Q: Do I need to use a special paint to paint over stained wood?

• <div><p>Since you&rsquo;ll be going back over an oil-based paint (stain or varnish), you need the proper material for good adhesion. Using an oil primer is critical to ensuring that the longevity of your work stands the test of time. You can apply any type of paint (oil or latex paint) on top of an oil primer after it has cured.</p></div>

Q: When should I use flat paint?

• <div><p>Use flat paint in the rooms that don&rsquo;t need a lot of cleaning. Flat paint works well in bedrooms, where there is low human traffic, and having the walls soak up light keeps the look and vibe calm. Flat paint also hides imperfections, so if you spot a crack, dent, or patch in your wall, choose flat paint over something shinier. </p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to paint a room?

• <div><p>Consider skipping the primer if possible; it's only necessary if you need to cover something up, such as a stain or a porous surface, or if you want to switch from a dark color to a light one. If you have a steady hand and are a precise painter, you may want to consider skipping the painter&rsquo;s tape. Instead, carry a damp rag with you as you paint to quickly wipe away any mistakes.</p></div>

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.
