"We recently hired Valentine Painting to paint the exterior of our home. The house is 30+ years old and is two stories with cedar siding. I reached out to several companies for quotes on the job. All of the people who came out would do a quick walk around the house with me, observing what was needed, but making few or no notes. The one exception to this was Jim Valentine. Jim walked around our house several times taking pictures and videos with his phone and making extensive, detailed notes on everything that needed to be done. When he was done, I felt confident that there would be little or no unforeseen "surprises" once the job got underway--which proved to be true. To be honest, there were a couple of bids that came in slightly under his, but I got a strong impression that Valentine Painting would do a superior job. In retrospect, I think this impression was correct. Carpentry work was needed for the following items: replacements of cracked and damaged siding, repairs to an exterior door and its frame, and the complete replacement of our front door and frame. Valentine sent two carpenters out and within two days they had completed the extensive repairs and done all of the prep work for painting. Next a crew of 6 or 7 painters came out and applied two coats of paint to all of the walls, trim, doors, windows and shutters. Within three days they had completed the work and had done an excellent job. Both Jim and his crew were a pleasure to work with. The crew was very professional, conscientious and very friendly. All of the members of the crew worked hard and seemed to take a lot of pride in their work. All of the crew worked well together and seemed to be happy, which usually indicates that they like the company they are working for and are treated well. (This is an important factor for me.) When they were done, they did a very good job of cleaning up after themselves. I've been sitting here trying to think of any negatives to report, but there honestly are not any. But most of all, the house looks great now! I've actually had several times when I'm out in my front yard and neighbors I've never met that are passing by have stopped to tell me how good it looks. The overall experience with Valentine Painting was pleasant and impressive! So, yeah...I can recommend them strongly!"

"Edsel was excellent to work with along with Jamie. They were always quick to respond to my questions and concerns. My project was painting the exterior of a 3 story building and their crew worked hard and with safety in mind as they worked off their ladders. I look forward to hiring them to paint the inside of my home"

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.
