Consider the following key indicators. While these aren’t the only factors to consider, they are crucial ones.

When was the last time you painted your home?

On average, homes in the U.S. need a new paint job every seven years. This timeframe can vary based on where you live. Homes with more sun exposure might need repainting sooner. And if you’re near the coast, the salty air can speed up the wear and tear on the paint.

Has the color on your home dulled?

When you notice the paint starting to lose its vibrancy, it’s often a sign that the protective layer is wearing thin. Think of an older car whose clear coat has begun to wear off, leaving the vehicle looking uneven and aged. Once this stage is reached, the paint can quickly start to chip or fade, exposing the material underneath to potential damage like rust or decay.

Do you see chipping or flaking paint?

Chipped or flaking paint is more than just an eyesore. It means the protective layer is compromised. Depending on the material underneath, this can lead to issues like wood decay or metal rusting. It’s essential to address this promptly to prevent further damage.

We employ the digital tool, Photoshop, to virtually alter the exterior color of a house. This method ensures you preview and approve the chosen shade before actual application. It’s logical to visualize the desired color in advance, isn’t it? After providing an estimate and once you decide to move forward, the next phase is color visualization. We’ll share digitally-rendered images of your home in the selected hue. Once you’re satisfied, we proceed with the actual painting in the color you’ve picked.

The most crucial insurance to ensure a painting contractor has is liability insurance. This ensures you’re safeguarded against potential damages to your premises. For tailored advice based on your specific circumstances, it’s best to speak with a legal expert.

Exercising caution is key. Most painting contractors don’t pay for materials or their team in advance. If you’re considering an initial payment, it’s best to do so after the first day’s work, specifically for material costs. Make it clear that subsequent payments will only be made upon full completion and satisfaction of the job. Drawing from my experience in the painting industry, I’ve always refrained from requesting money before the project begins.

When partnering with a professional painting service, it’s typically more cost-effective to let them handle the paint procurement. Even if paint stores offer you a discount (around 20-30%), the contractor’s pricing is usually more favorable.

While you might be told you’re receiving contractor rates, there are varying levels of these discounts, and it’s rare for homeowners to access the same rates as established painting contractors. In most cases where clients bought the paint and then hired us, they ended up spending more than if we had sourced it. If you’re hesitant about your contractor’s choices in materials, it might be worth reconsidering your choice of contractor.

We almost always advocate for two coats of paint. A double coat ensures a more durable and long-lasting finish. It also enhances color retention. As mentioned, when the protective layer of the paint deteriorates, the color starts to fade and the underlying surface becomes vulnerable. While a single coat might give a surface a refreshed appearance, it won’t offer the necessary durability. Upon close inspection, imperfections are often visible with just one coat.
