Q: What should you not do when painting walls?

• <div><p>First and foremost, don&rsquo;t skip the prep work. Even if you have the steady hands of a surgeon, mistakes happen, and they can potentially be catastrophic. Also, never underestimate how much paint you&rsquo;ll need. Returning to the store is enough of a pain, let alone the streaks and uneven color you&rsquo;ll get if a half-done wall dries before you can finish it. </p></div>

Q: Is painting over wallpaper a good idea?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">remove wallpaper</a> rather than paint over it. You should only paint over wallpaper if removing it would damage the wall, the surface is relatively smooth, or there are minimal problem areas&mdash;such as slight peeling and lifted seams&mdash;that you can fix easily. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it can create more problems if the wallpaper is in poor condition and you don&rsquo;t properly prep the area for painting. Depending on the state of the wallpaper, color, and textures could show through, and moisture from the paint could loosen the adhesive, causing unsightly bubbling.</p></div>

Q: What is the most popular color for shutters?

• <div><p>Black shutters are very popular because of their versatility and the fact that they complement a variety of other colors. The other foundational color, white, is another extremely popular choice for the same reason. Both colors have the power to pack a punch, whether the rest of your home is painted deep blue or light gray.</p></div>

Q: How long will painted tile backsplash last?

• <div><p>Taking the time to properly prepare your tile backsplash before painting and treating it with care afterward is the best way to ensure its longevity. While the tile can last for the life of the home, you may have to repaint it after a few years. However, using only mild cleanser and water to keep it clean can maximize the paint's lifespan.</p></div>

Q: How long does paint last on fiberglass?

• <div><p>With a protective top coat, fiberglass door paint will last two or more years. Sometimes, this life span can be even shorter depending on what elements the door is exposed to. Conditions like heavy rain and snowfall don&rsquo;t usually cause issues, but high temperatures and direct sunlight can quickly lead to cracking and bubbling. </p></div>

Jason and his crew were professional and friendly. The prep work prior to painting was detail-oriented and the paint job itself was exceptional. I’m very pleased and would highly recommend.
