What sheen of paint should I use?

• <div><p>The best sheen depends on your needs. Satin and eggshell sheens are often recommended for siding since their lightly reflective finish can help hide imperfections while being relatively easy to clean. Semi-gloss sheen is a great fit for trim since it’s incredibly easy to clean and more durable and moisture-resistant than satin and eggshell, but if you use it for the entire surface, its more reflective properties can highlight imperfections. This is also why high-glass sheen isn’t a great fit for the entire surface.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to paint a room?

• <div><p>Consider skipping the primer if possible; it's only necessary if you need to cover something up, such as a stain or a porous surface, or if you want to switch from a dark color to a light one. If you have a steady hand and are a precise painter, you may want to consider skipping the painter&rsquo;s tape. Instead, carry a damp rag with you as you paint to quickly wipe away any mistakes.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over existing exterior paint?

• <div><p>You may or may not be able to paint over your old exterior paint. If the existing paint is in good shape, then you can paint a new layer on top. But if your paint is flaky, you'll need to scrape off the old paint before adding any new layers. Also, it&rsquo;s best to use primer first to help your paint stick properly.</p></div>

Q: How do painters determine prices?

• <div><p>Many painters determine prices for home painting jobs using a base rate per square foot. Others use square footage to estimate the amount of paint required and charge a multiple of the material cost, and some may estimate the time required and factor that in. In some cases, painters may simply offer to beat the lowest local quote you've received.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to spray paint or brush shutters?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spraying-vs-rolling-paint.htm">Spraying and brushing</a> both can lead to beautiful, evenly painted window shutters. Spraying is faster and easier, but it brings in an added cost, as paint sprayers are around <b>$100 to buy or $40 per day to rent</b>. If price is a determining factor, you can use a brush and rest assured that the results will be good nonetheless.</p></div>

They were very honest and told us that they could not do that type of repair and if we got a carpenter to do the work they would be happy to return and paint. Would definitely call them for paint jobs.

They did okay on the painting and easy stuff. Some weren't done well. They were just cut and screwed and not repaired correctly. They were a little bit expensive. I would only use them for simple stuff.

My car was hit while parked in Walmart parking lot. Steen and Berg said it looked like the passenger side of the vehicle was scraped by a shopping cart. They fixed the scrapes and repainted to right side of car and matched it to my paint.
