Exterior painting usually takes one day, but larger homes or those needing lots of wood replaced might take 2-3 days. Power washing, done separately, takes 2-3 hours and is completed beforehand.
AnswerBefore painting, we wash your home’s exterior using a technique called soft washing. This method helps eliminate mold, mildew, and surface contaminants, ensuring better paint adhesion.
AnswerOur carpenters are skilled and prepared to replace entire walls of siding, all wood trim, or even individual boards as needed to ensure your exterior is ready for painting.
AnswerThe optimal time for painting the exterior of your Michigan home is from March 15th to November 15th. This period allows for painting at lower temperatures, with our paint being applicable even at 35 degrees. However, for houses with aluminum siding, it’s recommended to paint between April and October.
AnswerWe can paint the exterior of your home’s windows without causing any damage. For vinyl windows, we use a vinyl-safe formula, although there might be some color limitations. Wood or aluminum-clad windows are easier to paint. Casement windows are particularly suitable for painting. However, double-hung windows may occasionally incur minor scratches due to the sliding mechanism and friction between panels.
AnswerIn Michigan, the average cost of an exterior paint job for a residential home in 2023 varied between $4500 and $7500. This range depends on factors such as the size of the home, number of stories, the number of colors used, and the number of substrates being painted.
