At Eden True Colours, we value transparency and customer satisfaction. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions about our painting services.
1. How long does a painting project typically take?
The duration of a painting project depends on several factors, including the size of the space, the complexity of the job, and any required preparation work such as repairs or priming. Our team works efficiently while maintaining attention to detail. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear timeline to ensure the project fits your schedule.
2. Can ETCng help with colour selection for my painting project?
Absolutely! We understand how overwhelming choosing the right colour can be. Our expert team offers professional advice to help you select colours that complement your existing decor and lighting. We also provide virtual or in-person colour consultations to help you explore options and finalize the perfect palette for your home.
3. Is it safe to stay in my home while it’s being painted?
It depends! To minimize disruptions, we recommend avoiding freshly painted rooms for a few hours after completion to allow the paint to dry and cure properly. However, we prioritize using low-VOC, less harmful products that minimize fumes and odours, making it safer for you to stay in your home during the process.
4. Do I need to move my furniture before the painters arrive?
For safety and efficiency, we recommend moving smaller, fragile items before our team arrives. For large furniture pieces, our team will assist in protecting them and will safeguard floors, fixtures, and surfaces. Rest assured, your valuables are important to us, and we take every precaution to protect them.
5. What type of paint is best for different surfaces?
We prioritize durability and aesthetics, using high-quality, weather-resistant paints suited for each surface type. Our team will recommend the best products for your specific needs, ensuring a lasting and beautiful finish. Integrity is key to us, and we will never compromise on quality.
6. How long does a paint job last?
The longevity of a paint job depends on factors such as paint quality, professional application, and surface maintenance. When applied by experienced professionals using high-quality paints, an exterior paint job can last between 5–10 years or more. However, climate and exposure affect longevity—homes in sunny, arid regions may experience fading faster, while humid or rainy climates may see issues like peeling or mildew sooner.
7. What routine maintenance can I follow to keep painted walls looking fresh?
You can extend the lifespan of your paint job by following these maintenance tips:
- Free 2-hour touch-up: We offer a complimentary touch-up service to help maintain your paint.
- Regular cleaning: Wash your home annually to remove dirt, algae, and mildew, keeping the paint looking fresh.
- Inspect for damage: Check for cracks or chips and address them promptly.
- Protect exposed areas: Maintain eaves and trim to preserve their appearance.
Proper preparation before painting—such as cleaning, priming, and repairing surfaces—also contributes to a more durable and attractive finish.
