How long does paint last?

• <div><p>Most exterior paints last between <b>five and 10</b> <b>years</b>. Your region’s climate and the quality of the primer and paint influence the total longevity. Additionally, the surface you paint over impacts your lifespan, as wood needs more frequent recoats than brick. </p><p>Most interior paint jobs can last anywhere between <b>three to 10 years</b>, depending on your lifestyle. If you have small children or pets that make the walls messy, you might need to repaint on the earlier side. However, if you have a quiet home, you can get several years out of your current paint job. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to paint baseboards with carpet?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve already installed your carpet and your baseboards need a fresh coat, painter&rsquo;s tape can help ensure the paint stays on the wall and off the flooring. Be sure to add a margin of 2 to 3 inches of tape along the carpet to give yourself extra space for any unexpected spills or drips. You should also lay down a plastic tarp and secure it as close to the wall as possible with painter&rsquo;s tape.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint vinyl baseboards?

• <div><p>You can certainly paint vinyl baseboards, but you may want to consider why you would. Vinyl baseboards are not very expensive, and if you&rsquo;re considering painting baseboards over 5 years old, you may want to consider simply replacing them with a color you like&mdash;there is an enormous range of color options for this material, and replacement won&rsquo;t cost too much more than painting them. </p></div>

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: When should you remove painters tape after caulking?

• <div><p>If you are caulking, painter&rsquo;s tape should be removed before the caulk starts to set. It only takes 30 to 60 minutes for the caulk to dry, so this should be done fairly quickly.</p></div>

We removed the carpet on the 2nd and third floors in an 1870s house and found the hardwood in a variety of conditions, some with paints, a few bad spots etc. Don took them all back to their original beauty. The difference is amazing and it adds incredible value to the house. We highly recommend...

They responded promptly and cleaned up well but the drywall work they did was noticeable in some places and they forgot to sand before they painted so I had them come back and re-do those areas, which they did. I am a property manager so I wanted it right for my clients. I would recommend them...

Everyone was extremely courteous and professional. I provided all the paint according to the specs given to me by the painters. The painters confirmed arrival time the night before and were there the next day. They moved all the furniture and were very careful not to get any paint on the...
