"We are very pleased with the quality of the work performed. Work included pressure washing of the exterior of the house, pavement and walkways, and fencing; chipping of old paint; caulking; painting of wood trim, doors, shutters, downspouts, and woodwork on gallery; and replacement of rotten wood. The crew was very respectful of us and our property (well, we did lose several plants during the pressure washing and painting stages when the crews were working in the area of our flower beds)."

"This is my second time using Phillip and his team for some routine maintenance on my house. Phillip is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure that all jobs are done to his standards. His team works hard, and all the guys are friendly. They show up on time, and while not always on site, Phillip is in constant communication regarding the plans for the day and any issues or delays that come up. They had no issue adding on a couple small tasks that weren’t included in my original request.

Painting questions, answered by experts

You can test to see if your mist coat has worked by using masking tape after the drying period. Apply masking tape to an inconspicuous area of the wall after the mist coat has had at least 24 hours to dry. Then, peel off the tape. It should come up clear, with no paint residue. If it does have paint residue, you may need to remove the mist coat and try coating the plaster again with a different ratio of paint and water.

You should use three coats of paint when applying to a heavily textured or porous surface. Sometimes painting a lighter color over a darker color requires three coats of paint or more to achieve full, even coverage. Trim or baseboards should also get three coats of paint.

Yes. A gallon of paint covers around 400 square feet, so two gallons will be enough for one coat in a 400-square-foot room or two coats in an 800-square-foot room. However, if you have a very large room or you’re painting an open space or an entire floor of your home, you may need more than two gallons.

Yes, washable bathroom paint is widely available. Manufacturers specially formulate washable bathroom paint to resist damage from frequent cleaning and scrubbing, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like bathrooms. This type of paint generally comes with a semi-gloss or satin finish that you can easily wipe clean with a damp cloth. Additionally, because washable paint has more binding agents than regular paint, it tends to be more durable and lasts longer after application.

Painting a bathroom can help increase the value of your home by hundreds or even thousands of dollars, in some cases. A well-painted bathroom makes the space look cleaner and fresher, giving potential buyers the impression that the home is well-maintained, which can boost overall appeal. Plus, switching to mildew-resistant paint can protect your bathroom and contribute to its appeal.
