FAQ

Q: What kind of paint should I use in high-traffic areas?

A: An eggshell finish is a good choice in high-traffic areas because it is washable.

Q: Can I paint vinyl siding?

A: Yes, but it is not advisable to paint your vinyl siding a darker color than its original color. Darker paint will expand and contract at a different rate than the lighter siding, and this may cause the vinyl to warp.
 
Q: Can paint that has frozen still be used?

A: Yes. Most paints are designed to withstand multiple freeze/thaw cycles. If the paint looks like a fresh, unfrozen can of the same product, then it is safe to use.

Q: What colors tend to fade the fastest outside?

A: All exterior paints eventually loose some of their color, but organic colors (greens and blues) tend to fade faster than inorganic colors (browns and yellows).
Q: Is my area serviced by your company?

A: The majority of our work is done in the Washington, DC metro area but we have done work in various areas of Maryland (including Ocean City) and Virginia and we are willing to talk with you about your area.
