"I had repairs done on my two 17-foot ceilings that had tape creases and other damage, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The crew took their time, didn’t rush the job, and made sure every detail was done right. They fixed all the damaged areas we discussed, matched the paint perfectly, and the ceilings now look brand new. They were professional, on time, and kept the work area clean throughout the project. It took a couple of days, but their attention to detail really showed in the final result. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone needing ceiling or drywall repair done right the first time."

Over 20 years ago, Rob Hetrick, owner of HPI, began a small painting company to help support his growing family. He made sure he always took the time to recognize exactly what the client had in mind and to understand all their expectations. If there was something that a prospective customer wanted that he was unsure of, he went out and learned the process completely before committing to the job. After more than twenty years, Rob has gained a vast knowledge of the painting business and keeps himself updated regularly with the improvements in both methods and product in this ever-advancing industry. Rob keeps his crew learning, too, and also tries to educate potential clients with this information as it pertains to their individual job so that they, the customer, will have a fuller understanding of what he and his crew will be doing. Additional phone - (804) 745-3822, (804) 762-0468. Additional DBA - H P I. Additional email - [email protected]. Award winning.

"Of the 3 painters that were suggested, F&D was the only one that showed up and provided an estimate. Donnie showed up on time and provided a fair and reasonable estimate. We scheduled a date, Donnie bought the paint and we got the job done. Donnie and his son showed up on time and went right to work patching holes and trimming. I thought the job was going to take a day and a half but working as a team they were done in half a day. The rooms look great. I was so pleased that I’ve already booked him for another job."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

When you compare limewash versus paint, the drawbacks of limewash include its relatively limited durability compared to synthetic paints, often requiring reapplication in high-traffic areas or harsh weather conditions. Moreover, applying limewash requires skill and patience to avoid issues like streaks or uneven coverage. Limewash also comes with some color variety using natural pigments, but you have fewer options than if you go with paint.

Painting a wall involves multiple steps. First, clean and sand the wall to prepare the surface, then tape off any areas where you don't want paint to go. Next, shake or stir the paint in the can, then pour it into a tray. 

Dip a paintbrush into the paint can so that half of the bristles are coated. Use the brush to cut in or make a frame around the edges of the wall. Then, roll the paint roller in the tray, ensuring that it is evenly covered in paint. Roll the paint onto the wall in an "M" or "W" formation, making sure the paint is applied evenly.

You should let your initial paint job dry at least 12 hours before opening the door. Check your work after 12 hours have passed to confirm there are no uneven patches, or signs of the old paint showing though—if you see any, we recommend applying a second coat of paint and waiting an additional 12 hours for it to dry. 

Painting behind a toilet requires extra attention and care, as the area is often tight and uncomfortable to reach. First, you should use painter's tape to seal off any areas that you don’t want to get paint on, and use a drop cloth on the floor. Then, use a small roller brush or foam brush to apply the paint, making sure to spread it evenly around corners and tight areas. For the best results, allow the paint to dry in between coats. Finally, after you have finished painting and allowed your work to dry completely, remove the painter’s tape carefully.
