Secret of a long last painting job:

There is no secret, really. For a painting job to last, the trick is a lot of prep (and more prep).

In fact great painting is often 75% preparation and 25% paint application. The one thing most that my clients most comment on is my attention to detail.

This translates to a deep caring for what will last a long time and look beautiful, years of accumulated experience, the use of only premium products, and an extraordinary attention to detail.
