The work was well done. The two painters who actually performed the work were capable and easy to communicate with. One painter was clearly designated as the leader, making it clear with whom I should discuss any issues that arose during the project. John Armstrong came to the job site each day, reviewed any details with his crew, and solicited my opinion regarding how the work was going. I did experience a few minor problems, primarily small drops of paint on furniture during the interior painting portion of the project. The crew was very responsive to my request to clean the paint drops from the furniture and minimize them going forward. If I need more painting in the future, I will certainly use Magic Painting again."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/minneapolis/the-magic-painting-co-reviews-73082.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Ivanov Drywall Service","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Blake H."},"reviewBody":"Plaster turned out well, and painted beautifully."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/minneapolis/ivanov-drywall-service-reviews-2008883.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Hypro Painting, LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ERIC N."},"reviewBody":"Unlike many of the painting companies I contacted in early September regarding a small exterior painting job, Paul of Hypro Painting, responded to my inquiry about the job within 24 hours and provided an estimate for the work in just over a week.

Painting questions, answered by experts
You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.
The life span of paint on shutters depends on factors like paint quality, climate, and maintenance. High-quality exterior paint applied correctly can last 5 to 10 years. In mild climates with less extreme weather, paint may endure longer. However, exposure to harsh sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations can lead to more frequent repainting. Regular cleaning, maintenance, and timely repainting when signs of wear or fading appear can help extend the life of paint on shutters and maintain their appearance.
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’s tape. Instead, carry a damp rag with you as you paint to quickly wipe away any mistakes.
The time it takes to prep and paint a room depends wholly on the project's details. You can expect to spend at least two days on the job, including one for prepping and priming and one for applying two coats of paint. If the room is complex with many features to work around, expect to spend an additional day.
Primer is always recommended for every exterior paint job because it ensures even coverage and long-lasting color. That said, there are high-end brands of paint that market themselves to be easily used without the need for a coat of primer beforehand. It’s up to you which one you choose (and have the budget for), just as long as you read the paint manufacturer’s specific instructions on the product before getting started.
