"All of these 5 star reviews got dumped on the Angi page, dated 2/2024. All show shiny basements & what appears to be excellent work & reviews claiming excellent communication. It's how I came about the referral - as well as their Facebook ads. Not sure if they bit off more than they could chew, but communication has been awful if not non-existent. The home visit seemed great! But I had to email them for the quote afterwords. Then a visit to the showroom a month later was dirty, plant dirt lying around, no bathroom available to the customers, giant weeds outside of the building they purchased. If you're presenting yourself as professional contractors, appearance of a showroom where you host customers is a reflection of your work. I didn't hear from them in over 4 wks. I emailed & was met with an excuse & zero delivery of promise for final proposal. We are taking our business elsewhere. We just wasted 3 months for nothing."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Refinishing wood steps before painting the surrounding walls or trim is the best option. Sanding stair treads creates fine dust that can settle on freshly painted surfaces and interfere with adhesion. Plus, refinishing involves heavy foot traffic, equipment, and potential splashes from stain or sealant, which can damage new paint. By tackling the stairs first, you reduce the risk of damaging painted walls and can more easily tape off and protect surfaces during painting.

Most projects take 3-10 days, depending on the size of the space, drying times, and number of coats required.

You should use either a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of paint to paint thinner in most cases. The amount of paint should always be higher than the amount of paint thinner.

For information on how long it will take for paint to dry on a metal roof, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically it will take a few hours to dry but may need to be left for up to 24 hours to cure fully—but up to 10 days is better yet.

Technically, yes, there are lawn “paints” that you can use to dye your lawn to a greener color, often made out of nontoxic biodegradable materials. This is a potential band-aid to your problem, but it rarely has perfect results. First, yellowed grass is usually frail and lacks the springiness of healthy grass, so your lawn may still look unhealthy no matter the color. Second, lawn paints only work for the short term, and wash away after a couple of months (depending on your climate).
