Q: Can you wait too long between coats of paint?

• <div><p>No&mdash;if you complete a full coat of paint, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-painting-techniques-make-walls-stand-out.htm">painting techniques</a> like cutting in and rolling, you could wait weeks or months between coats if you wanted. For best results, sand the first coat and clean the wall before applying the second.</p></div>

Q: Can you save a dried paintbrush?

• <div><p>With patience, you can often save a dried paintbrush. Soak the bristles overnight and clean the brush as you would any other time. You'll likely have to repeat the cleaning steps, including soaking, more than once.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime paintable wallpaper before painting?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need to apply <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn&rsquo;t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over primer as soon as it dries?

• <div><p>Most primers should dry for 24 hours before painting over them, but some primers that are marketed as quick-drying may be paintable sooner. Check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions on your primer to find out how long you should let it dry before painting. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint aluminum gutters?

• <div><p>Painting exterior metal on your home, including the gutter and downspout system, is possible. However, the process requires significant preparation work so the paint sticks well and lasts, making the task worthwhile. Thorough cleaning, caulking seams, and using high-quality primer and paint are all necessary for achieving the best results. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-paint-gutters.htm">cost to paint gutters</a> averages $160 to $960.</p></div>

I have used them for multiple jobs on multiple locations, they are amazing. They show up on time they get things right and I don’t have to call them back. I’ve had experience with other plumbers that I have to call back and they don’t respond. This one does it right the first time

Daryl, Johnny and the rest of the crew were great. Arrived on time every morning and when they finished for the day the work site was cleaned. They even skimmed to pool to make sure there was no debris . The project took 3 1/2 days and we couldn't be happier.

Andrew Was prompt from providing initial quote to beginning the project when he said he would. He painted both wood and vinyl sinding and a metal container for us and all three look terrific! Andrew works fast and keeps the area clean throughout the project.
