Free estimates. Family run business with 15 years of experience in the painting industry. We do exterior, interior, power wash, decks, cabinets, and more.
"Had them come to do some interior painting for our home. Did get an estimate from another company and Pint the DMV was less by a significant margin. Unfortunately the week of our appointment there was heavy rain in the area which caused our project start date to move back 3 days however Steve let me know early in the week and I was able to accomodate without any issues. On the day of the project, they arrived on time. Their prepwork was perfect, no extra pain on the carpet or trim. We had them paint 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living, and family room (walls only) before we moved into a new home. End results looked great! They were even able to patch up a hole in the wall were the previous owners and run cables through. All in all, the wife and I were extremely happy with the end result. I anticipate calling them in spring for some more work (likely exterior/deck staining) and maybe another bedroom. Thank you."

Professional painters can complete an exterior door painting project in one to three hours, not including drying time. The timeline depends on the door's condition, required preparation, and the number of coats needed.
Weather conditions significantly impact drying times, with high humidity or extreme temperatures extending the process. Most doors require 24 to 48 hours of curing time before resuming normal use.
While removing the door provides optimal access to all surfaces and edges, many professional painters achieve excellent results with the door remaining in place. For in-position painting, proper hardware protection and masking are essential. Door removal becomes more beneficial when dealing with significant damage, when painting both sides simultaneously, or when making dramatic color changes that require extra coats.
The ideal paint for exterior doors is a high-quality, weather-resistant formulation designed specifically for outdoor conditions. Acrylic latex paints offer excellent moisture resistance and color retention, while oil-based options provide superior hardness for high-traffic areas. Semi-gloss or gloss finishes repel dirt and moisture more effectively than flat finishes. Door material also influences paint selection—metal doors benefit from rust-inhibiting formulas, while wood doors may require specialized primers.
Hiring a professional delivers superior results for exterior door painting, especially for front entrances where appearance matters most. Professionals bring specialized equipment, extensive experience, and efficient techniques that ensure a smooth, durable finish.
While DIY painting saves on labor costs, you'll need proper tools, adequate preparation knowledge, and sufficient time to achieve comparable results. For complex door styles or when changing colors dramatically, professional expertise often justifies the additional expense.
