Q: How long does it take to prep and paint a room?

• <div><p>The time it takes to prep and paint a room depends wholly on the project's details. You can expect to spend at least two days on the job, including one for prepping and priming and one for applying two coats of paint. If the room is complex with many features to work around, expect to spend an additional day. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose a brick paint color?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-right-paint-color-your-home.htm">Choosing the right paint color</a> for a major investment like painting the exterior brick on your house can be a daunting task. Perhaps the most important thing is to find painted brick houses that you like and replicate the look by researching their colors and asking the homeowners for the paint color code. If all else fails, white-painted brick is a timeless, classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t wax chalk paint?

• <div><p>Not waxing chalk-painted furnishings leaves their surfaces susceptible to moisture damage and color fading over time.</p></div>

Q: Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can&rsquo;t stop you, we don&rsquo;t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won&rsquo;t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It&rsquo;s often limited in color selection. If you&rsquo;re painting a low-traffic area, such as a closet, ceiling paint might work in an absolute pinch. But for most walls, it&rsquo;s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint over satin paint without sanding?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re repainting with the same sheen, it&rsquo;s possible to apply satin paint over satin. However, if you&rsquo;re reducing the glossiness and using a flatter paint, you should sand first to take off some of the sheen. Sanding will also help the next coat of paint stick to the wall better, so it&rsquo;s a good idea, even if you&rsquo;re not changing the sheen.</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.

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...

We are very particular, so a four star from us is probably similar to a five star from most people. Sam and his crew were diligent and timely. We needed the job done by a specific date and they made it happen. Work looks very good. A few details were overlooked, but I know a call to Sam would...
