Q: How many coats of paint does a bathroom need?

• <div><p>Most bathroom walls will require two coats of paint, as this ensures proper coverage. If you&rsquo;re painting over a darker color with a lighter color, you may need additional coats. If you&rsquo;re just refreshing with the same shade, one coat of paint is usually fine. It&rsquo;s a good idea to put down one to two coats of primer before painting to ensure the best results. This can also cut down on the need for additional coats if you&rsquo;re painting over a darker color.</p></div>

Q: Can you spray paint over asbestos?

• <div><p>While there are some sealants designed to be spray-painted over asbestos to encapsulate it, you still want to make sure it&rsquo;s a specifically designed product for this purpose&mdash;not just run-of-the-mill spray paint. Furthermore, be sure you aren&rsquo;t inadvertently spraying the asbestos fibers around when you take on this project, and as always, be sure to wear the proper protective gear, including a P-100-rated respirator and a disposable body suit, so as not to inadvertently breathe in or spread asbestos fibers.</p></div>

Q: How do you open a plastic-sealed paint can?

• <div><p>Although plastic-sealed paint cans can look tricky, you can open them with adjustable pliers in no time. Grip the plastic seal with the pliers and pull the seal up, moving around the seal until you&rsquo;ve pried the plastic up in enough spots. Then, you can grab the seal and pop it off the top of the paint can. Depending on the strength of the seal, you may even be able to remove the seal with just your hands by pulling upwards.</p></div>

Q: Do you waste more paint spraying or rolling?

• <div><p>Sprayers use up to 30% more paint than rollers because of overspray. Some ways you can minimize the amount of wasted paint include selecting <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-sprayers.htm">the best paint sprayer</a> for the job, choosing a lower pressure sprayer and using a lower pressure setting, keeping the sprayer well-maintained, not spraying on a windy day, and holding the sprayer at an appropriate distance from the surface. </p></div>

Q: Can you prime and paint on the same day?

• <div><p>Yes, with some primers, you can prime and paint on the same day. It depends on how long your primer takes to fully dry. Some can dry within an hour while others may take a fully 24 hours.</p></div>

The inspector was friendly and seemed, at first, to do a good job. But, now that it is summer and I am working on the house, many problems have arisen. At least 4 areas of the eves are rotten. Granted, these were hard to spot because the paint covered them up. But, most of the chalking around...

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...

Our house was built in 1928 so painting it had a few challenges. I can always tell if a job is well done by how much clean up I have after the job. There was very little splatter. Our house is approximately 1850 sq feet and the job took two days. The guys all did a great job, and were very...

Speidel Flooring is a rip-off. They are eager to sell you something but the minute there's a problem, they ignore you. I will not set foot in this place again and I recommend that nobody else does, either. Mark Speidel talked to me like I was some sort of nuisance to him. He was rude, cocky,...

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...
