How can I tell when it's time to paint the exterior of my house or business?

When your exterior paint starts to fade, that is a good indicator that it is time for a paint job. Some factors to take into consideration when deciding on an exterior painting job are the time of year, the humidity level, and the typical weather conditions of your area. In most cases, an exterior paint job will last 5 to 10 years. The longevity is dependent upon weather, sun exposure, and wind exposure. If you start to notice small cracks were chipping paint, that is another indicator that you need a paint job. In fact, if left untreated, you might be facing rot in more serious repairs in the future.

There are some companies that will quote over the phone. However, beware of this estimate process as this may very well lead to changes in the final painting bill.

However, a larger painting company may also have better workmanship guarantees and warranties. When comparing quotes between different companies, be sure to compare apples to apples. Make sure that your project has a well-defined scope of work outlining all the details of the project. Then, make sure that every contractor bidding on the project is bidding on the complete scope of work that you provide.
