How long does chalk paint last?

• <div><p>This largely depends on your environment and how well the paint was sealed. Properly sealed chalk paint furniture that isn’t regularly dinged by toys or steel boots can last 5 years or—often significantly—longer. However, if it isn’t sealed correctly or is subject to regular wear and tear, you can expect the coat to last 3 years or less. </p></div>

Can I repaint only a few spots in a room?

• <div><p>Rather than learning how to repaint a room in its entirety, you might want to touch up areas that are showing worn paint or damage. Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-match-paint-after-patching-wall.htm">how to match the paint color already on the walls</a> can be challenging, though. If you don’t have any of the original paint, your local hardware store might have a record in your account of your past paint color purchases. Otherwise, remove and take a small piece of painted drywall to the hardware store to do paint matching. Test the new paint in a hidden area to be sure it matches. </p></div>

Q: Should you remove baseboards before painting them?

• <div><p>You should typically be able to paint baseboards without removing them. If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-baseboards.htm">remove baseboards</a> for painting, you risk creating large nail holes or cracks when putting them back in place after the job is complete. If you need to remove the feature, it is possible to remove baseboards, paint them in another location, and reinstall them.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to leave paint brushes in water overnight?

• <div><p>The only time that it's okay to leave a paintbrush in water overnight is when you're trying to remove dried-on paint. However, don't allow the bristles to rest on the bottom of the container. Remember that soaking it longer than necessary can damage the brush.</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>

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...
