My name is Kevin Granahan. I'm a painting and wallpapering contractor for residential and commercial projects in Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens & Brooklyn. I bring over 20+ yrs experience, offering professional,neat, meticulous work at reasonable rates. We pride ourselves on treating each project, from estimate to completion, as if it were our own.

"I hired Shamrock Painting & Wallpapering to paint my apartment before I put it up for sale. Kevin, the owner, did a great job for a reasonable price, and within our agreed-upon timeframe. He was able to deal with cracks and other cosmetic defects that had developed in the walls over the years I'd lived there, and the walls were in perfect condition by the time he was done. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again, and would recommend him to anyone who was looking for a painter."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

For information on how long it will take for paint to dry on a metal roof, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically it will take a few hours to dry but may need to be left for up to 24 hours to cure fully—but up to 10 days is better yet.

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters. 

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.

While paint drying smoothly on a wall is ideal, a can full of dry paint is not. To open a can of dry paint, you’ll need a tool with a sharp edge, such as a utility knife or a box cutter. Take your tool and score the area where the lid meets the can to break through the dried-up paint. Then, use a paint can opener or a flathead screwdriver to pry the lid open and check the state of the contents. For smaller cans with plastic lids, you can run the top under hot water to loosen the lid. 

Using a roller allows you to apply a mist coat quickly to avoid uneven spots while drying, but it can create streaks and splatters from the watery paint. Applying with a paintbrush can take longer but may be less messy. There are pros and cons to using either a roller or a brush for the mist coat. The mist coat is diluted, so it can be messier to work with, but it also dries quickly.
