The hourly cost will usually be per-painter, per-hour, so a home that requires multiple workers will have a severely increased rate.
Use thick cotton drop cloths to protect bushes, decks, patios, porches, walkways and anything else that you don’t want splattered with paint.
To estimate the amount of paint you'll need for the trim, estimate the length of total trim. The average trim width is six inches. Multiply the total trim length by 0.5 feet. To estimate the gutter, determine the total length of the gutter. One linear foot of gutter approximates one square foot. TIP: As a rule, one gallon of paint will cover trim and gutters per eight gallons of body paint.
Can't say enough good things about these painters. Mr. Lee's team of O, Jeff, and Chris were exceptional. They started the exterior painting with prep on Saturday and finished including touch ups on Thursday. Well worth it. The house looks amazing with neighbors stopping to ask for their information.

I am thinking of going with a Khaki tan color on the shakes, and white trim and my favorite color Wyeth Blue from Sherman Williams. Also do you have a Pintrest board for exterior paint colors?

The invention of the first broom, and then the vacuum cleaner, revolutionised home maintenance, turn... Can I Get Away With Avoiding Primer When Repainting My Walls?
Wow, you really got down and dirty, I am seriously impressed when I hear people like yourself really learning and trying it yourself. Makes me feel like a slacker. I thought that was really interesting how you used a hose with bleach to get rid of the wall stains instead of the oil based primer.
