How much should I charge for labor to paint?

• <div><p>The average labor cost for painting in the U.S. is $2 to $6 per square foot. Research what similar pros in your area charge to get a good idea of the normal labor costs for your region. Don’t forget to add charges for materials, complicated work, and project minimums to cover your overhead, if you’re doing a smaller project. </p></div>

Q: Should you paint a front door with a brush or a roller?

• <div><p>This depends on the size and design of your door. If your door is on the smaller side and features some unique design elements, go with a brush to ensure you get in those hard-to-reach crevices without painting outside the lines. If you&rsquo;re painting a large door, like a double door or garage door, and the panels are flat, go with a roller to get the job done quickly. </p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of black paint?

• <div><p>Black paint absorbs light, so using black paint will cause your room to look darker overall. In addition to reducing ambient light, black paint can make your space feel smaller because it hides depth and contours. The other major drawback is that black paint is harder to paint over with a lighter color. You&rsquo;ll need to fully prime your wall with a good quality primer and use at least two coats of paint to get back to a lighter color after it&rsquo;s been painted black.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include painting?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include painting or staining the trim. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Can lacquer be used over any paint?

• <div><p>No. Lacquer cannot be used over oil-based paints, as it will not adhere properly to the paint. If you are using water-based paints, sometimes called latex paints, you can use lacquer over the paint. If you want to use lacquer on something covered in an oil-based paint, you must first strip the paint or prime the surface and paint over it with a latex-based paint. </p></div>

Was told I would need to have interior drain-tile system installed. This did not solve my problem at all as I still have efflorescence on my walls plus put up with a messed up basement and holes cut in the ceiling drywall to reinstall steel beams. The only satisfaction they could give me was an...

We were very happy with the results. The work really transformed the appearance of our home interior. Dates for work were agreed upon and kept. Phone calls were always returned promptly. This company will probably not be the cheapest, but it will be one of the best groups with which to work....

We had almost our entire first floor painted, ceilings and walls. We also had a room in our lower level walkout drywalled. We really needed a whole house deep clean. I called Anthony at Details Cleaning and he couldn't be more helpful. We set up two dates to do the work since it could not...

He was amazing. He had the best price for the kind and quality of windows I wanted. He and his helper would arrive in the AM, get to work, and be finished before I could believe it. He also wrapped our exterior trim. When he started, I decided I didn't like the color I had chosen. I was...

"Scott and Brian were clear and honest about expectations, and their price was very reasonable for a big project (painting my 110-year-old 3-story home). Our house was completed on time and the painters and the crew were respectful and thoughtful of all the scrapping and prepping my old house took to complete. I highly recommend them!"
