"This was my first remodeling project as an investor, so I paid almost 55% of the total quote upfront. I didn't even had the properly written contract, I just believed his words. They kept making excuses to delay the project. I was afraid that he might leave the project in the middle, so kept taking his excuses. But when I realized that my project is not moving, I threatened to sue them then they wrote another contract with end date. They did finished the contract almost close to the date in the new contract though. They just did lousy job of hiding problems rather than fixing it. At many occasions, I had to point out at things that they did incorrectly. At the end of the project, they were putting lot of pressure on me to pay off the remaining money without finishing there work completely. For washer dryer they did not provide drain & electric outlet, I came to know about this through realtor when I put the house for sail. For the new bathroom sink, he drained it to some old gas pipeline. I had to loose one buyers contract due to these problem & had to pay extra to fix these problems."

Jack of all trades handyman services. I offer lower prices because I have low overhead costs. I don't get paid until your happy. I am a skilled tradesman for the Army Corp of engineers full time but I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to devote 3 days a week or more on my side business. I use other skilled craftsman and laborers when needed depending on the job. I work with clients budgets and both parties always leave happy.

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

This may come down to personal preference, but it’s generally best to paint the ceiling before you paint the walls. Why? Painting the ceiling can be more physically demanding, and painting the ceiling last may result in drips or splatters that would mess up freshly painted walls. By painting the ceiling first, you’ll avoid having to touch up walls after any painting accidents. It may not matter, though, if you’re painting the ceiling the same color as the walls.

You'll need at least two coats of paint when painting your stair railings, despite some manufacturers' claims of single-coat coverage. This is necessary mostly because there are often many corners and details that make it difficult to cover all surfaces evenly with a single coat. Adding a second coat evens out the finish and provides added durability.

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’s best to use primer first to help your paint stick properly.

Depending on your lighting and design style, some finishes will enhance certain colors to your liking more than others. For example, high-gloss finishes can intensify deeper shades such as navy blue and emerald green, making them feel luxurious and bold. On the other hand, you may appreciate how soft pastels and neutrals have a more calming, smooth feel in matte or eggshell finishes.

Chalk paint can be applied without sanding first. Keep in mind that while there are a lot of chalk paint color options available, there aren’t as many choices as latex or oil-based paint.

You can also learn how to paint furniture without sanding using a liquid deglosser, sometimes referred to as liquid sandpaper. This can remove any old paint, gloss, or varnish, without the need to manually sand. Apply the deglosser using a cloth, then wait for the chemical to penetrate through the surface. Once it soaks through, you should be able to wipe away the residue with a towel.
