What did it cost? Really curious why they would roll when they could spray it on - no real difference. Did you make a significant change to the color?

Spraying uses too much paint, painted our house & out buildings in NJ better thicker coverage, but uses way more paint

5 homes were painted same week with other companies, two already are showing fading in direct sun. One that was sprayed in a day already looks like it was never painted. Ours is second year, no color change from direct sun walls, or complete shade wall. Last edited by thelegges; 07-18-2019 at 02:47 AM. |

Heres a word of advice if you're thinking about repainting your home... The sun is constantly penetrating the exterior walls of your home and because of that, your paint is much more faded than the original color. If you do plan on painting the entire house, you will have no problems. However, if you plan on painting just one exterior wall, or a small portion of your home, the colors WILL NOT match because of the fading. Trust me, I have had this problem in the past and the only way for me to fix it was to completely repaint my whole house.

Oscar's Painting
We used Oscar's Painting in 2017 to repaint our stucco house, and were very pleased with the price & results. It was power washed first, caulked & 2 coats of Sherwin Williams paint rolled on. Phone # 352-361-4414 or 352-553-8661. According to his business card, he's been painting in TV for 15 years!

He worked for Constantino before he went into his own business--He is living the American dream, when we first met him about 7 years ago he & his wife were working out of an old truck, we, used them for custom paint in out MBR, --right now he has 5 trucks, not bad for a family man who emigrated from Guatemala--America is truly the land of opportunity-he embraced us when he came over for an estimate today

Five years is about all the original builders paint will last. I used Steve Kling and high quality Sherwin Williams satin paint was used. What a difference - he is a slighthly higher than others but fixtures get painted and new weatherstripping and threshold on front door and garage installed. In addition there is a lifetime warranty and the Sherwin Williams rep has to inspect and sign off on the completed job |

Just had our 2000 sq. ft. Gardenia with 3 car garage painted by Steve Kling. Cost included painting the exterior lights and light post plus the inside of the lanai, garage doors and front door. Also included was all new front door weather stripping. Prep work included pressure wash and digging out sod or landscaping material below grade so that paint can be applied to all the stucco. Any needed caulking repairs, one coat of color tinted Loxon primer was sprayed on, then top coats of Sherwin Williams Resiliance paint was applied via brush and roller. Sherwin Williams rep came out two days later along with touch up crew to go over the entire job to insure quality. Total cost $2,850. We liked his work so well we had him paint the entire interior.

Steve Kling could be nominated for sainthood. He painted our house three times in 2-1/2 years. The first time my husband was distracted when we made the color selection and he absolutely hated the outcome. We offered to pay to have it redone. The second time Sherwin Wms messed up the paint order: right color, wrong shade. The third time was a Goldilocks moment, "just right." Through all this Steve and wife Michelle were patient and fair. My husband jokes that if the concrete blocks were removed the house would still stand due to all the paint.

Not really, most spray paint is watered down so thin it don’t last long

These homes are referred to as CBS which stands for cement block, stucco. Many from the north call the cement blocks cinder blocks, but there isn't any cinders in them, just cement. They usually need painting every 8 years or so but especially sealed to prevent water intrusion thru the walls. I had a home in south Florida that water had seeped through the wall and caused the carpet to become wet.
