"I would highly recommend this for exterior paint jobs. Keenan (owner) was professional, thorough, and detail oriented. He promptly responds to text messages and accommodates last minute changes. My wife and I are so pleased with the result. He replaced rotting boards, sanded and caulked, masked, and painted our trim, shutters, door, and shakes. As a comparison, we had our house painted a few years ago by another company and the quality of the workmanship by Keenan is far superior. I wish I had “before” pictures. Best of all, his pricing was extremely competitive. I would definitely use his company for future projects, including interior renovations based on this experience."

Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.
"I recently hired Heavenly Investments to finish my entire basement, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work. While I selected the drywall category for this review, they truly handled everything: framing, drywall installation, mudding, taping, tiling, and a full cleanup. It was a complete transformation. What stood out most was how quickly they fit me into their schedule and how much care they put into every detail. They treated my home like it was their own, focusing on both the quality of their work and keeping the space clean. I never had to call in another crew for cleanup - they left the basement spotless. They also installed tile flooring over concrete throughout the basement, and the result is absolutely beautiful. It’s clear they take pride in their work. We’re extremely happy and already planning to use them again. I highly recommend Heavenly Investments to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality work."

Check out our video on our website! Award winning. Additional email - row@somersetpainting.com.
"I had high hopes for Somerset painting. Their contract implies a detail oriented company who believes that preparation is key, and to that end, promise preparation and "hand sanding all woodwork being painted...all glossy surfaces must be scuffed to insure a bond...," "removing hardware including striker plates, door handles, and electrical covers," "drop ceiling fixtures," "repair severe dings in painted doors, trim and base using Bondo," "caulk all your seams as necessary." The quotes are directly from the contract we agreed to. This was a job that had two different crews assigned; and both crews made the same mistakes. Somerset painting relies on the use of subcontractors. There was no QA person actually overseeing the job, and that is were things went very wrong. My sense was that both sets of subcontractors were more interested in getting the job done quickly rather than thoroughly. The lack of "eyes on the job" means the painters do want they want, how they want, without oversight. Somerset painting relies on return visits for "touch ups" rather than getting it right the first time. I appreciate the owner inspecting and apologizing for the work. But, there is a disconnect between the "management" and the actual painters to the point that the front office offered to send back out the team of painters responsible for most of my grief to fix errors. So, what actually happened...If you walked into my house you would say it looked great; nice neutral color palate, freshly painted trim. But, the devil is in the details. It took their QA guy, three or four visits, and additional days of work to re-sand, repaint, and re-caulk. My previously painted white alkyl trim was covered with white latex, without any prep despite the fact that I asked for oil based trim paint. There are areas I can scrape the latex off with my finger nail. I basically got a white wash job. I am, two months after the completion of the job, finding door and window casings not completely painted, drips on walls and six panel doors. I have spent that last two months removing, cleaning, and replacing painted hinges, door knobs and striker plates. I haven't even started my floors yet. During the job, either my husband or I were present. I did, in real time, ask for remedial action from the painters if something was not done right. But, I was put in the uncomfortable position of trying to manage their work; around my going to and coming from my own work. Lastly, the most obvious faux pas: Paint and energy drink spills that required carpet replacement. Paint cans left on carpeting, open, without so much as a drop cloth underneath at the end of the day. A toilet plugged up. Bathroom sinks used for paint brush rinse out. Paint spots on the decking going into and out of my house; paint spilled in the garage where empty cans of paint were placed."

Exterior home or structure paint or stains FAQs
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.
