FAQ
1. How long does a painting project take?
The timeline for a painting project depends on three factors: interior or exterior, square footage, and scope of work. A premium 2,500 sqft interior painting usually takes 5-7 days, while exterior projects of the same size typically take 2-4 days.
2. How long in advance would I need to schedule my project start date?
We typically book 2-3 weeks in advance, but we are flexible and can accommodate your preferred timeline to ensure the project fits your schedule.
3. Is pressure cleaning included?
Absolutely! Pressure cleaning is a crucial step in preparing surfaces for painting. It removes dirt, dust, and debris, ensuring a clean surface for a smooth and even application. This step is essential for promoting adhesion and enhancing the longevity of your paint job.
4. Is it ok to use paint and primer in one?
It depends. While a primer coat can be a great option for an interior repaint, it’s not typically recommended for exterior surfaces. For exteriors, we always suggest applying a full, separate coat of primer to the substrate to improve paint adhesion and ensure better long-term results.
5. Do we paint pool decks, driveways, and sidewalks?
Yes, we do! We start by pressure cleaning the surface, then apply a specialized concrete coating called Heavy Shield, following the manufacturer's specifications for optimal results.
