Q: Can you just paint over soot?

• <div><p>No, you cannot paint over soot. Soot is a type of contaminant and if not properly removed can cause further damage to your paint and walls. Adding paint directly over soot can result in your paint color changing in appearance and potentially peeling over time. </p></div>

Q: How long does commercial painting take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 3-10 days, depending on the size of the space, drying times, and number of coats required.</p></div>

Q: Can you wallpaper or paint over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.</p></div>

Q: Can caulk alternatives be painted over?

• <div><p>Some caulk alternatives, such as silicone putty and spray foam, can be painted over once they have cured. However, sealant tape and caulk strips cannot be painted. Always check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions to ensure the product is suitable for painting, and use the appropriate type of paint for the material.</p></div>

Q: What type of finish should I use?

• <div><p>A finishing layer is an important step in the staining process. A top coat helps make a stain last longer by protecting it from spills, scratches, and natural weathering.</p><p>A lacquer finish is thin, fast-drying, and best used for cabinets, molding, and trim. It&rsquo;s not recommended for outdoor furniture. Another option is varnish, which has a glossy finish with a protective film and is often used on outdoor wood objects. Polyurethane, known as &ldquo;liquid plastic,&rdquo; dries quickly but doesn&rsquo;t hold up well in the heat. Lastly, a shellac finish adds a warm tint to wood but is affected by heat.</p></div>

Derek painted the entire main floor of the residence which is 2150 ft.² with ceilings in access of 25 feet in height. His ability to do the job is exceptional, an application and cleanup. He?s the only painter I?ve used that I didn?t have to ask him to caulk corners of walls before he painted...

Once the glitches were resolved, everything went great! Second Street Painting was at the house on the appointed day and time. They worked quickly and efficiently, and had the job done in just two days. I would definitely use them again, and recommend them to anyone that asks about them.
