"My wife and I have hired Showstopper Painting a total of four times. To say we are extremely satisfied feels like an understatement. We have a 40yr old Townhouse with aluminum siding. We selected a blue/gray exterior paint. Showstopper did a great job. We contracted them to paint the first floor and then the second floor. They painted everything ceilings, walls, baseboards, doors, door frames and window trim. They patched, puttied and sanded wall anchor holes, nail pops, drywall cracks and corner separations. The drywall repairs were flawless. The trim work (baseboards, window frames) cut in flawlessly. So, Why not do our deck. Our deck is somewhat complicated with built in seating. They taped it off with plastic. No Over spray and again flawless. Now, Show stopper does subcontract the work. Their Professional Supervisors were on site most of the day. If things were not done to their salinification, It was corrected, to the supervisors satisfaction and ours. This is not a 'two men & a brush' operation. During the four contracts they showed up early in the morning and were on site all day. Each of our 4 contracts took 2 days. Showstopper had a crew here, they worked all day and were on time. Karen from Showstopper was our contact. She had a great rapport with the subcontractors, oversaw their efforts and made corrections when necessary. All in all it was a great contractor experience having Showstopper Painting paint our home. We highly recommend Showstopper Painting and Karen to paint your home."

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.

"Over the past several years I have had multiple painting and drywall jobs done by Smooth Lines Painting Co. In every case, the work has been done quickly and with highly professional results. Just as importantly, the clean up was always complete and required no time or effort on my part. The company owner, Glen Wilson, has a broad knowledge of the best products and procedures to use in his business and he doesn't hesitate to make recommendations to ensure projects result in long-lasting great appearance of our property. Ensuring that our property is both well-protected from the elements and keeping it looking sharp are important to us all the time but will be particularly important if/when we decide to put our house on the market."

Painting questions, answered by experts

No. Lacquer cannot be used over oil-based paints, as it will not adhere properly to the paint. If you are using water-based paints, sometimes called latex paints, you can use lacquer over the paint. If you want to use lacquer on something covered in an oil-based paint, you must first strip the paint or prime the surface and paint over it with a latex-based paint.

In most cases, you have to sand crown molding before painting. This is due to the nature and design of molding. It’s not a flat wall, so uneven surfaces will be immediately noticeable once that paint dries. Sanding down the surface smooths everything out, leading to a satisfactory result. If the trim is already smooth, such as with new crown molding, you can give it a light sand with 120-grit sandpaper.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

You can sometimes add water to your spray gun, depending on the design of your sprayer and the type of paint, paint finish, or sealant. In many cases, mixing in around 10% percent of water to the paint makes for an easier application process and further evens out the mist. Read the instructions to make sure this is an appropriate step.

First and foremost, don’t skip the prep work. Even if you have the steady hands of a surgeon, mistakes happen, and they can potentially be catastrophic. Also, never underestimate how much paint you’ll need. Returning to the store is enough of a pain, let alone the streaks and uneven color you’ll get if a half-done wall dries before you can finish it.
