The writer
Who writes these articles
Myron Pendleton writes the painting articles on this site as our painting and color writer. Each one starts from a question homeowners raise on calls and walk-throughs: what a job should cost, which finish will last, when the weather allows an exterior.
Prices and statistics come from published sources, and each article names where its figures came from, so you can check them yourself. When a source updates its numbers, the article is updated and its date changes.
