How much does exterior house painting cost in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati?

Exterior painting cost depends on paintable surface area, prep needs (especially scraping/sanding/priming), trim detail, height/access, and the number of colors. After a walkthrough, we provide a clear scope and estimate so you know what’s included and why.

How long does exterior house painting take?

Timeline depends on weather windows, how much prep is required, dry time between coats, and detail work like trim and doors. We outline a realistic schedule during your estimate so the job isn’t rushed between rain or humidity.

Can you fix peeling paint before repainting the exterior?

Yes. We don’t paint over failing coatings. We identify why it’s peeling (poor adhesion, moisture, sun exposure, or old paint layers), then plan scraping, sanding, and priming so the new system bonds correctly.

Do painters power wash before exterior painting?

Often, yes—cleaning removes dirt, mildew, and chalking so paint can adhere properly. We choose the right cleaning method based on the surface type and condition.

How often should you repaint the exterior of a house?

It varies by surface type, sun exposure, moisture, and the quality of the previous prep and paint system. Homes with heavy sun exposure or older coatings may need repainting sooner than shaded or well-protected exteriors.

What paint is best for exterior siding?

The best exterior paint depends on the siding material (wood, fiber cement, aluminum, etc.) and exposure conditions. We recommend a coating system—including primer if needed—based on durability, adhesion, and a consistent finish.

Can you paint exterior trim, doors, and shutters?

Yes. These details make a major difference in curb appeal. We plan prep and product selection for durability on high-touch surfaces like doors, trim, and shutters.

Is it better to spray or roll exterior paint?

It depends on the surface and finish goal. Some exteriors benefit from spray for speed and coverage, but many areas still require brush/roll for control, back-rolling, and detail work. We recommend the method that fits your home and produces the best finish.

Do you repair exterior wood trim before painting?

Yes, when needed. If trim is soft, separating, or failing, it should be repaired or replaced so the paint system can protect the surface instead of covering a problem that will return.

Do you offer free estimates and a warranty for exterior painting?

Yes. We offer free estimates and a final walkthrough, and we provide a 2-year touch-up warranty after completion, with clear expectations on what’s included.

Containment and Protection for Cleaner Ceiling Texture Removal

Ceiling texture removal can be messy if it’s rushed. We plan protection first—floors, walls, fixtures, and work zones—so the process stays controlled and your home stays livable.

Protection steps we may include

Floor and furniture protection (full room coverage when needed)
Wall masking and edge protection at transitions
Fixture and vent protection
Containment planning to reduce dust spread
Tidy debris handling and daily cleanup habits

If you’ve avoided removing texture because of the mess, we’ll explain exactly how we protect the space before any work begins.

Skim Coating and Smoothing for Paint-Ready Ceiling Results

Removing texture is only step one. The “new ceiling look” comes from smoothing, blending, and surface checks so the ceiling reads flat after primer and paint.

Smoothing steps we may include

Feathering and blending after removal
Skim coating (spot or full, depending on condition)
Sanding and surface checks under strong light
Repairing imperfections revealed during removal
Primer planning to prevent flashing and uneven sheen

If your ceiling has past patches or repairs that keep showing, we’ll scope the right finishing approach so the final surface looks consistent.

Ceiling Repairs, Crack Fixes, and Patch Blending After Texture Removal

Older ceilings often have hairline cracks, seam issues, or patches that become more noticeable once texture is removed. We handle the repair work that helps the ceiling look finished—not “almost.”

Common ceiling issues we correct during texture removal projects

Stress cracks and settlement lines
Nail pops and fastener marks
Patch edges and uneven transitions
Seam issues at drywall joints
Water stain areas (scope-based)
Corner and edge imperfections at crown/trim lines

Texture Ceiling Removal Cost Factors and What Impacts Your Estimate

Pricing depends on the size of the ceiling, the texture type, the finishing level you want, and how much smoothing is required—not just square footage. During your estimate, we’ll confirm the finish goal so expectations are clear.

Common cost drivers for ceiling texture removal

Total ceiling area and number of rooms
Texture type and how it releases from the surface
Ceiling height and access (stairwells, vaulted areas)
