"Mark was very friendly, professional, responsive and finished the job a timely manner. He gave us a fair estimate and was able to accurately describe the scope of the project up front. We had just bought a 1967 ranch that needed updating and Mark and his team removed some paneling and layers of old painted wallpaper from almost every room in the house, repaired the walls and painted our new house to get it ready for us to move in and make our home. He was also knowledgeable about helping us choose the right paint color and finish. He even stood by his work and helped us fix a snafu weeks later in the bathroom due us not having a working fan. I highly recommend Color Concepts."

"We are giving one star because zero stars were unavailable! My husband and I received a quote from this company to paint and clear coat our fences. We thought the quote was high but once Seth described the process, we felt it was reasonable, as his process was very labor intensive. It included removing all the old paint from our fences and repainting. Seth said “it was the only way to ensure the job is completed properly.” When he and his partner arrived at our home, they proceeded to perform a process much less labor intensive than what was quoted originally to us. When I questioned him about this he said I misunderstood and they could not take the old paint off the fences. My husband and I thought we were due a credit but that was not to be. So for about two days work, Seth and his partner received $3,200! We may not have minded so much if the work was excellent but it was actually extremely subpar! And when I brought his attention to the poor workmanship Seth said “they would never have left it that way. The wood must have pushed out the sealer.” I have worked as a director of design and construction and facilities for forty years. I have never met such an unprofessional company before. Seth told me he would be sending us a check for $500 for the unprofessional work. That was about ten days ago and still no check. I’m not surprised. I could go on with a similar but worse story regarding our decks but I will end this review by saying that we would never use nor recommend this company to anyone. I recently learned that our neighbor was also very unhappy with the work completed at their home by this company and she would never use them again either. If you decide to use this company, regardless of this terrible review, just beware."

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.
