Yes, I also do the exterior painting for heights up to around 20 ft. I power wash houses and decks if it is needed before painting. I also do the deck staining or the deck painting restoration.

Q: How often should you have the interior painted?

It depends on many factors such as how many people live in the house, whether they smoke or not; how many children are in the house; what quality of paint was used; whether you have animals, etc. Personally, I would say every 5 to 10 years you should have the interior painted provided that the walls are still in a good condition.
