What to expect
How long will my project take?
It depends on the size of the job, how much prep it needs and the weather. Chris will tell you what to expect for timing when he gives your estimate.
How long does a paint job last?
It depends on the surface, the prep it needs and how much sun and weather it gets. In Colorado Springs, strong high-altitude sun is the biggest factor on south- and west-facing walls. We use Sherwin-Williams® paint, and our work is backed by a 10-year warranty. Chris can explain the coverage for your project.
How should I get my home ready?
Chris will go over this at your estimate. For outside work, it helps to move cars, grills, planters and patio furniture away from the walls and to keep pets inside while the crew is working. For inside work, it helps to clear small items, breakables and wall hangings from the rooms being painted.
When is the best time of year for exterior painting?
Exterior paint needs dry weather and mild temperatures, so most outside work around Colorado Springs happens spring through fall. If the weather doesn't cooperate, the job moves to the next good day. Interior painting can be done any time of year.
Can you fix hail damage to my paint and gutters?
Yes. Hail can chip and pit paint and dent gutters and downspouts, and we repair both. See hail damage repair.
