Exterior paint is specifically formulated to withstand the elements and protect your home's exterior from moisture, UV rays, and temperature changes. At Legacy Painting Company, we use high-quality exterior paint that is typically made from a combination of acrylic and latex. These types of paint offer a number of benefits:

Water-based: Acrylic and latex paints are water-based, which means they are easy to clean up and have a low odor compared to oil-based paints.

Good Durability: Acrylic and latex paints are durable and can withstand harsh outdoor conditions. They also hold up well to fading caused by UV rays and will maintain their finish for longer.

Flexibility: Acrylic and latex paints are flexible, which means they can expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or peeling. This is especially important for exterior surfaces that are exposed to temperature fluctuations.

UV resistance: Acrylic and latex paint are also UV resistant, which means they will not fade as quickly as other types of paint when exposed to the sun.

We are proud to use Sherwin-Williams, or Benjamin Moore paints for our exterior painting projects, as these are among the industry's most popular and respected paint brands. They have a wide range of colors and finishes available that will provide your home with a fresh and updated look. However, we can also accommodate any preference you have regarding paint brands.

Inspection and preparation: Our team will thoroughly inspect your home's exterior, identifying any areas that need repair or replacement before painting. We will also remove any loose or flaking paint, and pressure wash the surfaces to remove dirt, grime, and mildew.

Surface preparation: We will repair any cracks, holes, or damaged areas and prime all surfaces to ensure a smooth and even finish.

Masking and protection: We will mask and protect all windows, doors, and trim to prevent paint from getting on them. We will also cover any landscaping or outdoor furniture to keep them free of paint.

Painting: We will begin by painting the trim and other detailed areas, then move on to the larger surfaces. Our team will use high-quality paint brushes, rollers, and spray equipment to ensure a smooth and even finish.

Drying and inspection: We will allow the paint to dry entirely before inspecting the surfaces for any touch-ups or additional coats.

Clean-up: Our team will remove all masking and protection and clean up the site to leave your home looking brand new.

Final inspection: Our team will conduct a final walk-through with you to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the results.

Please note that the actual steps and the duration of the project may vary depending on the size and condition of the house, the amount of prep work required, and the weather conditions.

Choosing the right paint color for a room can be challenging, as the color you choose can significantly affect the overall look and feel of the space. Some critical factors to consider when choosing a paint color include the following:

The size of the room: Lighter colors can help make a small room appear larger and more open, while darker colors can make a large room feel more cozy and intimate.

The amount of natural light the room receives: Rooms that receive a lot of natural light can handle stronger, brighter colors, while rooms with less natural light may benefit from lighter, more neutral tones.

The colors of existing furniture and decor: The colors of existing furniture and decor in a room can significantly influence your chosen paint color. You may want to choose a paint color that complements or enhances the existing colors in the space or a paint color that contrasts with the existing colors to create a more striking look.

Personal preference: Ultimately, the paint color you choose should be one that you love and feel comfortable with.

To ensure that you're happy with your choice, it's recommended to test the color with a paint sample before committing to a complete paint job. This will give you a better idea of how the color will look in the room with different lighting conditions and allow you to make changes if needed.

Painting over wallpaper can present a umber of challenges, as wallpaper can have a different texture, pattern, and porosity than the drywall or plaster underneath. This can make it challenging to achieve a smooth, even finish when painting over wallpaper. Additionally, if the wallpaper is not adequately sealed or prepped before painting, it can cause issues such as peeling, bubbling, or cracking.

Here are a few examples of issues that can occur when painting over wallpaper:

Uneven finish: If the wallpaper is textured or has a raised pattern, it can be difficult to achieve a smooth finish when painting over it. This can result in an uneven or patchy appearance, with the wallpaper's texture showing through the paint.

Peeling or bubbling: If the wallpaper is not sealed correctly or prepped before painting, the paint may not adhere well to the surface, causing it to peel or bubble over time.

Staining: If the wallpaper is made from a porous material, it can absorb paint and create a stained appearance.

Difficulty in touch-ups: If you need to touch up the paint in the future, it can be difficult to match the paint color to the wallpaper and may cause the touch-up to be noticeable.

For these reasons, removing the wallpaper is generally recommended before painting. Our team will remove the wallpaper and adequately seal and prep the surface before applying paint to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish.

It's worth noting that if the wallpaper is in good condition and securely adhered to the wall, it may be possible to paint over it with a specific type of paint called wallpaper paint designed to go over the wallpaper. However, it's best to consult with a professional to assess the condition of the wallpaper and determine if this is a viable option. We can help with that!

A room painting project with Legacy Painting Company is a detailed and thorough process that includes the following steps:

Preparing the surfaces: Before any paint is applied, we remove any dirt, dust, or grime that can affect the paint's adhesion. We will also patch any holes or cracks in the walls to ensure a smooth surface for painting.

Protecting floors and furniture: To protect your floors and furniture from paint splatters and drips, we will cover them with drop cloths or plastic sheeting. We will also remove switch plates, outlet covers, and other hardware to ensure a clean, complete paint job.

Painting the surfaces: Our team will use high-quality paint brushes and rollers to ensure a smooth, even finish. We will also pay attention to the details, like cutting in around the edges and ensuring a neat and clean finish.

Allowing the paint to dry: After the paint has been applied, we will allow it to dry according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This is a crucial step as it ensures that the paint is cured correctly before it is inspected for touch-ups or additional coats.

Inspect the surfaces for touch-ups or additional coats: Once the paint has dried, our team will carefully inspect the surfaces for any areas needing touch-ups or additional coats. We will make sure that the paint is even and smooth and that all areas have been covered.

Cleaning up and removing protection: Once the painting is complete, we will remove the protection we placed on your floors and furniture and clean up the area. We will also return any hardware that was removed during the preparation process.

We understand that a room painting project can disrupt your daily routine, so we will work with you to schedule the project conveniently and minimize disruptions. We will also keep you informed throughout the process and provide you with a final walk-through to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the results.

Yes, Legacy Painting Company can paint your kitchen cabinets. We have experience in painting kitchen cabinets, and we use high-quality paint and techniques to ensure a smooth and durable finish. Our team will take the necessary steps to prepare, paint and finish your kitchen cabinets to give them a fresh, updated look.

Here are the steps of the process:

Preparation: Before any paint is applied, we will thoroughly clean the surfaces of your cabinets to remove any dirt, grime, or grease that can affect the paint's adhesion. We will also remove the cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware to make sure we can paint all surfaces evenly.

Several types of paint are available for kitchen cabinets, each with unique properties and benefits. Some of the most common types of cabinet paint include:

Oil-based paint: Oil-based paint is a traditional option for kitchen cabinets. It is durable, easy to clean, and resistant to moisture and heat. However, it has a strong odor, requires a longer drying time, and can be harder to work with than other types of paint.

Latex paint: Latex paint is a water-based paint that is popular for kitchen cabinets. It is easy to clean, dries quickly, and has a low odor. It also offers a wide range of finishes, including high-gloss, semi-gloss, satin, and matte. However, it may not be as durable as oil-based paint and may not hold up as well in high-moisture environments.

Acrylic paint: Acrylic paint is a water-based paint that is similar to latex paint. It is easy to clean, dries quickly, and has a low odor. It also offers a wide range of finishes, including high-gloss, semi-gloss, satin, and matte. Acrylic paint is also more flexible than oil-based paint, making it less likely to crack or peel over time.

Alkyd paint: Alkyd paint is a synthetic oil-based paint that is similar to traditional oil-based paint but is more durable, dries faster, and has less odor. It is also more flexible than oil-based paint, making it less likely to crack or peel over time.

Chalk paint: Chalk paint is a water-based paint that is designed to give a rustic, distressed look to your kitchen cabinets. This type of paint requires no sanding or priming before application and can be used to create a unique, vintage look on your kitchen cabinets.

We will work with you to determine the best type of paint for your kitchen cabinets, considering factors such as durability, finish, ease of cleaning, and budget.
