"I recently purchased a new home, and like many older houses, it needed a lot of TLC. Thankfully, I found Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. From the moment I met Brad, I knew I was in good hands. He's not just a contractor; he's a genuine, friendly, and incredibly respectful professional who goes above and beyond. Brad's work was truly outstanding. He expertly prepped and painted the entire interior of my house, transforming it from a dated space into a bright and welcoming home. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the finish is flawless. But Brad didn't stop there. He's a true multi-talented individual. He also tackled a range of other essential tasks, including: • Plumbing Repairs: He expertly replaced my kitchen sink and shower head, and efficiently fixed a leak in my downstairs bathroom sink. Problems that would have taken me days to resolve, he handled with speed and professionalism. • Security Upgrades: He changed all the door locks, providing me with peace of mind and enhanced security. What truly sets Brad apart is his personality. He's not only amazing at what he does but also incredibly funny and easy to talk to. He made the entire renovation process enjoyable and stress-free. He kept me informed every step of the way, and his communication was excellent. Brad's work is a testament to his dedication and skill. He treats your home as if it were his own, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in everything he does. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and personable contractor, look no further than Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. You won't be disappointed. He has earned my highest recommendation.

"What great service! I emailed a query on a Saturday and received a reply within a few hours. When Bill and Dane came to evaluate and measure for preparing an estimate, the arrived within the expected timeframe. They took off their shoes to walk around, and provided good explanations about options. Their estimate was similar in cost to another one. In addition to their friendliness and helpfulness, one of the reasons I chose Gunner to do the job was that they had a portable machine for blowing insulation. I was thrilled when I found that out. (Otherwise, there would have been the hassle of having a really long hose going through the condo building, and I would have needed to have someone watch the propped-open security door the whole time.) On the day of the job, one worker arrived within 15 minutes of the set time -- which was acceptable given that he was coming from Chisago City down to Eagan. He laid down lots of drop cloths and drilled the holes. An issue arose when he discovered that there was some old insulation in the walls shared by adjoining units. He found that out after drilling one hole, and immediately told me that meant they couldn't blow cellulose into those walls. The company adjusted the price a bit to compensate for that. The two other workers arrived a bit after the prep work was done, so I'd given them an A- for punctuality. After the job was done, they did a great job cleaning up. There was a problem with their relatively new vacuum breaking down, but they finished the clean up using mine. Overall: excellent! My only disappointment is that the Gunner guys don't provide mudding the holes as part of the service; they insert plugs, but that's it. They will arrange for another contractor to do the mudding/patching, but, due to the distance their local guy would have had to drive, that option was too expensive. (Another company's estimate for insulation included their guys patching the holes, "feathered" for flat and stable, with only some light sanding needed. I would have gone with them, except they didn't have a portable machine.)"

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.
