FAQ
Common Questions
What type of paint do you use and why?
We primarily use quality products from Sherwin Williams. If there is another brand that you are interested in using, talk with your estimator
DO YOU STILL USE OIL BASED PAINTS AND WHAT IS THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OIL AND WATER-BASED (ACRYLIC, LATEX) PAINTS?
Oil-based paints have been mostly removed from the market for architectural applications. This is due to the constant push for less solvent and lower VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) in the paint formulas. Oil-based paints redeeming qualities include a superior smooth look, good moisture resistance, and ultimate hardness and durability. Unfortunately, because of the curing process, oil-based paints tend to become very brittle as they age, which leads to cracking, peeling, and ultimate failure of the paint. On exteriors and moisture prone areas on interiors, oil-based paints have a tendency to mildew, because some of the ingredients act as a food source for mildew. Water-based paints, also known as latex and acrylic paints (these are the ingredients that “bind” the paint to the surface), have come so far and have outperformed their counterparts of yesteryear. Today’s latex and acrylic paints exhibit excellent qualities, such as moisture resistance, mildew resistance, flexibility, color fastness, and block resistance (the ability to not stick to itself or objects to stick to the finish, such as items on a painted shelf). Most of the water based paints we use are known as 100% acrylic, which are of the highest quality available.
WHAT TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPTIONS TO YOU OFFER?
We will use low and non-VOC paints upon request.
HOW MANY COATS OF PAINT ARE INCLUDED IN THE QUOTE?
We always apply two coats of paint, guaranteed.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PAINT FINISHES AND HOW DO I SELECT THEM FOR EACH ROOM?
Paint finish comes in three general categories:
Flat Finish– also known as matte finish
Satin Finish – also known as eggshell finish or low-luster finish
Gloss Finish – also known as semi-gloss finish
CAN YOU OFFER ADVICE ON HOW TO CHOOSE A COLOR?
Lighting, architecture, and room decor are three environmental factors to consider when choosing a paint color. An ideal paint color is one that considers the all three elements and provides balance and unity to the space.
HOW LONG WILL THE JOB TAKE?
Depending on the project, you will need to call Nolan Painting to discuss scope of work. However, Nolan Painting does guarantee the job will get done within 10 days or less (winter season only). A typical bedroom would take about a day or two to paint the walls, ceiling and trim. You should plan on not having access to the bedroom for at least one night.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF WORKING WITH YOU?
HOW DO I PREPARE MY ROOMS FOR YOUR VISIT?
You will need to remove any small items from the tops of shelves and pictures from your wall. We can move the larger items towards the center of the room and properly cover and protect furniture/items.
MY ROOM IS WALLPAPERED NOW. HOW WILL YOU HANDLE THAT?
We will remove wallpaper prior to painting. Before we remove the paper we will test an area to see how the paper was applied. If the wallpaper was not applied properly it may lead to damage to the walls when the paper is removed. Your crew leader will discuss with you other options if this is the case.
CAN YOU PROVIDE REFERENCES?
Yes, we can! We can give you a recent customer to call or have you look at our report cards that customers fill out at the end of each job. We also have excellent 5 star online reviews posted on our website and on Facebook and Instagram
