Frequently Asked Questions

We can paint most common exterior siding types. Whether your home has wood, masonry, metal, or synthetic siding, we have the tools and experience to give it a fresh, long-lasting finish.

  • Stucco
  • Hardboard siding (Masonite)
  • Cedar siding
  • Aluminum siding
  • Brick / Concrete
  • Vinyl

If your siding type isn’t listed here, feel free to reach out and we’ll let you know if it’s something we can work with.

PREPARATION PROCESS: All windows and doors will be covered with plastic to protect from overspray. Cement sidewalks will be covered in rosin paper or drop cloths, and tarps will be placed over the yard to protect plants and gardens.

POWER WASHING: All exterior siding will be power-washed before paint is applied to remove dirt, oils, loose paint, mold, mildew, grime, and dust. Peeling areas will then be scraped with carbide blades, and all paint chips will be cleaned up and disposed of properly.

CAULKING: All cracks, gaps, and joints less than 1/4-inch wide between stationary building components will be sealed with caulk. This improves insulation, provides waterproofing, and ensures a longer-lasting exterior finish. All gaps in horizontal and vertical siding will be filled to provide a solid, seamless surface before paint is applied.

We primarily use Sherwin Williams latex paints, as they are often superior to oil-based paints for most applications. However, we use oil-based stains and primers where they are superior — particularly for their bonding and stain-blocking properties. Each surface has different requirements depending on the substrate. For stained interior wood, lacquer clear coat is the most durable option.

We use a modified pad with wheels to cut in interior walls. This is the best way to achieve a perfect edge. We then use a small roller for the corners and a large roller for the field. We will use a brush on exterior work or in tight spaces where a pad cannot reach.

This depends on the specific situation and ground conditions. We avoid risking ruts in lawns or damage to sprinkler systems. We use ladders, scaffolding, or mechanical lifts depending on the height and accessibility of the area being painted. Safety is always our top priority.

Yes! We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all projects. We will visit your property, assess the scope of work, discuss your goals and preferences, and provide a detailed written estimate. Contact us to schedule your free consultation.

Project timelines vary depending on the scope of work, surface conditions, and weather (for exteriors). A single room can typically be completed in 1-2 days, while a full exterior may take 1-3 weeks. We will provide a timeline estimate with your quote and keep you updated throughout the project.

Reviews That Speak Volumes

“We hired Chris Walker to paint the exterior of our 100 year old home and he and his crew did an excellent job. Chris is a great communicator and promptly replied every time I reached out to him. His crew spent a great deal of time scraping off the old paint and we are grateful for the thorough job they did. Our house looks great! We highly recommend this painter.”

“I worked with Christopher Walker LLC professionally throughout a large pool project at the Downtown Duluth Area Family YMCA. His team was kind, professional, and responsive to our needs throughout the project. From choosing and testing paints before the project began, through touch-ups and final clean-up at the end, they paid attention to safety, detail, and timeline to ensure everything was completed up to our standards.”

“Painted our entire condo 3 years ago. Recently did the Kitchen and it looks like new again! These guys do a very nice job. Clean, friendly, professional, timely affordable... a locally-owned operation that stands by their work. We'll hire them again next time for sure!”

“Thank you Chris and LLC Pro Print for your excellent work in the painting of our three story home. We appreciated all your attention to detail not only on the excellent painting of our house, but on the prep work, daily tidinesses, and protection of our yard and gardens.
