Q: Can a mist coat be too thick?

• <div><p>Yes, a mist coat can be too thick. If you don&rsquo;t dilute the mist coat enough and you apply a thick coat to the wall, the plaster won&rsquo;t be able to evenly absorb the coat. This can cause the later coats of paint to not adhere to the mist coat or plaster, leaving behind flaking, peeling, or bubbling paint. Even if it doesn&rsquo;t flake or peel right away, a thick primary layer of mist coat can also cause the final paint job to look uneven.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace paint?

• <div><p>If you have a can or two of paint that's past its prime, replacing it shouldn't be too expensive. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dolla-dolla-bills-how-much-should-you-pay-can-paint.htm">A gallon of paint costs</a> an average of <b>$25</b>. You may pay more if you want a superior quality paint or if you choose oil-based paint instead of latex or acrylic. </p><p>Buying in bulk can help you save, provided you use all the paint you purchase. For example, a 5-gallon bucket of paint tends to cost less per gallon than a pint or quart-sized can.</p></div>

Q: What is the most restful paint color for a bedroom?

• <div><p>Shades of blue, green, lavender, and brown can all evoke a sense of calm when used as bedroom paint colors. Blues and greens are traditionally associated with rest and relaxation, but soothing lavenders and rich browns can also be visually soothing to allow you a good night&rsquo;s sleep. </p></div>

Q: Where and how should I store paint rollers?

• <div><p>Store paint rollers in their original cover or a homemade one to prevent dust from getting caught in their fibers. Try wrapping them in aluminum foil, duct tape, or plastic wrap, then take it a step further and store them in a closed container to ensure they&rsquo;re always ready to go.</p><p> </p></div>

Workmanship was very good with only one flaw discovered after the installers departed. Work is not complete at this time since we are waiting for the stucco to be painted and the metal guards to be reinstalled.

Very thorough and provided excellent service. Not only did the technician clean the dryer vent, there was excess vent tubing behind the dryer that he removed to improve dryer efficiency, and he installed a new vent cover on the exterior of the house.

Gordon and Jen did so much I couldn't begin to recount it all. The work was both inside and out. I especially loved the installation and painting of floor moldings. Gordon also reworked my distillery. Wow! Great people - great work!

Eric was wonderful. The existing undersized gutters we had were causing one side of the building to flood when torrential downpours were overtaxing what was there. They up-sized to a 6" covered gutter system with an additional downspout and replaced a lot of rotten wood. Love the color, they...
