Are expensive paint brands better than budget paint brands?

• <div><p>In some cases, expensive, premium paint brands are better than their budget paint brand competitors, but that isn’t always the case. BEHR® and PPG Paint® companies are moderately priced and still offer great coverage and durability. What’s more, each paint brand offers a variety of paint lines—each with its own pros and cons.</p></div>

Q: Is painting a driveway a good idea?

• <div><p>Painting a driveway can be a good idea for specific situations. It offers aesthetic improvements, helps protect the surface from UV damage and stains, and can extend the driveway's life span. It's beneficial for driveways in relatively good condition that need a refresh or color enhancement. However, painting is unsuitable for severely cracked or damaged surfaces, as it won't address structural issues. Additionally, proper preparation, priming, and choice of paint are crucial for a successful outcome. </p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait to paint over the caulk?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to wait at least two hours before you paint over a freshly applied caulk. This time frame is the bare minimum, however. If you live in a humid region or a cool climate, you&rsquo;ll need to wait even longer. A good rule of thumb is to wait a solid 24 hours for the caulk to dry to be on the safe side.</p></div>

Q: Can You Paint Over Limewash?

• <div><p>Yes. If you change your mind at some point in the future, you can paint over your limewash. To get an even coat of paint, you should first prep your surface by cleaning it thoroughly and applying an appropriate primer. Since limewash has a matte finish once it&rsquo;s dry, you likely don&rsquo;t even need to sand it first.</p></div>

Q: Do professional painters prep walls?

• <div><p>A professional painter will typically prep the walls to ensure a longer-lasting, smoother paint job. Prepping the walls can involve scraping off debris or flaked paint, filling in grooves or nail holes, sanding, cleaning, applying a coat of primer, taping the trim, and removing outlet covers. You should ask your painter before hiring about their process to make sure it&rsquo;s in line with your expectations and needs.</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...
