Q: Do you also do the exterior painting?

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.

Q: What kind of paint will be used?

You may buy any paint of your choice, however, I recommend using only top of the line paints and primers such as Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore. Good quality are recommended so that no more than two coats are needed and you would not need to pay extra for an additional coat.

It is not necessary, in fact most people are not home during the day since they go to work.

It is up to the customer.
