How do you paint a brick chimney?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-brick-home-exteriors.htm">how to paint a brick chimney</a>, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.</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>

Q: Why are bubbles appearing when I paint?

• <div><p>Bubbles can appear during painting for several reasons, but poor adhesion or trapped moisture are the most common. Painting over dirty, wet, or improperly prepared surfaces leads to air or moisture getting stuck under the paint layer. Using the wrong tools, applying paint too thickly, or working in extreme temperatures and humidity can also cause bubbling. In some cases, incompatible layers of old and new paint types, like latex over oil-based, create tension, leading to blisters and bubbles. </p></div>

Q: How long does magnetic paint last?

• <div><p>Like any paint, the magnetic type has a shelf life. Depending on the formula and manufacturer, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-paint-last.htm">paint can last</a> between 12 months and 5 years for an unopened can. But even magnetic paint with a five-year shelf life can go bad sooner, depending on the storage location and temperature. Opening the tin and improperly resealing it also expedites expiration.</p><p>If your paint smells funky and is still lumpy after stirring, this is a sign it isn&rsquo;t usable anymore.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint galvanized chain link fencing?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.</p></div>

This firm was outstanding to deal with. Very professional staff and what they promised they did. Even came back to touch up after it rained that night and some of the paint did not dry so it washed off. Came back as promised and finished the job. Highly recommend.

"Slower than expected; due to rain and storms. Normally a crew of 4 experienced painters showed up at 9 am and often stayed until 5:30 or 6 pm. They laid tarps everywhere and were respectful to our neighbors. Excellent detail and trim work. They stored all equipment and replaced deck furniture daily. Excellent crew. Quiet and efficient."
