Q: What type of finish should I use?

• <div><p>A finishing layer is an important step in the staining process. A top coat helps make a stain last longer by protecting it from spills, scratches, and natural weathering.</p><p>A lacquer finish is thin, fast-drying, and best used for cabinets, molding, and trim. It&rsquo;s not recommended for outdoor furniture. Another option is varnish, which has a glossy finish with a protective film and is often used on outdoor wood objects. Polyurethane, known as &ldquo;liquid plastic,&rdquo; dries quickly but doesn&rsquo;t hold up well in the heat. Lastly, a shellac finish adds a warm tint to wood but is affected by heat.</p></div>

Q: How long does painting take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-3 days per room, depending on the size and preparation required.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint vinyl baseboards?

• <div><p>You can certainly paint vinyl baseboards, but you may want to consider why you would. Vinyl baseboards are not very expensive, and if you&rsquo;re considering painting baseboards over 5 years old, you may want to consider simply replacing them with a color you like&mdash;there is an enormous range of color options for this material, and replacement won&rsquo;t cost too much more than painting them. </p></div>

Q: What is the benefit of hiring a professional painter?

• <div><p>One of the most significant benefits of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-things-consider-when-hiring-interior-painter.htm">hiring a professional painter</a> is that they complete the task faster and better. Generally, it takes about a day to paint a room, depending on dry time. If you're painting your entire house or the exterior of your home, that's a lot of time spent with a paintbrush in hand. Outsourcing this project to a painting pro will save you countless hours.</p><p>Other benefits of hiring a professional painter include:</p><ul><li><p>Quality experience with painting </p></li><li><p>Assistance with choosing colors</p></li><li><p>Using the right tools for the job</p></li><li><p>Extensive product knowledge</p></li></ul><p></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...
