"We are writing to share our experience with the Sac painting crew. Our very old home desperately needed to have a fresh coat of paint on the clapboards and trim. In fact, several locations needed sanding and staining. After meeting with the Sac team, my wife and I decided they were right for us. They were honest and forthright during negotiations and very reasonably priced. We felt comfortable engaging them and we are glad we did. At the final inspection of their work the site manager noticed some spot that needed additional attention which they handled without any extra charge to us. The Sac staff were very professional and neat, using drop cloths and picking up any trash at the end of each day… which was important to us. Upon completion, they left our property clean and presentable. We plan to have them handle additional work for us. We can recommend this company without reservation. P. & C. Collins"

"I recently had the exterior of my house painted and couldn't be happier with the results, thanks to John's Painting and Pressure Washing. After getting several estimates, I happened to see John and his crew working on a house at the corner of my block. Over the next few days, I watched the quality of their work and was really impressed, so I stopped by to ask for his card. John’s estimate was fair and well within the range I was looking to spend. He was very professional throughout the entire process, and the quality of work he and his crew delivered was exceptional. The attention to detail and care they put into the job truly shows.

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.
