Q: Is it OK to paint over old deck paint?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint over old deck paint, but only if it&rsquo;s in good condition and still adheres well to the deck. If the paint is flaking, cracking, or peeling, you need to sand it smooth before painting or your new paint will not adhere properly to the surface.</p></div>

Q: What paint lasts the longest on wood?

• <div><p>Acrylic paint is the best choice for painting wood if you want a finish that will last for years to come. To ensure a flawless and long-lasting finish, remember these <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-to-using-acrylic-paint-on-wood.htm">tips for using acrylic paint on wood</a>: Clean, sand, and prime before adding your color. Also, if you&rsquo;re using acrylics on outdoor furniture, be sure to choose paint that is specifically made for outdoor use.</p></div>

Q: Can you apply limewash with a roller?

• <div><p>No, you can't apply limewash with a roller and expect good results. Limewash is as much a technique as it is a type of paint, and a freehand application with a brush is part of that technique. Hand brushing a large area can be tiring, but limewash goes on easily and only requires thin coats to be effective. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint a whole wall using a brush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint an entire wall using just a brush. In fact, it may make the most sense on narrow walls where a roller would be impractical, but be prepared for it to take more time. We still recommend cutting in around corners and trim, then distributing paint around the rest of the wall as evenly and smoothly as possible.</p></div>

Q: What is the best paint to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>While you could conceivably select <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sheen-confusion-choosing-best-paint-finish.htm">any paint finish</a>, paintable wallpaper tends to look its best with a flat or eggshell finish. A higher gloss paint might make the texture pop more, but it can look a bit dated once the paint has dried. And don&rsquo;t worry about whether a water-based latex paint will loosen the wallpaper. Paintable wallpaper has a coating that prevents this from happening, so using latex paints without applying an oil-based primer to seal things first is fine.</p></div>

He did a really good job on painting my whole house. I felt he was a little cheap for the work he was doing and was expecting a horrible job due to the price. He out did himself with his work. He also was done a few days earlier than expected. I highly recommend him.

I interviewed three different painting companies and for some reason they just won me over and they weren't even the least expensive. They communicated daily about the progress and gave reminders that they would be arriving after 9:00 in the morning and I like that. The finished product was...

We did have to remove wall hangings and move as much "stuff" out of the way as possible before they came. They did move the big items for me. They did paint the kitchen and they moved the stove and painted the wall behind it and the refrigator. They cleaned up after and replaced the big...

Bob of Turnkey Construction gave me a separate estimate for the tile portion and the painting portion. Bob's estimate for the tile portion was a little less then the the other estimate that I got and the other guy would only do the tile and I would need to find someone else to do the painting....
