Q: What are the disadvantages of whitewash paint?

• <div><p>The disadvantages of whitewash paint can start when mixing the paint. Too much water can cause chipping and peeling later because the substrate did not fully absorb the solution. It's also difficult to control the consistency of the paint, resulting in an uneven finish. Remember, achieving desired results with whitewash demands skill and patience, as improper techniques can result in streaks, uneven coverage, or premature flaking, adding complexity to the process. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint over cracks?

• <div><p>Painting over cracks without repairing them first will simply lead to needing to fix them later. They will reappear in short order. Usually, just a bit of spackle and a putty knife before painting will do the trick. However, if there are significant cracks, find the source of the problem and fix it before moving forward. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to paint a stairway or foyer?

• <div><p>It will usually take a professional painter between three and four hours to paint a stairway; if you&rsquo;re DIY-ing, plan to spend between four and six hours, depending on the difficulty of your project and the size of your hallway or foyer.</p></div>

Q: What is the best paint to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>While you could conceivably select <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sheen-confusion-choosing-best-paint-finish.htm">any paint finish</a>, paintable wallpaper tends to look its best with a flat or eggshell finish. A higher gloss paint might make the texture pop more, but it can look a bit dated once the paint has dried. And don&rsquo;t worry about whether a water-based latex paint will loosen the wallpaper. Paintable wallpaper has a coating that prevents this from happening, so using latex paints without applying an oil-based primer to seal things first is fine.</p></div>

Q: Can a mist coat be too thick?

• <div><p>Yes, a mist coat can be too thick. If you don&rsquo;t dilute the mist coat enough and you apply a thick coat to the wall, the plaster won&rsquo;t be able to evenly absorb the coat. This can cause the later coats of paint to not adhere to the mist coat or plaster, leaving behind flaking, peeling, or bubbling paint. Even if it doesn&rsquo;t flake or peel right away, a thick primary layer of mist coat can also cause the final paint job to look uneven.</p></div>

Derek did excellent work painting our triple garage doors and staining the large front door and trim. Not a drop of paint got anywhere it was not meant to be. We will certainly hire him again for any future painting. His work is top quality.

Jason and BJ painted our kitchen and laundry room cabinets. They did a great job and we could not be happier! We spent some time researching different finishes, resurfacing and even installing new cabinets. So glad we went with 2nd Street Painting - our cabinets look brand new! The work was done...

O'Brien's crew did superb work. The prep work included a great deal of sanding, and was done better than I could have done it myself. His crew painted many windows, which look great! They were very careful to protect the furniture and floors, and to close off the areas being sanded (in case...

They did great. An amazing amount of prep work. They were quite a bit more expensive than the "cut rate" outfit we used last time, and you get what you pay for. They ended up removing a good bit of the old paint and primed and painted everything. The did a lot of surface preparation (filling in...

He was supposed to come at 10am. We called at 10:45 and he finally showed up with 2 frightening individuals that I'm not even sure knew how to paint. We ended up spending a ton of money on paint beyond what they charged. At the end my whole ceiling was streaked. They should have painted...
