What Makes Projects Take Longer?

Surface repairs: Holes, cracks, water damage, or old peeling paint require extra prep time before any painting begins.
Multiple colors: Each color transition requires careful masking, adding hours to each room.
Number of coats: Dark-to-light color changes often require 3 or more coats to achieve an even result.
Humidity and temperature: Exterior painting in Murfreesboro requires suitable weather - rain, high humidity, or extreme cold significantly slow projects down.
Crew size: A 2-person crew takes roughly twice as long as a 4-person crew on the same project.
