"I had put a conversion in from a tub to a walk in shower. But I needed professional help to do the drywall around the top, and the sides he came in. And gave me an excellent price. And did the work in a very short period of time period the work was done professionally. And he cleaned up well after his south. He had all the material he needed to do. The job with him and was very efficient. And very pleasant, I would highly recommend his company for any small job, including drywall, or other necessities around a home. Dan Greenfield"

"David replaced two smaller cabinets with a larger one in the kitchen and did a great job. Initially we told him what we wanted and he made a recommendation that we liked better. We are having David give us an estimate on a painting project. We are happy with his work and would recommend David without hesitation."

"He came to work very quickly-within a day. His work was not very good, he quoted a price for doing something -$150. When my husband said he'd do it, he still charged me for that job! He also left a mess behind! I will not hire him again"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Most spray paints are oil-based, meaning you will need a solvent to dissolve them, like paint thinner, lacquer thinner, or acetone. While solvents can be useful in removing paint, they are also very flammable and require the use of a respirator. Beyond that, these products may smear paint and cannot be used on all surfaces.

Some homeowners have luck using pressure washers, but this only works for old or weaker concrete sealants and with very powerful pressure washers. You’ll get better results by pressure washing water-based sealants. However, it’s worth trying on any sealant if you’re hoping for the least toxic, least expensive, and most DIY-friendly option. To try this method, rent or buy the most powerful pressure washer you can find and take several passes at the concrete, completely pressure washing the entire area. You may need to repeat the process multiple times to see results.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn’t the way the paint looks or performs—it’s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out—like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.
