Mantle Painting Company Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the process of painting my house?


A: The first thing that is done to the house is pressure washing. The house is completely washed and treated to remove all mildew and residue in order to assure proper product adhesion. After the house fully dries (~two weeks) the house is scraped, sanded, caulked and prepped as needed.
Once the prep is complete the painting actually begins. The house is either sprayed with an airless sprayer, brushed, or usually a combination of the two. The body of the house is the first to be painted, then followed by the trim and ending with the decks and doors (if applicable).

2) Is there going to be overspray all over my windows, plants, vehicles, etc?

A: All of our spray technicians are highly skilled professionals. The time is always taken to cover and protect all of the surrounding environment to ensure nothing is ever painted that isn’t supposed to be.


3) When do I need to know my colors and where should I go to find them?


A: It is very beneficial to both you the customer and we the company if you are able to get your colors as soon as possible. It is pertinent that the colors have been chosen by the time the first crew arrives on the job site. We are also more than happy to help answer any questions about the color schemes as well as anything about the products thought of being used. We can also put up a small color sample on the house/wall/trim to give one a better idea of how the finished product will look.

Our primary paint supplier is Sherwin Williams with stores across the Southern Maine area. Because they are our main supplier we have the most experience with their products. Other paint suppliers with whom we have experience with include Benjamin Moore (especially for interior work), The Paint Pot, Modern Paint and Paper, and Dulux Paints.


4) How long will it take to paint my house?


A: As each job varies in size, number of colors, and condition of house it is hard to give an exact time. We promise to do the best and most efficient work possible depending upon the situation. There are always variables that can change the timing of a job such as weather.
