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 '

Fourteen living units in the complex, with more or less 3 rooms each. Five big windows per unit. Some safety grids and two small doors outside also need to be painted, 4-5 smaller windows (0.5 m per window) as well. We want to remove all the old paint as it has cracked severely. Some windows have cracks in as well that need to be filled in the process.
