Hi, I am looking for a quote to paint out my house and garage as well as the roof. The house has a brick bottom and the top section of the house needs painting. The roof is a zink roof on both the garage and house. The house is a pitched roof and the garage is a flat roof. Would the colour of the paint make a difference as I would like to paint the house a charcoal colour with white trim (windows)? Look forward to hearing from you. Please note I am not always on my phone but if you leave a message if you cannot get hold of me I will call you back otherwise you can send me a quote via the email address supplied. Thank you '
