Painting, Washing & Restoration FAQ

1. How often should I repaint the exterior of my home?+
Typically every 5–10 years, depending on the material, climate, and previous paint quality.
2. What time of year is best for exterior painting?+
Late spring, summer, and early fall are ideal when temperatures are consistently between 50°F and 85°F.
3. How long does an exterior paint job take?+
Most homes can be completed in 3–7 days depending on size, surface preparation needs, and weather conditions.
4. How do you prepare a house before painting it?+
We clean surfaces, scrape off loose paint, sand rough areas, repair cracks, caulk gaps, and apply primer before painting.
5. How do I choose the right color for interior painting?+
Consider lighting, room size, mood you want to create, and sample swatches before deciding. We can assist with professional color consultations!
6. How long does interior painting usually take?+
An average room (12×12 ft) usually takes 1–2 days including prep, painting, and drying between coats.
7. Do I need to move furniture before painting starts?+
We recommend moving small valuables. Our team can help move large furniture to the center of the room and cover everything for protection.
8. What type of paint do you use for interiors?+
We use high-quality, low-VOC paints designed for durability, easy cleaning, and a beautiful long-lasting finish.
9. Why is pressure washing important before painting?+
It removes dirt, mold, mildew, and loose paint so the new paint adheres properly and lasts longer.
10. What surfaces can you pressure wash?+
We safely clean siding, driveways, patios, decks, fences, walkways, and more using the appropriate pressure levels for each material.
11. Can pressure washing damage my home?+
When performed professionally with the right pressure settings, pressure washing is safe and highly effective. DIY misuse can cause damage though!
12. What does fire and smoke damage restoration involve?+
It includes removing damaged materials, deep cleaning smoke residue, deodorizing, repairing walls/ceilings, and repainting to restore your home.
13. How soon should fire and smoke cleanup begin?+
Immediately. The longer soot and smoke sit, the more damage they cause. We recommend starting cleanup within 24–48 hours after clearance.
14. Will my walls and ceilings need to be replaced after smoke damage?+
It depends on severity. Lightly damaged areas can often be cleaned and repainted. Severely damaged drywall may need replacement.
15. Can you remove smoke odors completely?+
Yes. We use specialized cleaning agents, air scrubbers, and deodorizing techniques to fully eliminate smoke odors from your home.
