"S&M Painting and Restoration is a great firm to retain to have work completed on your home or business. They performed reconstruction of wood trim around dormers, screen porch and roof trim (three stories high). Excellent work. They also did fantastic work painting the house. Retaining S&M to do both the wood restoration and painting in one project saved a lot of money and made managing the project / contractors much easier. Mike, the owner of S&M, is a great person to work with. He is an exceptionally hard worker, hands on at the job, with a great team of people working with him. Mike stayed many nights until dark to keep the job on track. One of the greatest qualities of MIke and S&M is that they are willing to go the extra mile on anything that needs a little extra work. They do not nickel and dime you with change orders, extras, etc. The final price was exactly what they quoted. I would highly recommend Mike and S&M for any project. "

7 Employee painters. Owner operated. No subcontractors. Fully insured with general liability and workers compensation. Project cost determined by job. No travel charges. May contact via phone/email/fax. Award winning. **When requesting services please leave email and/or phone number.
"Our experience with ESP Painting was fantastic. Both the owner, Eric, and the job foreman, Mike, were clear and transparent in all communications. Scheduling is always a little uncertain as previous jobs may take longer or shorter depending on weather, but once they were on site at our home, we were the priority and we felt it. They explained options (including options for things that we had never heard of, like the type of finish on a door frame), gave us time to think about it, and were always clear and up front about any problems that they encountered. They used our garage for staging, a basement sink for cleaning brushes, and our bathroom for hygiene; they were always professional and kept the areas that they used clean. They were also easy to work with when small logistical challenges cropped up, like needing to park the painting trucks in a different location so that appliances could be delivered. Most importantly, they did a fantastic, thorough, and safe job on the painting. We will absolutely reach out to them the next time we need painting, and we will recommend them to anyone who listens."

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.
