Q: What is the difference between limewash and paint?

• <div><p>The main difference between limewash and paint is their chemical makeup and ingredients. Limewash is made from lime and water, which is more breathable than the ingredients in paint, which is made from a combination of plastic, acrylic, or latex. Because of these ingredients, limewash is more transparent than paint; it also only appears as white, while paint can be mixed into an endless number of different colors and shades.</p></div>

Q: How do you match new paint and faded paint?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-match-paint-after-patching-wall.htm">Matching new paint</a> with an old, faded color can be tricky. First, you&rsquo;ll need to determine whether the paint on your house is latex-based or oil-based. Lightly scrub an inconspicuous area of your home with rubbing alcohol&mdash;if the alcohol scrubs away the paint, it&rsquo;s latex-based. If not, the paint is oil-based. </p><p>Once you have that settled, bring a paint chip or photo of the color to a paint professional and have them mix you a matching paint in the same base (latex or oil). Then paint another inconspicuous part of your house to see if it&rsquo;s a match.</p></div>

Q: When should you remove painters tape after caulking?

• <div><p>If you are caulking, painter&rsquo;s tape should be removed before the caulk starts to set. It only takes 30 to 60 minutes for the caulk to dry, so this should be done fairly quickly.</p></div>

Q: Can a HOA make you paint your house?

• <div><p>Yes, your HOA can make you paint your house. Be sure to read through your community guidelines to understand the rules around paint&mdash;some communities only accept certain colors for exterior paint. Talk to your HOA before painting your home to share your plans and make sure they fit within the bylaws.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on stucco?

• <div><p>When choosing paint for stucco, it's recommended to use a high-quality exterior paint specifically formulated for masonry or stucco surfaces. Look for paints labeled as &quot;masonry paint,&quot; &quot;stucco paint,&quot; or &quot;concrete paint.&quot; These paints are designed to adhere well to stucco surfaces and provide durability and weather resistance. </p><p>Opt for paints with good breathability to allow moisture to escape and prevent potential issues with trapped moisture. You may also want to consider paints with UV resistance to protect the stucco from fading or discoloration due to sun exposure.</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...
