Residential Exterior Painting FAQs

How long does an exterior painting project take?

Most exterior projects take about 3 to 7 days. The time depends on the size of the home, how much prep it needs, and how many colors are used. Weather can also add days, since we only paint in good conditions.

How often should I repaint the outside of my house?

Most exteriors need repainting every 5 to 10 years. It depends on the siding, the paint, and how much sun and moisture the home gets. Fading, peeling, cracking, and chalky residue are signs it may be time.

What is the best time of year to paint a home exterior in South Carolina?

Mild, dry weather works best, so spring and fall are popular. We do not paint in rain, very high humidity, or temperatures outside the range on the paint label. We will help you plan around the weather.

What does exterior prep involve?

Prep usually means washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough spots, caulking gaps, repairing damaged wood, and priming bare areas. Good prep is what makes new paint last.

Can you paint shutters, doors, and trim too?

Yes. Trim, doors, and shutters can be painted along with the siding, and a contrasting trim color is an easy way to boost curb appeal.
