Q: Do you need to prime a driveway before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it is advisable to prime a driveway before painting. Primer serves as a preparatory step, promoting better paint adhesion to the surface, enhancing durability, and ensuring a smoother, more even finish. Priming is essential for concrete driveways as they are porous and absorb paint unevenly without proper priming. Skipping this step may result in a less durable and less aesthetically pleasing paint job, requiring more frequent repainting.</p></div>

Q: How long does painting take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-3 days per room, depending on the size and preparation required.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use to whitewash brick?

• <div><p>When it comes to painting your bricks, you&rsquo;ve got a few options. Traditionally, lime wash (a mix of aged, burned, and crushed lime and water) was used to whitewash brick or stone. You can also find premixed brick whitewash paint that cuts out a few steps and lets you get started faster. However, for the best results, we recommend using a DIY whitewash (white acrylic paint mixed with water).</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a yellow lawn green?

• <div><p>Technically, yes, there are lawn &ldquo;paints&rdquo; that you can use to dye your lawn to a greener color, often made out of nontoxic biodegradable materials. This is a potential band-aid to your problem, but it rarely has perfect results. First, yellowed grass is usually frail and lacks the springiness of healthy grass, so your lawn may still look unhealthy no matter the color. Second, lawn paints only work for the short term, and wash away after a couple of months (depending on your climate).</p></div>

Phil and his crew rearranged their current jobs to ensure that our floors were refinished in time to get the painting done before our move-in date. We also asked them to remove all the baseboards and quarter round - which was good thing because then we could see how poorly the flooring had been...

Nice guy and the work was high quality. I wished he was more comprehensive in his bid (painting the wall after he had to open it up) but he did disclose upfront that this was the homeowner's responsibility. Just would have likes to have the option. He was a bit disorganized and always running...
