Q: Do you have to sand crown molding before painting?

• <div><p>In most cases, you have to sand crown molding before painting. This is due to the nature and design of molding. It&rsquo;s not a flat wall, so uneven surfaces will be immediately noticeable once that paint dries. Sanding down the surface smooths everything out, leading to a satisfactory result. If the trim is already smooth, such as with new crown molding, you can give it a light sand with 120-grit sandpaper. </p></div>

Q: Should you DIY or hire a pro for exterior house painting?

• <div><p>Painting the exterior of your home is a moderate to advanced DIY project and requires certain tools, supplies, experience, and time. Due to the intricacies and time involved, exterior painting is usually best left to a pro, but can be tackled by an enthusiastic homeowner. </p></div>

Q: How often should you repaint your bathroom?

• <div><p>Generally, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-bathrooms.htm">paint your bathroom</a> every three to four years. Seven years is usually the maximum time you should allow between refreshes. How often you should repaint your bathroom depends on the type of material you used on the walls or ceiling, the average moisture and humidity level in the room, and the quality of the paint.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you caulk after painting?

• <div><p>If you caulk after painting, a few things can happen that you definitely don't want to happen. For one, caulk is messy and can make for an equally messy finish. Second, applying caulk after painting might not provide proper insulation because the paint is underneath the caulk and doesn&rsquo;t add the same protection as caulk. Third, if you caulk after painting, you'll see the caulk line, which can really detract from the look of your home.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best way to paint metal?

• <div><p>Brushes, rollers, and spray paint are the best ways to paint metal surfaces, depending on your project goals. Spray paint is the easiest method for painting metal and can make painting complicated pieces with many curves and grooves a breeze. However, using traditional paint with a roller or brush creates a harder, more durable finish.</p></div>

They did just the places that required painting instead of having to do the whole house. They did scrape pretty well, but they missed a place. That was one thing I was upset about. We were traveling after that, so I didn't get a chance to bring them back. Their price was reasonable for all that...

They are very pleasant, amiable and very easy to deal with. Financing was easy with them. You do not need a construction loan. You put down 10% and then nothing else until the end. We are in upstate NY and during the coldest months the heat bill was $187.00. I used the pay $400 in our other...
