Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Phone jack installation can be a complicated project that requires cutting holes into just the right location in the wall and running delicate wiring. This sort of job is best left to the professionals. 

Limewash paint does not require sealing in the traditional sense. Unlike other paints, limewash forms a breathable, matte finish that evaporates moisture from the surface. However, a sealer or topcoat adds protection or durability. It can help enhance the paint's dirt, moisture, and abrasion resistance. Sealing limewash may alter its appearance, potentially affecting its natural matte finish. Therefore, whether to seal limewash depends on the project's specific requirements and desired aesthetic outcome.

Painted vinyl siding can last 10 years or longer. To ensure long-lasting results, be sure to use vinyl-friendly paint as well as proper preparation and application techniques. Note that if you live in a harsher climate with frequent storms or excessive heat, for example, your vinyl siding paint job may not last as long.

DIY is possible, but professional painters ensure even coverage, durability, and compliance with workplace safety regulations.

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.
