# Frequently asked questions

What types of exterior surfaces do you paint?+We paint a variety of exterior surfaces including wood, vinyl, aluminum, brick, stucco, and fiber cement siding. We also paint trim, doors, fences, and decks.
How do you prepare the surface before painting?+Preparation typically includes pressure washing to remove dirt and mildew, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps, and priming bare wood or metal. Proper preparation helps the paint adhere and last longer.
What type of paint do you use for exterior projects?+We use high-quality exterior paints designed for the local climate, such as acrylic latex or 100% acrylic formulas. These paints offer good durability, fade resistance, and flexibility to withstand temperature changes.
How long does an exterior painting project usually take?+The timeline depends on the size of your home, the number of stories, the condition of the existing paint, and weather conditions. A typical single-story home may take a few days, while larger or more complex projects can take a week or more.
What happens if it rains during my painting project?+We monitor weather forecasts closely. If rain is expected, we will postpone painting until conditions are dry. Exterior paint needs dry surfaces and moderate temperatures to cure properly. We will keep you informed of any schedule changes.
Do you offer any warranty or guarantee on your work?+We stand behind our workmanship. If issues arise due to our application or preparation, we will address them. Manufacturer warranties on the paint itself also apply. We recommend asking about specific warranty terms during your consultation.
How often should exterior paint be repainted?+The frequency depends on the quality of the previous paint job, the material of your siding, and exposure to sun and weather. In general, most homes need repainting every 5 to 10 years. We can inspect your home and give a more specific recommendation.
Do I need to be home while you paint the exterior?+You do not need to be home the entire time, but we appreciate being able to contact you if questions arise. We will need access to outdoor water spigots and electrical outlets. We will also coordinate with you regarding any gates, pets, or vehicles near the work area.
Who do I call for a painting emergency in Toledo?+For any life-threatening emergency, dial 911 immediately. For painting emergencies, call Toledo Exterior Painting at (567) 908-5182 for fast local response. Before any digging or excavation, call 811 so underground utilities can be marked.
How can I verify a painting company in Toledo is licensed and legitimate?+Check the company's license and insurance directly, confirm their local address and phone, and review official guidance from authorities like EPA Lead Safety (https://www.epa.gov/lead). You can also look up consumer protections through your local government.
What official resources cover painting standards in Toledo?+Relevant authorities include EPA Lead Safety and OSHA. For city services and non-emergency help in Toledo, you can also reach 311.
