"I recently had All Pro Remodeling renovate my bathroom and complete a few other projects around my home, and I was very satisfied with the results. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and reliable—qualities that were hard to find with previous companies I had contacted over the past three years. What really stood out to me was their commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly. They brought all their own supplies and coordinated with me to align their schedule with the delivery of materials I had ordered. The communication was excellent, and the quality of their work was exactly what I had been hoping for. I will definitely be reaching out to them again for any future projects."

"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

First, make sure that you tape off all the areas that you don’t want to paint black. It’s harder to paint a light color over black than to touch up any lighter spots you missed. Once you’ve taped it off, make sure that the surface is clean and smooth, and then prime the wall with a tinted primer in gray. This step will help to transition from a lighter color to a darker one.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

No, you can't apply limewash with a roller and expect good results. Limewash is as much a technique as it is a type of paint, and a freehand application with a brush is part of that technique. Hand brushing a large area can be tiring, but limewash goes on easily and only requires thin coats to be effective.

Enamel paints that are oil- or lacquer-based are waterproof, making them great for outdoor surfaces. But water-based enamel paints are not waterproof, so double-check the paint can before painting your patio furniture.

You can technically use wall paint on a ceiling, but it’s not ideal. Wall paint is thinner and more prone to dripping, which makes it harder—and messier—to apply overhead. Any significant level of sheen can highlight ceiling imperfections and create glare from lighting. Flat ceiling paint is the better choice for a smooth, even finish that hides flaws.
