FAQs

There are several key things to look for when choosing house painting contractors. At the very least, check to see if they are insured, offer workers compensation, are experienced, and are capable of completing work. Look for reputable companies with local references, and be sure they can complete work promptly. According to Improovy, the average house exterior takes three to four days to paint. If a past customer review says the company took longer, be sure to ask about their timeliness.

Professional house painting contractors want to avoid extremes. In the experience of our team here at A Able Painting Company, painting when it's 45 degrees or higher is best.

Yes. Most people we work for are not home while work is going on. While you are at work or running errands, our crew will be busy painting. Our exterior painting company is fully insured, so there is nothing to worry about.

This depends on the climate, sun exposure, and the paint surface itself. Excellent preparation, proper slow-drying primer, good sanding and caulking, no rot, a good moisture barrier, and no gutter issues are essential. With these factors in place, in the experience of our house painting contractors, our high-end paint should last between eight and 15 years.

Our exterior painting company always has paint left over at the end of the job. We leave that with you if you need some for future interior or exterior touch-ups.

Sheen refers to the light reflectivity of the painted or varnished surface. There are varying degrees of sheen, from no sheen to high gloss. Though some paint manufacturers may refer to their paint sheens by different names, generally, from lowest to highest, paint sheens correspond to these reflective degrees: flat finish, eggshell finish, satin finish, semi-gloss finish, and high gloss finish. Our exterior painting company can answer any other questions you have about paint sheens!
