"They were very punctual and polite. They were at my home 6 days at week on schedule. I totally trusted them in my home based on a referral. Diaz was very polite also even though he was not on the job very much. There were several items that were broken in my basement. With that being said, I did not have everything moved out before they began. I realize they are not a moving firm. Diaz did come and repair the items that were broken for the most part. A very expensive built in desk was deeply scratched, so now my warranty is invalid. The job itself was done very nice. I did have to call an electrician back to repair some of the outlets that I was told was wired incorrectly. I had to have an outlet moved that I was told that was not up to code. Also, the beams were not spaced properly. They were not either 12 or 18 inches apart. Some were 9 inches and others were 15 inches. Also, my steps were not replaced properly. I now have a small half step that was not there before the job. When I told him about the issue, he said they were put back exactly as they were. Everyone that came into the basement after the job was tripping which never happened within 30 years of me living in my home. The half step is not ideal but the steps were not installed properly. They did an excellent job with painting. The paint looks beautiful. I would hire them again to paint but not for major construction."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

The type of paint and finish you choose impacts the overall cost of your painting project. Some of the most common types of paint include:

  • Primer: $10–$20 per gallon

  • Flat or matte finish: $10–$70 per gallon

  • Eggshell or satin finish: $12–$72 per gallon

  • Semi-gloss finish: $14–$74 per gallon

  • High-gloss finish: $16–$76 per gallon

Painting the exterior of your home is a moderate to advanced DIY project and requires certain tools, supplies, experience, and time. Due to the intricacies and time involved, exterior painting is usually best left to a pro, but can be tackled by an enthusiastic homeowner.

It’s fine to paint over acrylic paint with latex paint as long as the surface is properly prepped. If your paint surface isn’t glossy, you should be able to apply your paint or primer directly to it. If your acrylic surface is glossy, rough up the surface with some sandpaper first and use a good primer to ensure proper adhesion for your latex paint.

Many DIYers like to spray paint cabinets because it provides a more even-looking finish than painting with a brush. However, getting comfortable with a spray painter takes time and without practice, you may not spray the surfaces evenly. Take some time to practice painting with a HVLP sprayer on cardboard or scrap wood before diving into your project.

Limewash paint does not require sealing in the traditional sense. Unlike other paints, limewash forms a breathable, matte finish that evaporates moisture from the surface. However, a sealer or topcoat adds protection or durability. It can help enhance the paint's dirt, moisture, and abrasion resistance. Sealing limewash may alter its appearance, potentially affecting its natural matte finish. Therefore, whether to seal limewash depends on the project's specific requirements and desired aesthetic outcome.
