Q: Can you German smear over painted brick?

• <div><p>A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance&mdash;so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if I used exterior paint inside?

• <div><p>The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn&rsquo;t the way the paint looks or performs&mdash;it&rsquo;s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out&mdash;like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.</p></div>

Q: Are there any completely natural ways to remove concrete sealant?

• <div><p>Some homeowners have luck using pressure washers, but this only works for old or weaker concrete sealants and with very powerful pressure washers. You&rsquo;ll get better results by pressure washing water-based sealants. However, it&rsquo;s worth trying on any sealant if you&rsquo;re hoping for the least toxic, least expensive, and most DIY-friendly option. To try this method, rent or buy the most powerful pressure washer you can find and take several passes at the concrete, completely pressure washing the entire area. You may need to repeat the process multiple times to see results.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over cracked paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over cracked paint, but only if you properly sand down the damaged areas. Once the surface is as smooth as you can get it, clean the walls and let them dry before applying a new coat of paint. Painting over cracked paint without sanding or cleaning beforehand will not cover up the cracks and may even make them look worse. </p></div>

Q: Can I sand paint off a wall?

• <div><p>You can sand paint off a wall. However, it's difficult and time-consuming. Depending on why you wish to remove the paint, there are simpler ways to achieve similar results. Scraping off any loose paint and applying a skim coat is the most common way to hide a damaged wall or paint job. </p></div>

Tomas did a great job excavating footing and pouring a slab for a detached garage. He also built a retaining wall around the perimeter as this is recessed into a sloped lot. I’m very pleased with the work.

They removed my nasty popcorn ceiling and painted my living room. But they used flat paint instead of semigloss and with small children flat is a very bad idea. My fault for not catching it, but still. There are still spots on the ceiling that, when the light is right, you can see uneven...

Sandy said that he had painted kitchen cabinets before, well the paint turned out bumpy from the roller because they were not sanded in between coats of paint.

Customers say: True professional

"Top Gun Painting really saved my project. In less than a week, my home went from one of the most stressful aspects of my life and badly in need of a paint job to show-room ready-to-sell. Mr. Williamson gave me a call quickly and met with me the same day. I was hoping to have my stairwell painted and the common areas redone, and instead my whole home (ceilings, trim, kitchen cabinets, and even the stair rail!) were all completed in 2 days. I would hire Top Gun Painting for any project and trust their work and integrity. I am truly grateful for all of their hard work!"

"Steve Overgard and his team replaced non functioning over sized windows in the house I bought that was partially renovated. These were 9x5 three panel picture windows over looking the water. The team measured, ordered custom windows, and installed them perfectly. They matched the paint color for the wide sill and frame. They completed all the finishing without any blue tags needed. I will use them again."
