"If you want the BEST painter & the MOST UPFRONT, HONEST & RESPONSIVE individual in the area, Jon & his team are it!! When my family relocated back to Lynchburg, our realtor, Kensie Johnson, referred us to Jon @ Straight Line. Jon was EXTREMELY responsive & he didn't leave us hanging like some contractors did. Jon was easy to work with & his workmanship was FANTASTIC. Our first project together was when he painted the interior of the home. Needless to say, it was wonderful. Then we had him put in 2 exterior wooden railings. We then had Jon build a custom built in toy box/storage chest in our sunroom. Today, he just finished painting the exterior of the home. If you're tired of the unreliable, unresponsive & apathetic contractors around us, call Jon. If you want a good & reliable guy, Jon is the man."

"Daniel from Roberts Restorations & Handyman Services did an outstanding job cleaning my gutters and taking down a huge tree in my yard. I was impressed by his professionalism and efficiency. Not only did he clear out the clogged gutters, but he also ensured the downspouts were flowing perfectly. The tree removal was a massive task, but Daniel handled it with precision and safety, leaving my yard cleaner than before. I highly recommend him for any handyman or landscaping needs?you won?t find a harder worker or better service! - Bryan"

"Angie's List turned up Robin's Cleaning Service as a possible contractor for carpet cleaning. We went with her since she's independent and relatively local (Gretna). She came today, worked hard for over two hours to clean our Master BR and closet, lower staircase and roughly 1/4 of the lower living area, and did a lovely, attentive and thorough job for $225. Very pleasant--does carpets and other cleaning, painting, landscaping, mowing and pressure washing between morning and evening school bus driving for Gretna public schools (all three levels). Just a really sweet lady whom we enjoyed getting to know. If you have odd jobs, give her a chance. Robin Hall, 434-728-0529, is highly recommended!

"Mark was a very efficient worker and assembled the 8 items in record time. I noticed a scratch on the table after he left. He didn’t mention it to me. I don’t know if it came from the manufacturer or not. The scratch is light but you can definitely feel it. Overall I was pleased with his work and would hire him again."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

Sandblasting is a common method for removing paint. It works great if the underlying material is tough. This is because you can then use more abrasive sandblast materials, making the paint removal process much faster and less expensive. If you plan on removing many layers of paint on smooth surfaces, you’ll need to be more careful about which materials you choose to use to sandblast.

Sanding paint that contains lead is never safe, and sanding modern paints can still be hazardous. However, you can protect yourself by wearing a high-quality respirator during the process or by using a wet-sanding technique. You can wet the wall and then sand or use a wet sanding tool to achieve this.

With patience, you can often save a dried paintbrush. Soak the bristles overnight and clean the brush as you would any other time. You'll likely have to repeat the cleaning steps, including soaking, more than once.

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.
