I provided quality work. From carpentry to plumbing/electrical. I grew up on a dairy farm and had to learn it all!

"Sam was very friendly and went right to work. He also didn’t mind my dogs."

"He sprayed a brown inferior product on my lovely gray aged cedar shingled roof ruining the entire look of my gray cedar paneled home. His men walked on my roof breaking aged shingles though had promised would not do so. Brought commercial lift for man to use on 1 story house which cost way more than necessary and dug up driveway and grass. Lied about product and application and when called on it during application by homeowner ignored and continued with HIS way with disasterous results to homeowner's home. Unreliable and argumentative and looking for cheapest way to do job not homeowner's wishes. Don't ever use him as painter."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

You can paint directly on laminate surfaces. However, the preparation steps generally determine how long the paint will last and the finish quality. Laminate has a very slick surface that discourages things like grease, oil, dirt, and other substances from sticking to it. While that's great for staying clean, the slick surface also makes it difficult for paint to stick without at least some prep work.

The color of your paint shouldn’t make it harder to apply, but it can be harder to cover in one coat, depending on the surface. Using a good quality primer that’s tinted gray will help make applying your black paint easier. Even with a primer, you will likely have to use two coats to get a perfect, solid black finish.

Most spray paint is fully dry after 24 hours, but knowing when the spray paint is dry depends on the type of dry paint criteria. Surface dry is a surface that’s dry enough for you to apply another coat of paint. Touch dryness is a little dryer than surface dryness and will feel dry if you gently touch it, but it’s really wet underneath the initial touch. Hard dry feels fully dry but can dent or smudge upon extra pressure. Thoroughly dry paint is completely dry. 

You should always use a primer before painting over wallpaper to help the paint adhere correctly and get a good finish. Not all wallpaper can be painted over, so do a test patch in an inconspicuous area before painting an entire wall. If the primer and paint don’t adhere, you’ll need to remove the wallpaper, prime the wall, and then paint.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
