When is the best time to paint the exterior of my house in Gainesville?Spring and fall are generally ideal due to milder weather, but we can advise on the best timing based on current conditions and your schedule.

How do I know when it’s time to repaint the exterior?Signs include peeling, chipping, fading, or chalking paint, as well as visible damage to the surfaces. Regular maintenance helps extend the life and appearance of your home.

Do you offer power washing before painting?Yes. Power washing is a vital step in our exterior painting process to remove dirt, mold, and old paint, ensuring proper adhesion of new paint.

Quality & Warranty
