Q: How long will painted tile backsplash last?

• <div><p>Taking the time to properly prepare your tile backsplash before painting and treating it with care afterward is the best way to ensure its longevity. While the tile can last for the life of the home, you may have to repaint it after a few years. However, using only mild cleanser and water to keep it clean can maximize the paint's lifespan.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when I should repaint my house?

• <div><p>When you should repaint your house is largely up to you since it&rsquo;s primarily a cosmetic update, but many people choose to repaint when they notice signs of fading, bubbling, or peeling paint. You might also want to repaint prior to selling your home to boost its resale value or if you want a new color.</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>

Q: How do various elements influence the pricing of a painting project?

• <div><p>Costs depend on surface type, prep work, labor, paint quality, and any required specialty finishes.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over polyurethane without sanding?

• <div><p>Painting over polyurethane without sanding is not advisable. Sanding, followed by priming, is pivotal in ensuring proper adhesion of the new paint. Sanding creates a rough surface that allows the primer to adhere firmly, which helps paint cure correctly, providing a long-lasting and smooth finish. Neglecting thorough sanding, followed by a paint primer, could lead to the paint not adhering effectively, causing peeling or uneven application.</p></div>

Jeff did an excellent job. Both the garage and the shed look fantastic! We would highly recommend him . If we could afford to have him do the flooring and interior painting we would. Unfortunately, we are on a fixed income. I love his work ethics!!!!
