Q: Can you wait too long between coats of paint?

• <div><p>No&mdash;if you complete a full coat of paint, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-painting-techniques-make-walls-stand-out.htm">painting techniques</a> like cutting in and rolling, you could wait weeks or months between coats if you wanted. For best results, sand the first coat and clean the wall before applying the second.</p></div>

Q: Where and how should I store paint rollers?

• <div><p>Store paint rollers in their original cover or a homemade one to prevent dust from getting caught in their fibers. Try wrapping them in aluminum foil, duct tape, or plastic wrap, then take it a step further and store them in a closed container to ensure they&rsquo;re always ready to go.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Can you paint drop ceiling tiles?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to paint certain drop ceiling tiles, including those made of plastic, metal, and wood. Painting fiberboard ceiling tiles is technically possible, but the results rarely look appealing, so it&rsquo;s best to replace them with new tiles, especially given how affordable they are. If you do paint your drop ceiling tiles, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use a paint sprayer and a rapidly-drying paint to avoid drips. Latex paint is often a good choice, especially if you thin it and apply it using a sprayer.</p></div>

Great job! It was a pleasure working with Earl, Francisco, and Marco. They’re obviously experts, came in early and worked late for 15 straight days. Francisco and Marco began by painting the stained wood kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are now perfect. The paint looks almost baked onto the wood....

Wonderful, great communication, on time, very clean and dependable. I have never had a home painted that I am more pleased with than Joe and his crew. I highly recommend him for any of your painting needs. They even installed a medallion on one of my ceilings and it looks wonderful.

They do exterior painting also, but they did not do it for me. My overall experience with them was excellent. I needed them in 2 days, and they came immediately. He was punctual and turned up 30 minutes early. I would use them again in the future.
