"Project: Interior Painting and Ceiling Repair Cost: $6,800 Work Done: March 2025 (Still incomplete as of June 2025) Overall Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 out of 5 stars) At first, things started off well—the contractor was friendly, punctual, and seemed professional. The scope of work included interior painting and a small ceiling patch due to prior water damage. However, the ceiling repair turned into a much larger hole, and the contractor suggested we bring in a plumber—even though the leak had already been addressed. He referred us to a plumber who initially responded via text, then completely ghosted us. We had to hire a second plumber who thoroughly inspected the area (including with a camera scope) and confirmed there was no leak. The painting was mostly completed, with the exception of the ceiling area. We were told to reach out once the plumbing was resolved. I notified the contractor on April 8 that we were ready for the patch to be finished, and he replied that his schedule was tight but he would “squeeze us back in.” As of June 8, we’ve heard nothing further. I followed up recently requesting the ceiling paint spec since it was clear we’d need to find someone else. I had hoped for an apology or explanation—something—but instead just received the paint info. Since the painter "finished" the job we’ve noticed multiple issues: • Paint splatters on our carpet • Missed spots on walls • Unpainted trim at the bottom of the front door The total quote was $6,800, and we paid $6,500—holding the final $300 until completion as requested by the painter. Now, I’ll have to spend additional money, which will likely be more then the $300 to patch and finish the ceiling after waiting more than four months. Bottom line: I would not hire this contractor again. The lack of follow-through and poor attention to detail were extremely disappointing."

Michael & Son is family owned & operated and has been servicing the Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC area for over 30 years. We take great pride in providing our customers with the highest quality plumbing services. Our professional and courteous staff are here to help you with whatever projects you need to get done.
"Was it the worst experience...? Was it the best experience...? Neither. Yes, I have hot water. Yes, the piping looks great for the tankless hot water. But, they had to come back a 2nd time to fill in the hole. See pictures. Yes, I was taken advantage of. I paid way too much. The final bill matched the estimate but in retrospect it was too much. Customer service simply stopped once I started challenging the work that was done. I have a large pipe sticking out of my condo that is unsightly. After I asked to have it corrected I was ignored. I would not recommend this company."

A single gallon of exterior paint covers approximately 350-400 square feet, which translates to eight to 12 standard-sized shutters, depending on their dimensions. Factors affecting coverage include shutter material, surface condition, and application method. Porous surfaces like weathered wood may require additional paint, while smooth vinyl surfaces might need less. Always purchase slightly more paint than your calculations suggest to avoid running short.
Each application method has distinct advantages. Spray painting creates a smooth, even finish and works well for louvered or detailed shutters, but requires more preparation to prevent overspray. Brushing allows for better control and paint penetration into crevices, though it takes longer and may show brush marks. Your choice should depend on the shutter design and whether the shutters will be painted in place or removed.
Exterior shutters need repainting every four to seven years, though this varies based on climate conditions, sun exposure, and shutter material. Signs that indicate repainting is needed include fading, chalking, cracking, or peeling paint. Wood shutters in humid or rainy environments may require more frequent attention than those in drier climates. Regular inspections help identify when maintenance is needed before damage occurs.
Removing shutters before painting offers several advantages, including easier access to all surfaces and hardware. This approach allows for more thorough preparation and eliminates the risk of paint getting on surrounding surfaces. However, removal adds time to the project and presents challenges with second-story shutters. If safety concerns or hardware issues make removal difficult, on-site painting with proper masking and drop cloths is a viable alternative.
Painting shutters is significantly more economical than replacement when the underlying structure remains sound. With replacement costs ranging from $45 to $420 per shutter plus installation, repainting at $4 to $33 per shutter represents substantial savings. However, if shutters show significant structural damage, warping, or deterioration, replacement might prove more cost-effective long-term. The decision should balance current condition, desired appearance, and budget considerations.
