Q: Is it better to use two or three coats of paint for exteriors?

• <div><p>Use at least two coats of paint for exteriors for better coverage and added durability. When painting lighter colors over darker colors, a third coat of paint may be necessary to achieve full coverage of your home&rsquo;s exterior. A durable paint specifically designed for the material of your home&rsquo;s exterior will last the longest.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a flagstone patio?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint a flagstone patio, but ensure you choose a durable latex paint specifically designed for outdoor use and heavy foot traffic. An elastomeric latex paint will fill in all the gaps and create a waterproof seal over the stone. Even the best products made for foot traffic can last for one to two years, on average, so be prepared to reapply paint regularly. </p></div>

Q: What type of finish should I use?

• <div><p>A finishing layer is an important step in the staining process. A top coat helps make a stain last longer by protecting it from spills, scratches, and natural weathering.</p><p>A lacquer finish is thin, fast-drying, and best used for cabinets, molding, and trim. It&rsquo;s not recommended for outdoor furniture. Another option is varnish, which has a glossy finish with a protective film and is often used on outdoor wood objects. Polyurethane, known as &ldquo;liquid plastic,&rdquo; dries quickly but doesn&rsquo;t hold up well in the heat. Lastly, a shellac finish adds a warm tint to wood but is affected by heat.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint my wood floors without sanding them?

• <div><p>Sanding a wood floor can be a lot of work, especially if the room is large. However, if you skip this step, the paint might not stick properly to the floor. Over time, your paint can peel or chip. Eventually, you may need to repaint the floor all over again. Save your time and money by sanding the floor the first time.</p></div>

Q: What color should I have my cabinets painted?

• <div><p>With so many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/kitchen-cabinet-colors.htm">color choices for cabinets</a>, you have many different ways to bring personality to your kitchen (or any other room where you are updating your cabinets). The color you choose to paint your cabinets should reflect your personal style but can also match existing wall colors or appliances. Some colors to choose from include:</p><ul><li><p>White</p></li><li><p>Navy</p></li><li><p>Grey</p></li><li><p>Green</p></li><li><p>Taupe</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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...
