Many of our clients like to understand the process before getting started, and we believe in making things as clear and straightforward as possible. That’s why we’ve gathered some of the most common topics we get asked about, based on real experiences with painting projects. Even if it’s for your home or business, this section is here to help you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
It depends on the size of your space and how much prep work is involved. For most average-sized rooms, it usually takes about 1 to 3 days. If you have multiple rooms, detailed trim work, or need drywall repairs, it might take a bit longer. We’ll always give you a clear timeline before we start and keep you updated along the way so there are no surprises.
In most cases, two coats of paint are best for a solid, long-lasting finish. The first coat gives you coverage, and the second one helps with color depth and durability. That said, if we're painting over a similar color and the surface is in great shape, one coat with primer might be enough, but two coats is usually the way to go if you want it to look great and hold up over time.
Siding or wall cladding is just the material that covers the outside of your house to protect it from weather and give it a finished look. People call it by different names depending on the type like vinyl siding, wood siding, or even stucco. But in general, "siding" is the common word for whatever is on the outside walls of your home.
You can paint most metal surfaces like iron, steel, aluminum, and even galvanized metal. The important part is making sure it’s clean and primed properly so the paint sticks and holds up.
It really depends on the size of the damage. Small holes or dents can usually be patched up in a couple of hours, including drying time. Bigger repairs, like large holes or water damage, might take a day or two since they often need multiple coats and sanding between.
Drywall is measured, cut, and attached to the wall or ceiling. Then the seams are taped, covered with joint compound, and sanded smooth. Once it’s dry, it’s ready for paint or texture.
Very effective! If done right, painting your cabinets can completely transform your kitchen without the cost of a full remodel. It gives old cabinets a fresh, updated look and holds up well with the right prep, primer, and paint.
For an average-sized room, it usually takes about a day to remove the texture, prep the ceiling, and clean up. Larger spaces or ceilings that need repairs might take a bit longer.
Most exterior paint feels dry in a few hours, but it’s best to let it cure for 24 to 48 hours before heavy exposure to weather. Dry time can also depend on the paint type and weather conditions.
Typically, every 2 to 3 years is a good rule of thumb. But it depends on the weather, how much sun your deck gets, and the type of stain used. If the color’s fading or water isn’t beading on the surface anymore, it’s probably time to re-stain.
Most outdoor surfaces can be safely pressure-washed, such as concrete, brick, stone, wood decks, fences, and siding. The key is using the right pressure for each material. For example, concrete can handle high pressure, but wood and vinyl need a gentler approach to avoid damage.
