project and requires certain tools, supplies, experience, and time. Due to the intricacies and time involved, exterior painting is usually best left to a pro, but can be tackled by an enthusiastic homeowner.

Brushes, rollers, and spray paint are the best ways to paint metal surfaces, depending on your project goals. Spray paint is the easiest method for painting metal and can make painting complicated pieces with many curves and grooves a breeze. However, using traditional paint with a roller or brush creates a harder, more durable finish.

Though it depends on the exact type, most paint lacquers only take about 15 to 30 minutes to dry. However, you’ll want to wait at least four hours before applying another coat and anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks before polishing.

When estimating their costs, painters include the cost of the physical materials they’ll need (like paint, tape, caulk, and masking plastic) as well as the labor costs of the painters doing the job. They may also need to consider transportation and other business expenses, like insurance. The average cost to paint the exterior of a house is about $3,100, but your specific price will depend on the size of your home, which contractors you choose, and other factors.
