Q: What is the best paint for bathroom walls to prevent mold?

• <div><p>The best paint to prevent mold on bathroom walls is one with a glossy sheen. If you choose a satin or semi-gloss finish for a humid room such as a bathroom, its hard surface will deflect moisture rather than absorb it the way a matte or eggshell paint might. Glossy paint has the bonus of being easy to clean, which is a useful feature in a bathroom.</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>

Q: How long does paint last on wood?

• <div><p>The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. </p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to hire a painter or do it yourself?

• <div><p>In all cases, it&rsquo;s more affordable to DIY paint than hire a professional painter, as you&rsquo;ll save on labor costs, which makes up the large majority of your total when you hire a pro. However, you get what you pay for. Professionals have the equipment and years of experience to tackle a job much more efficiently than most homeowners, and they typically provide better results. It&rsquo;s often worth the expense to save time and secure a more professional appearance for your paint job.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to use a roller or brush for a mist coat?

• <div><p>Using a roller allows you to apply a mist coat quickly to avoid uneven spots while drying, but it can create streaks and splatters from the watery paint. Applying with a paintbrush can take longer but may be less messy. There are pros and cons to using either a roller or a brush for the mist coat. The mist coat is diluted, so it can be messier to work with, but it also dries quickly.</p></div>

Chris is honest and careful with his work. His cost are very reasonable and he does what he promises. I would recommend him to anyone who needs painting done. He painted all ceiling and all walls, plus some outside doors, door trim and shutters. A great guy.

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...
