Summit Painting

Have a painting- or staining-related question? Summit Painting has the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • Does Summit Painting do pressure washing on houses before painting?

    Yes, we pressure wash exteriors to make sure we have a clean surface to work with before we apply paint.

  • Do you apply caulk to the siding before starting the painting process?

    Yes, Summit Painting will make sure that any holes or cracks are filled or sealed before we start painting.

  • Can Summit Painting paint my home’s exterior during winter months if there is no rain?

    We can, but it depends on the surface, the amount of shading around the surface, and if the temperature is above 55 degrees.

  • I'm undecided about the paint colors for my exterior/interior. Can Summit Painting help me choose colors?

    Yes. We employ a color consultant who can help you choose your paint colors.

  • Do I need to be on hand throughout the painting project?

    During the painting project, Summit Painting would appreciate it if the homeowner is available during the project.

  • Does Summit Painting perform repair or light carpentry services in addition to painting?

    Yes. Our contracting business has a special team to handle the carpentry work before painting begins. 

  • How long does it take to complete an exterior painting project?

    Depending on the size of the project and the home, most of our painting projects performed by Summit Painting take 3-7 business days to complete.

  • Is Summit Painting licensed, bonded, and insured?

    Yes. Our company is fully licensed, bonded, and insured for your protection and ours.

  • Will furniture be moved or should the room be completely cleared before Summit Painting arrives for painting?

    Yes, we recommend that the furniture be moved ahead of time. If the furniture is too big to move, it should be put in the center of the room. We ask that small, valuable items be packed away in another room while we’re working in your home.

  • What tools does Summit Painting use to paint?

    For exterior services, our team uses brushes and rollers for the trim. We spray the rest for a professional look and finish. For interiors, we use brushes and rollers on the trim, walls, and drywall. We spray millwork and cabinets for a professional look and finish.
