Q: Do you have to sand before using chalk paint?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t have to, but, on certain surfaces, sanding will allow the paint to adhere more easily.</p></div>

Q: Where and how should I store paint rollers?

• <div><p>Store paint rollers in their original cover or a homemade one to prevent dust from getting caught in their fibers. Try wrapping them in aluminum foil, duct tape, or plastic wrap, then take it a step further and store them in a closed container to ensure they&rsquo;re always ready to go.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: When should I use three coats of paint?

• <div><p>You should use three coats of paint when applying to a heavily textured or porous surface. Sometimes painting a lighter color over a darker color requires three coats of paint or more to achieve full, even coverage. Trim or baseboards should also get three coats of paint.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right color for my shutters?

• <div><p>The first thing is to consider the main color of your home and determine which colors will complement it. You should place paint samples on your siding and look at them at different times of the day so you can see the way the sun (and shade) affect how they appear. Also note that lighter colors will make your windows look larger, while the opposite is true for darker colors.</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...
