What is the most common barn color?

• <div><p>Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.</p></div>

Q: Why does zero-VOC paint still smell?

• <div><p>While no-VOC paints don&rsquo;t contain the chemical compounds that are toxic when they&rsquo;re outgassed, they can still have an odor. This is because odors can come from other chemicals in the paint that aren&rsquo;t classified as VOCs. Again, ventilation is key, especially if you plan to sleep in the room on the same day as you paint. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint my wood floors without sanding them?

• <div><p>Sanding a wood floor can be a lot of work, especially if the room is large. However, if you skip this step, the paint might not stick properly to the floor. Over time, your paint can peel or chip. Eventually, you may need to repaint the floor all over again. Save your time and money by sanding the floor the first time.</p></div>

Q: Should I use a brush or a roller for a paint touch-up?

• <div><p>When applying the first coat of touch-up paint, it is best to use a paint roller. A roller allows you to get a thin layer of paint to the area to avoid an unsightly blend with the old coat of paint. However, if you need to touch up the area a second time after the first coat has dried, a small brush will work best to avoid applying too much paint. </p></div>

Q: Which paint roller is best for walls?

• <div><p>A 7 to 12-inch wide microfiber or synthetic paint roller with a nap of 3/8 to 1/2 an inch will give you smooth, even paint coverage on interior walls. Before getting started, wrap painter&rsquo;s tape around the roller cover to remove any lint or fibers that may end up embedded in the paint, ruining your even finish.</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.
