How Often Should I Paint the Exterior of My House?

In general, houses need a thorough paint job every 5-10 years. The key is to not wait to long. Once paint house reaches obvious signs of deterioration it will cost more to get it back up to specs. According to BetterHomes & Gardens, “The trick to saving money when it comes to painting your home is scheduling a paint job before it becomes an issue—not after.”

A big part of a quality paint job is preparation. The longer a house goes without new paint the more prep work is required in cleaning, scraping, sanding, priming and caulking. Sooner is better. Give us a call and we’ll get on it and get it done right the first time. Mike 541-497-3804

Homburg Gray Color of the Month February 2023

Homburg Gray is an alluring neutral hue with a little mystery, shifting its look and mood with the light. Bright, open spaces filled with natural light pull its earthy green undertones. And in darker settings, it reveals its deeper blue green character as the more refined side of its personality emerges. Its easy adaptability and versatile style give it a place throughout the home.

Too Cool for Pool

When Albany realized it needed to upgrade the color scheme on the pool building at Swanson Park, they called the Doctor. Two tone blue was the right choice of color and Paint Doctor’s Painting was the right choice of contractor.

Flat Black Wall

We thought this flat black wall was pretty cool. You can’t get much more neutral than black so any décor colors will pop when added to the scene to create the look you want.

Color used: Sherwin-Williams Black Magic.

Base Cabinet Color Upgrade

The current trend of painting base cabinets with an accent color adds visual interest to this home. Notice how the wall cabinets, countertops, appliances and walls are all neutral colors.

Considering a cabinet color change? It could be just what the Doctor prescribes.

Blue Sky SW0063 by Sherwin-Williams made a big difference in this kitchen.

Stop, Drop and Roll

You should include some quality drop cloths in your homeowner painting and remodeling kit. Hardly a painting project can be done without this vital protection to the floor surfaces in your home or office.

Several runner drops designed for hallways and room perimeters should be the backbone of your drop cloth supplies. These are commonly available in 4 feet by 12 feet or 4 feet by 15 feet and are very versatile for many of your touchup projects. After getting your runners, decide how large your room size drop cloth should be – perhaps a 9’x12′ or 10’x20′

Good drop clothes are heavy enough weight to stay in place, have a canvas absorbent side and a moisture blocking side. We recommend that you buy good quality and plan to keep your drop cloths for years of use.

Of course to get a good long life from your drop cloths, you need to take care of them – making sure they are clean of debris and dry before putting them away. Be sure to store them in a dry location as well. Our rainy area can cause stored drop cloths to deteriorate if they are not kept dry.

As we often say, painting is mostly prep and drop cloths are a big part of the prep before you take the lid off of that paint can!
