Any recomendations on  local house painters ?

Also curious if its  good- recommended  to take off old scaling paint first and the good existing attached paint or just clean and scale; repaint over the old areas where paint is falling off.   Or repaint all ; even if over the old  .   I know how the locals would do it.  but....  I'd have to guess better to start on fresh cement also with a good primer.   Something in between I guess.

It all depends what you let them get away with,when you

find suitable painters, explain exactly what you want them

to do,and make sure the do it, plus 2 ways to do it, 1) the

whole job, they supply all materials and paint,you must

specify what brand of paint you want. 2) they just charge

you for labour and you supply paint,etc.

Keep an eye on them.

And they will try.... they will water down the paint if you don't watch them.

none of the above apply to the guy we've been using for 10 years, and recommended to friends too who have had no complaints
