How long does chalk paint last?

• <div><p>This largely depends on your environment and how well the paint was sealed. Properly sealed chalk paint furniture that isn’t regularly dinged by toys or steel boots can last 5 years or—often significantly—longer. However, if it isn’t sealed correctly or is subject to regular wear and tear, you can expect the coat to last 3 years or less. </p></div>

Q: Are enamel paints waterproof?

• <div><p>Enamel paints that are oil- or lacquer-based are waterproof, making them great for outdoor surfaces. But water-based enamel paints are not waterproof, so double-check the paint can before painting your patio furniture.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to paint over existing exterior paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over old exterior paint as long as you properly prepare the surface. You may need to sand your siding before painting over it, especially if you have wood siding. In some cases, if your siding is in good shape, a simple exterior primer is enough to prepare the surface for a new coat of paint. Touching up your home&rsquo;s exterior can not only increase your curb appeal; it can also help your home&rsquo;s siding be more durable and long-lasting.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over soot?

• <div><p>No, you cannot paint over soot. Soot is a type of contaminant and if not properly removed can cause further damage to your paint and walls. Adding paint directly over soot can result in your paint color changing in appearance and potentially peeling over time. </p></div>

Q: Should you paint an accent wall first or last?

• <div><p>Paint your accent wall last after painting the other walls in the room. This will prevent color bleed and splatter from the adjacent walls. Be sure to give your other walls plenty of time to fully dry and cure before painting your accent wall&mdash;you don&rsquo;t want the tape to pull off fresh paint when you remove it.</p></div>

I had to *ask* him to come back to clean the paint off of my hundred-year-old woodwork (because he failed to properly prep) and then he used a screwdriver (?!?!) to do so, which left gouging in the wood. It was not in pristine condition, but it did not have any chunks out of it until he got...
