How long will the paint products you use last with our climate?
We find most of our jobs last between 8-10 years before they start to need a refresh. Usually the sunniest side of the house receives the most wear and tear.
My home is older – do you ever run into problems you have to replace instead of fix it?
Yes. A lot of times on older homes, we find materials that are sub-par ex. Masonite siding. We often replace this with fiber cement or James Hardie Siding. We also like to use PVC trim when able since this will never rot.

We can paint any substrate on your home, however, we are knowledgeable in what substrates should be left unpainted (galvanized metal, glazed brick, etc)
Can you paint any time of year?
The short answer is yes. Long answer is it depends. We find the months of July-August are often too hot/humid & December-January are too cool & damp.
