Q: Do you need to wash walls before painting?

• <div><p>The answer to whether you need to clean the walls before painting depends largely on the condition of the existing finish and your desired results. You can often get away with painting bedroom and living room walls with just a dusting and some high-quality paint. However, the best results come from doing all of the prep steps first, including a gentle cleaning.</p></div>

Q: What paint is best for textured walls?

• <div><p>Latex paint is one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">best paint types</a> for textured walls. This water-based paint is fast-drying and has low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safer and more convenient for painting walls that require several coats of paint. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re painting exterior walls, you can also consider using oil-based paint, but keep in mind that it takes much longer to dry and can slow your project down considerably.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over soot?

• <div><p>No, you cannot paint over soot. Soot is a type of contaminant and if not properly removed can cause further damage to your paint and walls. Adding paint directly over soot can result in your paint color changing in appearance and potentially peeling over time. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand my porch before painting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it&rsquo;s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to protect floors while painting?

• <div><p>The best ways to protect floors when painting depend in part on the type of paint you&rsquo;re using. When you&rsquo;re using latex paint, most people will choose a drop cloth consisting of canvas, plastic, or heavy paper to protect the floor. If you are using oil-based paint, you may want to select a waterproof plastic sheet that will keep any paint from seeping through.</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...

All went very well. Gloria came in and asked a few questions on how we used the area. I should of given her more details there, but it all worked out anyway. She asked for accessories from closets and other areas of my home. She used things in different ways than I would of thought to do, and...

Fast, reliable, reasonable rates. Will use them again. They also have a boom truck so they are able to get to the area I needed painted. Clean up was great, can't even hardly tell they were there except for the fact my building looks good again.

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...
