"This contractor performed a large number of repair/renovation tasks ranging from hard to reach light bulb replacement and under sink plumbing repairs which were very stubborn to ceramic tile removal and replacement. Also did miscellaneous hardware replacement and wood door repair, ceramic tile countertop joint repair, drywall removal, replacement and painting and other similar tasks which were of considerable quantity. One more notable repair was a faulty outdoor hose connection which required cutting into a basement wall and removing a portion of pipe and replacing a connection between it and the shut off valve. Naturally, the inside wall opening was still not easily navigated for the job. I add that for the past 3 years several plumbers that did other work in my house didn't have a clue of what to do and shied away fro the task."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

The best closet paint colors will help make it easier to get dressed. Cool, contrasting whites make all of your clothing items pop and help you feel like you have a more organized closet by creating a crisp, clean background. For a more luxurious feel, jewel-toned paints like emerald or ruby can have a widening effect, making your closet appear larger and deeper. Satin finishes are less likely to show scuffs and streaks than semi-gloss paints, making them ideal for closets.

You can paint over wallpaper, but it’s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it’s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.

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. 

Not waxing chalk-painted furnishings leaves their surfaces susceptible to moisture damage and color fading over time.

You can certainly paint vinyl baseboards, but you may want to consider why you would. Vinyl baseboards are not very expensive, and if you’re considering painting baseboards over 5 years old, you may want to consider simply replacing them with a color you like—there is an enormous range of color options for this material, and replacement won’t cost too much more than painting them.
