Q: What paint will stick to composite decking?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won&rsquo;t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if I used interior paint outside?

• <div><p>First off, take a breath. The good news is that interior paint, especially when used outside, won&rsquo;t harm your health. The bad news is that you&rsquo;re going to have to reapply the proper exterior paint at some point in the not-so-distant future. Otherwise the current coat will chip, crack, and fade, or worse, develop mold or an insect infestation without remediation. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace paint?

• <div><p>If you have a can or two of paint that's past its prime, replacing it shouldn't be too expensive. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dolla-dolla-bills-how-much-should-you-pay-can-paint.htm">A gallon of paint costs</a> an average of <b>$25</b>. You may pay more if you want a superior quality paint or if you choose oil-based paint instead of latex or acrylic. </p><p>Buying in bulk can help you save, provided you use all the paint you purchase. For example, a 5-gallon bucket of paint tends to cost less per gallon than a pint or quart-sized can.</p></div>

Q: What is the correct order to paint a room?

• <div><p>There is no one correct order for painting a room, as it largely depends on personal preference and skill level. However, for non-professional painters, we recommend the following order: ceiling, walls, doors, windows, trim. This is because painting trim, windows, and doors can be more time-consuming and meticulous, and it's best to save them for last when you&rsquo;ve already gained some confidence from painting the larger surfaces.</p></div>

Q: Can you wallpaper or paint over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.</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!!!!

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...
