"We had Phil from Rafferty Painting here for the last 1.5 days. He made a 5 sided angular box around a fire sprinkler head, covered it with drywall and painted it to perfectly match the wall. He then fixed cracks in the ceiling and painted it to match.(others said it couldn't be matched). He arrived on time, cleaned up after himself and was very friendly and courteous. The final price was comparable to estimates from other contractors and we are happy with his work. I don't know about the other painters/carpenters at Rafferty but I would definitely recommend Phil."

"Right up front - Will and Xander did a great job!!! Let's start with the quote process - Will was prompt to respond to our inquiry, he scheduled a time to meet just a couple of days later at our convenience and he showed up a little early for the walk thru. He took notes throughout, asked really good questions and performed the walk thru. He was interested in performing the work (not something we found from others) and said he would email the quote to us. We received the quote when Will said it would be there and it was thorough with enough details to ensure that we were on the same page for the work requested. We actually reached back out to ask about an additional item and Will provided the additional costing which was extremely reasonable. We reviewed the quotes we received and accepted his quote as the best for us to move forward with for the work we wanted. Will was professional through out the process and we agreed on a starting date. He reached out a couple of days prior to the starting date to discuss the starting date to confirm that we were still good for the date and he provided a time he would be there. The team was there 10 minutes prior to get their equipment and paint unloaded so they would be ready to come inside on-time. They brought in floor covers to protect the floors and kept their work areas clean throughout. Will communicated openly with us throughout and moved efficiently from task to task. We had identified some blemishes in the drywall in the initial walk thru and also wanted to remove some items that had been installed through the drywall. All of the work was completed and even after the first day, we were already seeing a difference. What a great feeling! Over the next few days, Will and Xander were there everyday on time (five minutes early) and cleaned up at the end of each day. The rooms we had worked on presented some complexities as we have 16 foot ceilings in some spaces and odd angles. They knocked it out and had all the right equipment to get it done and it was done right! No complaints on the quality of their work, cleanliness, punctuality or skill. Overall, our experience was outstanding and we will definitely call Will if we need anything additional done. Actually already discussed additional painting work and other home improvements we have on the drawing board."

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.
