Q: Do you measure from inside or outside?

• <div><p>When determining the correct size of replacement windows you need for your home, you must take the horizontal and vertical measurements from inside, not outside. To measure the window horizontally, place the tape measure across the two inside window jambs. To take a vertical measurement, place the tape measure between the sill and head jamb.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove paint without sanding?

• <div><p>You can find chemical and naturally derived paint thinners to remove paint without as much sanding. A heat gun or pressure washer can also remove paint from large areas. However, sanding is often the best way to remove the final bits of paint that remain on the surface.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a floor grinder to remove paint from concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, but with caution. A floor grinder is intended to level and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-polish-concrete-floors.htm">polish concrete</a>, so it is a very powerful tool. To remove paint, the floor grinder should be set to 35 square feet per minute or less to minimize the pressure without the use of pocket weights. You might need to go over the surface two times to get any paint that has sunk into the concrete&rsquo;s pores.</p></div>

Q: Can you sell a house with lead paint?

• <div><p>You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won&rsquo;t cause any problems later on.</p></div>

Q: Can you apply waterproofing over paint?

• <div><p>You can apply waterproofing over paint, but you won't get as much protection as you would if you painted the surface with a waterproof paint from the get-go. Not all waterproofing methods are compatible with painted surfaces, and they may not adhere well. This is especially true if the paint is glossy, old, or flaking. Waterproofing sealers are primarily meant to be applied to porous surfaces, like concrete, wood, or brick. </p></div>

It went well. The only thing I didn't like was when gutters were replaced they were a different size than the gutters that were removed. We had just had the house painted so now house has to be repainted where the old gutters touched the house.

"I had the absolute best experience choosing JRC Improvement for a complete living room ceiling takedown and install. Any drywall work is always messy, however, Jason sealed off my living room so well, it truly contained the expected dust. Jason was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. After completing the entire ceiling, he primed, and painted beautifully. The craftsmanship and attention to detail he used, led to the entire project exceeding expectations. My ceiling is flawless, and he also installed a brand new fan. Extremely easy to work with, Jason, restored my faith in contractors. I would without hesitation, recommend Jason, and JRC Improvement for any home project!"
