"I believe they cut corners. They move something for me that was not in the scope of their practice damaged my wall in my house and didn?t take ownership to it, but I didn?t even hold that against them. It?s the fact that I went to mop my new floors that they put in the garage with the epoxy, and it started chipping up already just under a month after having them done when I contacted them they told me they did exactly as instructed and there was nothing else they could do for me basically weren?t gonna make it right. I?ve uploaded photos just to show that I?m not an angry Karen. I?m just very sad that they seem like really nice people, but they were just in it to make a dollar quick work and not quality. I was going to hire them for our company as we are about to be a new homebuilder. I?m glad I experimented on my own house and not what I?m selling. I uploaded pictures to show the paint chipping up off of the garage floor, and then the damage of The wall inside"

"The project involved painting the entire exterior, as well as the interior common area walls, doors, baseboards, and moldings. After considering three contractors, we chose Real Deal Curb Appeal (RDCA) for their affordability and the value they offered. Overall, we are satisfied with the finished product; however, its execution was not flawless and required a significant amount of unexpected oversight to meet our desired expectations. On a more positive note, Eric and his team went above and beyond to address all of our concerns, showcasing a genuine commitment to ensuring the job was thoroughly complete. I would consider RDCA for future jobs and have recommended them to friends and family."

"I HIGHLY recommend Painter1 of Dallas! They absolutely go ABOVE AND BEYOND. They did a wonderful job painting my office walls, ceiling, interior doors and door jams.

They took exellent care of my space with prep and clean up. Above all, their customer service is unmatched. Dave and Emma are a true pleasure to work with...their communication, scheduling and execution far exceeded my expectations of a painting company. They did a final walk through and even stopped by within a few days when I noticed a few areas that needed retouching. I truly cannot recommend Painter1 enough for anyone in the DFW area. This was a big project I hired them to get off of my plate and I am so glad that I did. I trust their work and they stand by it. Thank you so much for my beautiful new office, Painter1!!"

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.
