Do you need to prime composite decking before painting?

• <div><p>It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint over already painted metal?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint over already painted metal, but&mdash;before painting&mdash;you&rsquo;ll want to use sandpaper on the area to achieve a rough surface. This helps prevent the paint from peeling or flaking. Remove damaged paint with 120-grit sandpaper. If the paint is in good condition, use 240-grit sandpaper. Brush off any dust before applying the primer. </p></div>

Q: When should I use flat paint?

• <div><p>Use flat paint in the rooms that don&rsquo;t need a lot of cleaning. Flat paint works well in bedrooms, where there is low human traffic, and having the walls soak up light keeps the look and vibe calm. Flat paint also hides imperfections, so if you spot a crack, dent, or patch in your wall, choose flat paint over something shinier. </p></div>

Q: Do services include low-VOC or eco-friendly paint options?

• <div><p>Yes, many professionals offer low-VOC and eco-friendly paints to improve indoor air quality.</p></div>

Q: How do painters price their work?

• <div><p>When estimating their costs, painters include the cost of the physical materials they&rsquo;ll need (like paint, tape, caulk, and masking plastic) as well as the labor costs of the painters doing the job. They may also need to consider transportation and other business expenses, like insurance. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">average cost to paint the exterior of a house</a> is about $3,100, but your specific price will depend on the size of your home, which contractors you choose, and other factors.</p></div>

I have a big two story house that needed the trim painted and the front porch repainted. The trim and the porch had not been painted since '95. Some wood needed replacement. I chose Elite Pro to do the work. Partially because of the excellent reviews but what made the decision easy was talking...

Jiri visited my home with the painter (Gabriel) and was very polite. Gabriel kept my new home very clean and was a very hard worker. My only frustration was that Jiri more or less made me buy the work by the day, but then was a bit conservative with how much could be accomplished in one day.

I had called this contractor to get a quote on painting the exterior of our house which I waited a week and a half for. On the day of the appointment the contractor calls and says he's not going to be able to make it because he's to busy for the rest of the year. You would have thought if he...

We have been lucky to be able to have Mike Dunn paint and wallpaper for us for many, many years. He is a superb craftsman: meticulous at all aspects of his job. He isn't as fast as some painters and sometimes he just isn't available when you want him, but the wait is more than worth it. He is...
