Q: Why is exterior house paint more expensive?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.</p></div>

Q: What is included in exterior house painting?

• <div><p>Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:</p><ul><li><p>Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted</p></li><li><p>Scraping away loose paint</p></li><li><p>Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris</p></li><li><p>Caulking gaps and openings</p></li><li><p>Priming with a quality paint primer</p></li><li><p>Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-types-exterior-paint.htm">paint finish</a></p></li><li><p>Adding a second coat</p></li><li><p>Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Will a second coat of stain even out?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">Adding a second coat of stain to wood</a> can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.</p></div>

Q: Do fence repairs include painting or coating?

• <div><p>Some services include rust prevention or repainting. Confirm with your provider before scheduling.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to stain a fence?

• <div><p>Late spring or early summer is usually the best time to stain a fence. Pick your timing carefully and aim to start your DIY when you see a forecast that shows no rain and low humidity levels for at least a few days. If it&rsquo;s too hot (like in the middle of summer), the stain will dry out too quickly. If it&rsquo;s too cold (like in the winter and early spring), the stain might not be able to fully dry.</p></div>

They called me crazy because their work was substandard and I was also nit picking. Wow, how professional! Their contract was vaguely written. I was told the paint was included, then was told that I needed to pay for the paint, after I fired him. Then he involved the State Police. Their work...
