Premiere Painting helped me repaint my home interior and exterior and I also use them to help maintain my business. I own several apartment complexes and the team at Premiere Painting helped to design a paint maintenance program that keeps each one of my business locations looking great year round. They schedule maintenance and touch-ups at times that are convenient for me and my business - without Premiere Painting, I don't know how I would keep up with the demands of the upkeep. I highly recommend contacting Premiere Painting, professional painting contractors in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

1.00What percentage of labor (exterior house painting) cost should I collect up front?
Q.I am painting the exterior of a 1800 square foot home. I would like to know what the industry norm is for collecting the draws on the labor, as the job progresses.
Thanks!
A.Most contractors I have dealt with (which isn't many admittedly, and none of them were painters) have requested 25-30% of the total estimate before beginning work. Obviously, you should have a contract signed by both of you outlining the work to be done, the payment schedule, and the time line of work (allowing for inclement weather, etc).
Personally, as a home owner, I would not pay a painter more than 25% before the project started and not more than 50% before it was completely finished.
1.00Painting the exterior mobile home. Can I paint the outside of a metal trailer with flat exterior paint?
Q.I plan to use semi gloss on the shutters and a flat exterior on the house itself. Thanks.
A.I wouldn't use flat paint especially outside ,you need gloss because when it rains the water will just slide off the trailer. If you use flat it will absorb the water.
1.00How can the faded color on vinyal shutters (exterior) be restored?
Q.The exterior shutters on the house are faded, due to weather. They are only 4 years old. I would like to freshen up the color, without painting if possible.
A.I think painting will be your only real option. Once the color is damaged it can't really be brought out again. Vinyl can be sanded lightly, and buffed to help restore the color, but most shutters have a faux wood grain texture that will also show damage and cannot be repaired. I think the best option is to take them down, LIGHTLY sand them to clean them up, wipe down with water or alcohol and paint with canned spray paint. Krylon FUSION paints are designed for plastics and vinyls and I have had good experience using them.

Professional Exterior Painting
There's nothing like a coat of paint to raise your Toledo area house's curb appeal a few notches. Neighbors will gape in envy while passers by will stand and stare. Not to mention that a newly painted exterior can raise your home equity. House painting immediately adds to the beauty and character of your home. It also serves to protect your house against insects, mildew and mold growth. Signs of flaking and peeling paint, and water damage may be enough reason to get your house painted. Even if you don't notice these things an exterior house painting job will guarantee a quick and inexpensive makeover.
The exterior of the house is the first thing that people notice when they set sights on your house. Before they notice your colonial windows, ornate doors and fine trims, they'll notice the color and finish of the paint on the exterior walls. This is why it's so important that you chose not just the right color for your exteriors but also invest some time in maintaining your exterior paint. Before you choose pails of new paint, do a patch test to see if the paint will look great on your walls. Often colors that look great in brochures don't translate well when applied on to your walls. Do the patch test in a little used part of your interior. If it still looks great go ahead and tell your contractor to do it all!
Getting your Toledo, OH area house painted can be the easiest way to give it an immediate and visible face lift. A drab faded exterior does nothing for the image of the house or its inhabitants. Faded and peeling paint and water damage patches are tell tale signs that you are up for a new paint job. Even if your present exterior is fine, your house might still benefit from a fresh touch up. Take care to choose the right color for the exterior. The paint is the first thing that registers in people's minds even before they notice the windows, doors or trim. Drive around the suburbs or you own neighborhood to get a feel for what color looks great on a house.
Once you've decided on the right color now comes the application of the paint. You might be tempted to do it yourself with a good old fashioned paint brush and a ladder. Giving your exterior a smooth unblemished finish requires more than paint brushes. Professional exterior painting contractors make use of automatic sprayers that cut down your painting time by days. With the newer more innovative automatic spraying techniques, finishes are as precise and neat as with old fashioned rollers and brushes. However for areas around the doors and trim where more minute application is required, ordinary brushes may be used to complete the job.
To make sure that your vision for your home exterior is realized in the best possible way, rely on a professional exterior painting contractor or company. You could still go about it the old fashioned way with rollers and brushes, but you can expect to spend weeks on the job. A professional exterior painting crew will make use of the most modern equipment including automatic sprayers which cut down the time it takes to paint your house to a fraction.
A professional painting crew comes with all the equipment necessary to finish the job quickly and efficiently. The old method of rollers and paint brushes belong in the medieval age. Modern exterior painting companies make use of automatic sprayers that dramatically reduce the time taken to paint a commercial or residential exterior. While sprayers are used for the large surfaces, paint brushes are used to get to the bare patches around windows, doors and trim. So you get a newly painted house quickly without compromising on the flawless finish.
