Why should I repaint my home?

Exterior painting holds both aesthetic and functional advantages. A fresh paint job not only looks good, but it provides your house with an added layer of protection from the elements, such as insects, dust and weather damage.

A new look can also help your house stand out. A quality exterior paint job is the most important step in creating an aesthetic curb appeal, which will increase your resale value. Assessing your home for a new paint job can help you identify larger problems to your home’s exterior, such as water stains, mold, mildew and rotting wood. Once these problems are addressed, a new, solid paint job can prevent future damages from appearing.

How do I know if it’s time to paint the outside of my home?

Obvious signs such as chipped and cracked paint show that your home needs exterior painting, but your home might be due for a paint job sooner than you’d expect.

How long can my home go before it needs a repaint?

  • Wood siding — 3-7 years
  • Cement fiberboard siding — 10-15 years
  • Stucco — 5-6 years
  • Aluminum siding — 5 years
  • Brick — 15-20 years

Garrett Painting’s Expert Crew

Garrett Painting Company Values

Our expert crew of painters and customer service professionals specialize in exterior painting, interior painting, cabinet re-finishing, commercial painting and floor coating. Our painting services include exterior staining, power washing and color consultation.

At Garrett Painting, we live by four company values: Integrity, reliability, quality and experience.

Integrity: We value honesty in every aspect of our business and expect it from each member of our team, and we believe good communication builds trust — the foundation of a solid relationship. You can expect integrity in each conversation and transaction with Garrett Painting.

Reliability: Our number one priority is to get your project done in the time frame you desire with minimal disruption to your personal or work environment. Garrett Painting will arrive on-time and ready to get to work.

Quality: We believe in quality over quantity. Our trained professionals offer high-level attention to detail and cleanliness, while being courteous and pleasant to work with. We use the best products and stand behind our work. We do the job right the first time.

Experience: With more than 20 years in business since our founding in 2000, you can trust that we will handle your project, big or small, with expertise, professionalism and unmatched care. Because your home is our workspace, we carefully control the work environment to respect you and your property.

Along with these values, we pair our high-quality service with high-quality paints, such as those from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. High-quality paints have more prime pigments, which provide an easier application, have a greater durability and show better color retention. High-end paint allows for a long-lasting paint job, especially in high-traffic areas like entryways, kitchens and bathrooms.

With its increased durability, quality paint results in less peeling, cracking, scuffing, fingerprints, fading and chalking.

Quality paint not only provides beautiful color to your spaces, but it also protects against mildew and spoilage. Lower-quality paints do not contain as many binders (resins), which serve as a protectant.

While investing in a place as important as your home, you want someone you can trust to get the job done — and get it done right. Contact us today to set up a consultation or receive an estimate. We look forward to helping you achieve your painting visions for the year 2023!
