Bay Area House Painters

It’s that time of year again and where homeowners are busy lining up their exterior home improvement projects before winter sets in again in several months. The sun is out (in case you weren’t sure) and things are hopping. Painting contractors are painting exteriors in a flurry and hiring painters to assist with their paint jobs in order to fill all the customers orders.

So, you are thinking – “great” – I better get off the stump and get my painting contractor to come over and get me a bid so my home can get painted this summer while the painting contractor can still get me on the calendar for the year. I’ll need to go down to the paint store and pick out some color charts that way when the contractor arrives I’ll be ready and not waste their time.

Next – I’ll need to decide the color scheme I want my house to be painted. Do I want the sheen to be flat or satin? Do I want the walls to be flat and the trim semi-gloss? Or, perhaps I might want the entire home to be a low sheen. After all, that is quite popular nowadays. What about under the eves? Do I want them to be the same color as the walls? Or, is this perhaps the time to introduce a third or forth color? How about the walls are color #1, the trim and underhang color #2, the front door color #3 and the mailbox and exterior lamps color #4?

I wonder how long exterior painting takes? My home is an average size 2 story home of about 2000 sf with minimal preperation and the color scheme won’t be too complicated. Is it possible a 5 man crew can get this done in a few short days or will a couple guys drag this out for 2 weeks? It would be a bummer to come home every day for 2 weeks tripping over drop clothes as I get out of my car.

Well. I gotta go. Can think about this later. In the meantime – will call my painting contractor to get my free painting estimate scheduled.

Now if my painting contractor does a wonderful job on painting my house than I will want to refer them to my friends around the bay area including Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta areas. However, I realize that not all painting companies will travel those huge distances but some will to keep wonderful customers happy and their referrals as well. Also, some are just simply set up that way to cover the entire region.

It will interesting to ask my painting contractor if they offer painting services to all of the following counties and would be considered:
