Q: Do you have to sand before using chalk paint?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t have to, but, on certain surfaces, sanding will allow the paint to adhere more easily.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when I should repaint my house?

• <div><p>When you should repaint your house is largely up to you since it&rsquo;s primarily a cosmetic update, but many people choose to repaint when they notice signs of fading, bubbling, or peeling paint. You might also want to repaint prior to selling your home to boost its resale value or if you want a new color.</p></div>

Q: What paint is best for textured walls?

• <div><p>Latex paint is one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">best paint types</a> for textured walls. This water-based paint is fast-drying and has low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safer and more convenient for painting walls that require several coats of paint. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re painting exterior walls, you can also consider using oil-based paint, but keep in mind that it takes much longer to dry and can slow your project down considerably.</p></div>

Q: Is satin or flat paint better?

• <div><p>Satin paint is better for high-traffic spaces that need to hold up to a lot of cleaning. It&rsquo;s also best for spaces where walls are free of imperfections since the light reflecting off a glossy satin finish will highlight them even more. On the other end of the spectrum, think of flat paint for walls with dents or divots you want to conceal. Since flat paint isn&rsquo;t as strong as satin paint, it&rsquo;s not great for spaces that need a lot of cleaning. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t pressure wash before painting?

• <div><p>If the exterior walls are not thoroughly cleaned before a paint job, the paint could stick to the grime, creating obvious imperfections along the way. Beyond that, painting over a freshly-cleaned wall just about doubles the lifespan of the paint, from three or four years to seven to ten years. </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 did an absolutely amazing job! They forced some dry wall and painted all my walls and one accent wall and itâ s beautiful! They were timely and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to someone.

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...

Some one backed into my car so their insurance dictated I go to Elite Autohaus, but what a great find. They were professional, thorough and friendly. They even arranged for a rental car for me for the two days it took to repair my car. And best of all, my car looks like new - a perfect job...
