Q. Do you have any tips in helping me select a contractor?
A. Price: In choosing the best price, make sure that you compare apples-to-apples. Compare written estimates (not verbal promises) regarding the amount of preparation, quality of materials, number of coats, etc. The lowest price is not always the best price.
Q. What is your payment requirement?
A. We require a 1/3 deposit upon acceptance with the remaining 2/3 upon completion. Some larger projects may require performance payment
Q. Should I use flat, satin or semi-gloss paint?
A. The sheen would depend on the results you wish to achieve. Flat paints have greater touch up qualities. Satin and semi-gloss finishes are more washable but, they also tend to show any imperfections on the surface of the object being painted.
Q. How long will my exterior painting job last?
A. Generally exterior painting job will need to be redone every 5-7 years. Stucco tends to last longer, wood on the other hand expands and contracts more with changing temperatures which loosens the paint sooner. It is best not to put off your exterior painting until the house is badly peeling. When it gets to that condition it will end up costing you more in preparation time and possibly rotten wood replacement. If however the property is in a bad condition when you get to it, do yourself a favor - go the extra length and ensure that thorough surface preparation is done. The idea is to create a sound surface for the new coats to adhere to. This requires more time but is necessary for the paint job to last.
Q. What kind of paint do you use?
A. Art Divine Painting uses only the best quality paints from Sherwin-Williams, Duron and Benjamin Moore. Which company we use on your project is determined by customer preference and or type of work to be done. In some cases, specialty coatings from other manufacturers will be used.
