Questions
About porch and railing painting
How long before I can walk on a painted porch floor?
Light foot traffic is often fine after a day, but full cure can take several days. We give you exact timing for the product we use.
Can you paint a rusty railing?
Yes. We remove loose rust, prime with a rust-inhibiting primer and paint with a durable metal coating.
