"I am very happy with the look of the finished project. When I bought this home, I thought the tub was simply dirty when in reality the finish was completely gone and so was stained. I also didn't like the color of the tiles surrounding the tub. After we did a lot of the prep work, i.e removing the faucets, caulking and glass enclosure, Bob came in and did his thing. He needed to come back to address a few issues, i.e. paint runs, but did so and they look much better. One thing I would recommend to anyone thinking about resurfacing - the paint smell is really terrible! I didn't think I would be able to sleep in my house that night (it was November mind you and cold!) If you have a trip planned or somewhere else to stay for a day or two, it's something to consider. I'll be curious to see how this holds up over time, but Bob does warrant his work for 5 years as long as something the owner does hasn't caused the surface to fail."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
