Q: Should I prime over old exterior paint?

• <div><p>Priming over old exterior paint is fine if the original paint is not cracked, chipped, and peeling. When that is the case, you need to scrape it off and sand first. Primer improves adhesion, seals stains, and provides a consistent base for the new paint. It also enhances the paint's durability and helps achieve a more uniform finish. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint my business interior myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional painters ensure even coverage, durability, and compliance with workplace safety regulations.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do you need to paint a room?

• <div><p>In most cases, you&rsquo;ll need two coats of paint to ensure proper coverage. If you put down a coat of primer first, you could get away with a single coat of paint, but you&rsquo;ll likely still need two coats. The only exception would be if you&rsquo;re painting with a light color over a dark color, in which case you may need three or four coats of paint to ensure the dark color doesn&rsquo;t show through the new paint. </p></div>

Q: Can a beginner use a paint sprayer?

• <div><p>Beginners can absolutely use a paint sprayer, but there is some technique involved, so you&rsquo;ll have to spend some time learning how to use your sprayer. It&rsquo;s a good idea to practice on a scrap surface before moving to your actual painting project to get used to using the sprayer. This can help avoid over spraying, which can lead to drips, bubbles, and other imperfections on your finished product. </p></div>

Q: Will paint stick to vinyl fencing?

• <div><p>If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-vinyl-siding.htm">you can paint vinyl siding</a> with the proper preparation.</p></div>

Paint job was good but getting there was a disaster. One week job took 18 weeks to complete. Made commitments to show up and then didn't, usually without explanation. Never an apology. Get ready for frustration, aggravation and grief.

Larry applied Outlast log preservative on the exterior of my new log home, caulked and chinked too. He is truly an expert on log cabin preservation. He is also staining the interior too when we get the walls covered with wood paneling.

Very neat and professional painter. Great communication. I have to stress neat, there was not so much as a drop of paint on the walls or floor. The only thing this man left behind was a beautiful paint job
