When it comes to painting your home, it’s normal to have questions — from how to choose the right colors to how long it takes for paint to dry. At Casanova Painting, we believe that an informed homeowner is a happy homeowner. Below, we’ve gathered answers to the 15 most common questions clients ask us about residential painting to help you plan your next project with confidence.
1. How often should I repaint my home?
Most interiors should be repainted every 5–7 years, depending on wear, humidity, and traffic. Exteriors typically need repainting every 7–10 years, though Maple Ridge’s weather can shorten that lifespan slightly.
2. What’s the best time of year to paint?
For exterior painting, late spring through early fall offers the best conditions in British Columbia. Interior painting can be done year-round — especially during fall and winter when painters are less booked and rates are more flexible.
3. How long does a residential painting project take?
A typical interior repaint takes 2–5 days, while exterior projects may take a week or more, depending on prep work, weather, and home size. Casanova Painting always provides a detailed timeline before starting.
4. Do I need to move my furniture?
We recommend moving small and valuable items. Our team takes care of covering, protecting, and moving large furniture safely when needed.
5. What kind of paint do you use?
We use premium-grade paints from trusted brands like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. These provide long-lasting color, durability, and low-VOC options for healthier indoor air.
6. How do I choose the right color?
We offer color consultation and sample applications to help you see how colors look in your lighting. Neutral tones add value, while bold accents can add personality to your space.
7. How do you prepare surfaces before painting?
Proper prep is key. We clean, sand, patch holes, caulk cracks, and prime surfaces to ensure flawless adhesion and a lasting finish — the Casanova Painting difference.
8. What’s the difference between flat, satin, and semi-gloss finishes?
- Flat/Matte: Hides imperfections, ideal for ceilings and low-traffic areas.
- Satin/Eggshell: Slight sheen, great for living rooms and bedrooms.
- Semi-Gloss/Gloss: Durable and easy to clean, perfect for kitchens, trim, and doors.
9. How can I tell if my home’s exterior needs repainting?
Look for peeling, fading, cracking, or chalky residue on your siding or trim. If your home’s color looks dull or patchy, it’s time for a refresh to protect your investment.
10. Do you handle drywall repairs and caulking?
Yes — Casanova Painting provides minor drywall repairs, caulking, and surface restoration as part of our prep work to ensure a smooth, professional finish.
11. How can I extend the life of my paint job?
Keep walls clean with gentle wiping, control indoor humidity, and trim back vegetation outdoors. Quality paint and professional prep also make a big difference.
12. What if it rains during my exterior project?
We monitor weather forecasts closely and schedule accordingly. If it rains, we pause the project to maintain quality — no shortcuts, ever.
13. Are your services insured and guaranteed?
Absolutely. Casanova Painting is fully insured and stands behind every project with a workmanship warranty. Our goal is your total satisfaction.
