The 2 workers were energetic, efficient, detail oriented and got everything done by the end of the day. They cleaned up meticulously and were pleasant and cheerful throughout the day. I could not recommend this company more highly and am already planning to use them again for some other rooms in the house.

He never bothered to call to tell us and explain why he wasn't going to come to work on our porch, he didn't show up. After the accident, during the hearing process he went to Florida and it was six weeks before he ever came back and when he came back he didn't work. It really took a long, long time and the workmanship was really, really bad because he couldn't be here because he was recovering from the accident. We still have problems, our ceiling in the porch is falling down, and he just did a very poor job. It wasn't totally his fault because of the accident but he could have told us that he's not able to do that, and what happened too was that he started work in the fall and he wasn't finished until spring. The porch is not falling down, it's not in that bad shape but I just want to put down a real new porch, it had a wood decking on it, it had rails that needed painting because it had to be painted from time to time. If he just said in the fall that he had an accident, he hasn't started it and had he not taken my money, I will use him but I will use him later. He's very hard to get a hold of."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/cortland/seven-valley-home-improvement-reviews-459066.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Stuart Contracting LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"PA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Brian B."},"reviewBody":"Stuart Cobb has been a contractor serving my historic neighborhood for a number of years.

Painting questions, answered by experts
Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.
In many cases, you can sleep in a room painted with low-VOC paint on the same day you painted it. You’ll want to give it at least 10 hours to allow any lingering chemicals to dissipate. However, it can still have an odor for about a day after painting, so you may want to add extra ventilation or adjust your sleeping arrangements if you’re particularly sensitive.
No-VOC paint is generally odorless and won’t emit toxic chemicals, so it’s even safer and more comfortable to sleep near after a fresh paint job.
Yes. A gallon of paint covers around 400 square feet, so two gallons will be enough for one coat in a 400-square-foot room or two coats in an 800-square-foot room. However, if you have a very large room or you’re painting an open space or an entire floor of your home, you may need more than two gallons.
A roller makes an excellent paint tool for brick. Using a roller can ensure the entire surface area gets painted evenly. If you choose a roller for painting brick, go for a thicker option, at least a half-inch. The key to using a roller while painting brick is making sure paint gets into the various crevices for even coverage.
While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
