"Shelton Painting, Inc. subcontracted our exterior house painting job to Alexis Painting, LLC. Items of note for Shelton/Alexis: - Alexis Painting parked in our driveway, blocking us from getting into our garage, and did not move when we came home. - Alexis asked once for water, which we were happy to provide. A few hours later they knocked on our door and asked for more water when two other painters showed up. - Even though the Shelton Painting quote stated, “no exterior painting should be done immediately after a rain, during foggy weather, or when rain is predicted” Alexis painted our house up to the point it started to rain (rain was in the forecast for the whole day). The paint was not dry when the rain started. - The masking Alexis used at the base of our house blew up during the rain shower and stuck to the wet paint (there was nothing weighing down the plastic masking). We, as homeowners, had to go out and peel the masking off of the house and weigh it down. The masking left a texture in the paint. Some paint was also stuck to the masking. When Shelton was called about this issue, Todd was angry/defensive and stated “it all can be fixed.” They did “fix” it, but there is still a slight texture in the paint. - The painters left empty pop cans, bottle caps, and we found a razor knife blade in the lawn when they left for the day. Our child could easily have run though the grass and gotten cut. - Came home one day (after work) to find two painters sleeping under our tree. When we woke them up and asked what was happening they stated they were waiting on material. As they did not seem to have a vehicle at our home, I assume they were dropped off and left to work. I don’t want to think about where they went to the bathroom during the day. They lied back down after talking to us and appeared to go back to sleep. - Alexis painted our front door shut (to the weather stripping). The painters had to use a razor knife to separate the door from the weather stripping. A paint ridge was left on the door where the weatherstripping meets the door. Our overall impression is Shelton Painting does not manage their subcontractors. Shelton’s subcontractor (Alexis Painting) lacks professionalism. However, the overall painting Alexis performed seemed fine. Shelton Painting does not seem to know what is going on with their subs, and at least in our case, they were more about telling you why you are wrong then trying to make it right. For us, there was too much drama in working with Shelton Painting and their sub, Alexis Painting."

"Have used AA Painting in the past and was pleased. This past summer I had my ceiling sprayed and was happy with the how it looked immediately. 6 months later I began to see some cracking in the paint, but was not completely concerned. A couple weeks later it began to start peeling off like a river birch. At this time I called and left Don a voicemail, and sent an email. Waited a week to follow up again, still nothing. After multiple emails and voicemails with photos of the issues, I have not received a response. I was not even that mad as things happen, but to disappear when your work is being questioned has me really disappointed. When speaking with other painters they have told me this issue was due to too much paint too fast (coats not completely curing)."

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.
