Exterior Painting FAQs

How do I know if my home needs exterior painting?

If your paint is peeling, cracking, fading, or if your home just looks a little tired and worn down - that's a pretty good sign it’s time for a refresh. Even if you’re not seeing major damage, dull or outdated paint can drag down curb appeal. For most homes, we recommend repainting every 5–10 years depending on the surface type, the quality of the last paint job, and how much exposure your home gets to sun, wind, and moisture.

​

What’s included in your exterior home painting process?

We don’t just show up and slap on paint. Our team starts with thorough prep work: power washing, scraping off peeling paint, sanding, priming, and taping off any areas that need protection. Then we apply high-quality exterior paint designed to withstand the Connecticut Shoreline’s coastal weather and changing seasons.

​

Do I need to be home during the exterior painting project?

Nope! As long as we have access to the exterior and any water spigots we might need for prep work, you don’t need to be at home during the project. We know your time is valuable, so we make the process as smooth and hands-off for you as possible. Our team will provide daily updates on progress, stay in communication throughout, and treat your property with the utmost care and respect - just like we would our own homes.

​

How long will the exterior home painting job take?

Every home is different, but most exterior painting projects typically take between 3–7 days to complete. The exact timeframe depends on factors like the size of your home, the condition of the surfaces, how much prep work is needed, and of course, the weather. We also factor in things like drying time between coats and any carpentry repairs that may be needed before painting begins. We’ll give you a detailed, personalized timeline before we start, so you’ll always know what to expect and when.

​

What type of paint do you use for  exterior painting projects?

We use premium, weather-resistant paints from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore - products that are specifically designed to withstand New England’s diverse weather conditions. These high-performance paints hold up beautifully over time and provide excellent protection from moisture, UV rays, mildew, and temperature swings. They also resist cracking and fading, helping your home look sharp for years to come while reducing the need for frequent repainting.

​

How do you protect landscaping and outdoor areas while painting?

Great question - we take this seriously because protecting your property is just as important to us as applying a beautiful coat of paint. We’ll carefully tape and cover all landscaping features like shrubs, flower beds, trees, and hardscaped areas including patios, decks, railings, walkways, and windows. We use high-quality drop cloths and plastic sheeting to make sure no paint goes where it shouldn't. Our team works neatly, respects your space, and always performs a full clean-up at the end of each day to leave your home looking tidy throughout the entire process.

​
