"Installed roof on new construction home. 1 yr later several problems and signs of leaking. The roof has many low nails, some very low nails and some of those are blown all the way through. There are shingles missing right at the valley and have been missing for a while, the felt is not black at all anymore. There are probably 40 holes through the shingles where the siding installers nailed their pump jacks through the roof. There is a snow valley on the west side of the home where the valley is backwards allowing water to run underneath the snow valley. There are several face nails throughout the roof that were never sealed. There are a few face nails that serve no purpose where someone may have shot a nail gun on accident and did not replace the shingle. Overall the roof has many areas that need addressed. Contractor not taking responsibility. Would NEVER recommend!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

No, painting shower tile doesn’t last and is better reserved as a temporary solution to refreshing the look of old tiles. Shower tile paint may last around one to five years, depending on how well you prep the surface before painting, the type of paint you use, the type of tile in your shower, and how often you use the shower.

Absolutely. Natural light, incandescent bulbs, and LED lighting all impact how a color appears. For example, a cool gray under daylight might look slightly blue under warm interior lighting. That’s why it’s smart to check color matches at different times of day and under various lighting conditions. If a color match appears only slightly off, lighting may be the reason.

The best exterior paint type to use on a stone house is an acrylic latex, preferably a semi-gloss or eggshell, as it is durable and easy to clean. Not only is it easy to work with and readily available in a multitude of colors, acrylic latex paint is also one of the best choices for an eco-, kid-, and pet-friendly paint.

In most cases, you have to sand crown molding before painting. This is due to the nature and design of molding. It’s not a flat wall, so uneven surfaces will be immediately noticeable once that paint dries. Sanding down the surface smooths everything out, leading to a satisfactory result. If the trim is already smooth, such as with new crown molding, you can give it a light sand with 120-grit sandpaper.

If you’re painting shiplap, the best way to get full coverage is actually to use both a paintbrush and a roller. You can start by using a brush to cut in the edges and fill in the gaps and finer grooves of the wood. Then, you can go back over the entire space with a roller to ensure an even, smooth finish.
