"Excellent company. Recently moved to Rolla, MO. Luncsford Painting showed up as scheduled to do an estimate. He took the time to look the job over. Then within the day he got back with us with a written bid. We have a 3 story (from the side) home made out of rough cut lumber. Itâ s a big job. Luncsford Painting arrive the day they said.

Micklitz Construction can do anything from trimming trees, all the way to remodeling a front porch or patio. Our main source, is yard work around houses to please clients, but also pressure washing, painting, insulation, and remodeling. I have been a handy man for these kind of jobs for over 3 years. I have a lot of experience because my father runs his own construction company for remodeling, plumbing, and tile work for his clients. I feel to be an all around hard worker and an easy employee whenever the time is needed.

New business looking to build a brand. For all your construction or home improvement needs. No job to big or small!

"Project took longer than expected even with a team of 4-5 guys in and out a day. Everything that went wrong or caused them delay was somehow our houses fault or the items we bought to be replaced. We bought sticky floor plastic to put down on our floors/stairs after 2 days because the floor covering they were using were useless and was causing our carpet to get stains. At times we could hear team members complaining about the job which was very unprofessional since we were paying them. When the shower head and handle were installed it was not attached to anything so the wall would just bend in if lightly pushed. This was fixed after my husband brought it up. Early on we expressed our concerned for the drywall finishing on one side of the shower but we’ were assured it would be fixed and smoothed out but was not the case and was just painted over and left. Paid 200$ for trim/ install and some was left scratched up and unfinished. The sanding/ painting is very sloppy and left unfinished in my opinion. After they claimed complete went to take a shower and had no hot water. Informed them and was told I they thought it was our hot water heater when actually it was because the plumber didn’t check the setting of the handle befor leaving. He had to come back to adjust. Not even 24hours after they “completed” our bathroom the transition strips came off and we had to attach them ourselves. The bathroom door wouldn’t shut and needed to be trimmed we let them know but there was no response. Do not pay until you are 100% happy with their work or you may be ghosted."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

Improper hanging can damage the artwork, misalign it, and decrease its visual appeal, potentially compromising its structural integrity.

Sprayers use up to 30% more paint than rollers because of overspray. Some ways you can minimize the amount of wasted paint include selecting the best paint sprayer for the job, choosing a lower pressure sprayer and using a lower pressure setting, keeping the sprayer well-maintained, not spraying on a windy day, and holding the sprayer at an appropriate distance from the surface. 

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

You can calculate a painting charge by starting with the square footage of the area you painted. If you painted one room that’s 11x32 feet (132 square feet), charging $5 per square foot would get you $660 in labor costs (132x5). You may also choose to charge extra for intricate work (such as baseboards or crown molding) or painting jobs done in complex locations. Then, you’ll need to charge for the materials used, including primer and paint, and tools like brushes, drop cloths, and ladders.
