"Edwin (aka Cappy} was hired to paint and provide carpentry service for my 1885 family home in Friendship, Maine. The home has been in the family for generations and is very special to us. Cappy and his crew scraped, primed and painted the main house as well as provided carpentry as needed. His crew resheathed, shingled and stained 3 outbuilding and repaired thresholds and trim on the same. the house is on an island so the logistics were complicated. Cappys crew accomplished all of the work in less than two weeks and the results exceeded my expectations. I will hire them again when needed, you should too."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

The heaviest paint when dry is paint that has a thick pigment and additives like sand or some other aggregate. Oil-based paints can take the longest to dry because of their thicker pigments and higher densities, while water-based paints might be lighter when dry because the weight of the water reduces as it evaporates from the paint.

Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.

You should not mix ceiling paint with wall paint. The results will be unpredictable, and you might end up with a finish that doesn’t perform well on either surface. For example, the flatness of the ceiling paint may hamper the durability of the wall paint. It’s best to use each type of paint as intended to get the best look and more longevity.

In all cases, it’s more affordable to DIY paint than hire a professional painter, as you’ll save on labor costs, which makes up the large majority of your total when you hire a pro. However, you get what you pay for. Professionals have the equipment and years of experience to tackle a job much more efficiently than most homeowners, and they typically provide better results. It’s often worth the expense to save time and secure a more professional appearance for your paint job.

If you want your paint to have a smooth finish, the technique you use is very important. Keep your brush at a 90-degree angle while applying the paint and feather as you go. Between coats, sand the wall lightly using a very high grit sand sponge of at least 220 grit.
