The 5 Most Common Questions We Receive As House Painters

As house painters, we are asked a lot of questions by our clients. Clients ask a lot about the cost while others ask about the painting itself. Here are 5 common questions that people ask Flora Brothers Painting, and of course the answers to them.

  1. So how much is this house painting project going to cost? (https://florabrotherspainting.com/painting-costs/)

This question comes mostly when we are measuring, taking pictures, and getting clarifications about the painting project. The simple answer to this question is that we cannot tell immediately. As mentioned we first take notes, pictures and the measurements, and then come up with the most cost-effective proposal for the job. There are numerous factors that come into play in determining the budget.

  1. What type of paint do you use?

This is a common question house painters receive, especially from clients who are keen about quality of the paint. We give honest answers about the exact paint we use and the brand. For the best outcome, we only use top brands that are known for their quality. We never compromise when it comes to this. This is why we prefer to provide the paint & materials on ALL of our projects.

  1. Why not just paint it?

It is true you can paint almost anything, but think about the outcome that you are looking to get. Is there a water stain on the surface? If yes, you have to repair the area using a primer-sealer before painting. Surfaces with visible discrepancies such as cracks and nail holes, you will need to repair. You will first need to prime & caulk the areas before applying any paint.

  1. Which paint sheen do you recommend?

The sheen of paint is responsible for the function, shine, and reflection. While the higher sheens, commonly known as semi-gloss & gloss or high-gloss, is easy to clean, it has to be applied on flawless walls. If not, any & all imperfections will be visible. A semi-gloss sheen is also easy to clean & you see it on doors & trim. A Satin finish is best suited for kitchens & bathrooms. Eggshell is mostly used on walls, while a flat or “matte” sheen is perfect for touch-ups, but may prove harder to clean. To make a good statement, we prefer to use high gloss on the front doors.

  1. How long will the project take to complete & how long will it last?

Depending on the size of your home, you can typically complete an interior painting job in 1-2 days (interior walls only). A typical interior paint job can last 10-15+ years. Although our “tastes” in colors typically change much sooner!

Also, depending on size, as well as the shrubs, trees, & accessibility around the house, an exterior paint job can take 2-5 days. A typical exterior paint project, when properly prepared, can last 6-10+ years. What matters most though is the preparation. Your home is your ‘castle’ and you want it to have the best treatment possible that it can have. Wherever you live you will be able to find painters that match what you need, an example of this is if you live in Australia, APMG Painters Melbourne might be the best choice for you! Always check your local listings to find what you need.
