Q: Do professional painters spray or roll?

• <div><p>Many professionals combine spraying and rolling to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-making-your-paint-job-last-longer.htm">help your exterior paint job last longer</a>. They first spray the surface to cover the whole area quickly, then use a technique known as back-rolling. This involves using a textured roller to work the wet paint into the surface to promote maximum adhesion. It also produces a soft finish that helps hide surface blemishes and makes touching up easier.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to leave paint brushes in water overnight?

• <div><p>The only time that it's okay to leave a paintbrush in water overnight is when you're trying to remove dried-on paint. However, don't allow the bristles to rest on the bottom of the container. Remember that soaking it longer than necessary can damage the brush.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of limewash paint?

• <div><p>When you compare <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-paint.htm">limewash versus paint</a>, the drawbacks of limewash include its relatively limited durability compared to synthetic paints, often requiring reapplication in high-traffic areas or harsh weather conditions. Moreover, applying limewash requires skill and patience to avoid issues like streaks or uneven coverage. Limewash also comes with some color variety using natural pigments, but you have fewer options than if you go with paint.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to paint baseboards with carpet?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve already installed your carpet and your baseboards need a fresh coat, painter&rsquo;s tape can help ensure the paint stays on the wall and off the flooring. Be sure to add a margin of 2 to 3 inches of tape along the carpet to give yourself extra space for any unexpected spills or drips. You should also lay down a plastic tarp and secure it as close to the wall as possible with painter&rsquo;s tape.</p></div>

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>

Jason and his crew were professional and friendly. The prep work prior to painting was detail-oriented and the paint job itself was exceptional. I’m very pleased and would highly recommend.
