Interior Painting Questions

Q: How long does interior painting typically take?
A: The duration depends on the size of the area, the number of coats required, and the amount of preparation needed. A single room might take a day, while a whole house could take several days or more. We'll provide a clear timeline in your estimate.

Q: Do you help with color selection?
A: Yes, we can offer professional advice and guidance on color selection, helping you choose the perfect palette that matches your style and complements your space. We can also provide paint samples.

Q: What type of paint do you use for interior projects?
A: We use high-quality, durable interior paints from reputable brands, chosen based on the surface type, desired finish, and your preferences for washability, low VOCs, and longevity.

Exterior Painting Questions

Q: How long does exterior paint typically last?
A: The lifespan of exterior paint depends on the paint quality, surface preparation, weather exposure, and type of siding. Generally, high-quality exterior paint can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years.

Q: What is involved in exterior paint preparation?
A: Thorough preparation is key to a lasting exterior paint job. This includes power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding, filling cracks and holes, caulking, and priming. Our detailed prep work ensures a smooth, durable finish.

Q: When is the best time of year for exterior painting?
A: The ideal time for exterior painting is typically during mild, dry weather. This allows for proper drying and curing of the paint.

Log Cabin Painting Services

Q: Is log cabin painting different from regular exterior painting?
A: Yes, log cabin painting requires specialized knowledge, materials, and techniques. Log homes need specific stains, sealers, and chinking/caulking methods to protect the wood, prevent rot, and maintain their unique aesthetic.

Q: What kind of products do you use for log cabin painting?
A: We use high-quality, breathable log home stains and sealers specifically designed to protect natural wood, allow it to "breathe," and resist UV damage, moisture, and insect infestation. We also handle chinking and caulking.

Q: How often should a log cabin be re-stained or repainted?
A: The frequency depends on the type of stain, climate, and sun exposure, but typically log cabins require re-staining every 3-7 years to maintain optimal protection and appearance.

Roofing Services

Q: What types of roofing services do you provide?
A: We offer comprehensive roofing services, including roof repair (for leaks, storm damage, etc.), full roof replacement, and new roof installation for both residential and commercial properties. We work with various materials like asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and more.

Q: How do I know if I need a new roof or just a repair?
A: We'll conduct a thorough inspection of your roof to assess its condition. Minor leaks or localized damage might warrant a repair. However, widespread damage, significant age (e.g., shingles past their lifespan), or major storm damage often necessitates a full replacement.

Q: Do you assist with roofing insurance claims?
A: Yes, we have extensive experience working with insurance companies on roofing claims (e.g., hail, wind damage). We can help you through the process, from initial inspection to providing documentation and meeting with adjusters, to ensure your roof is properly restored.
