How do you open a plastic-sealed paint can?

• <div><p>Although plastic-sealed paint cans can look tricky, you can open them with adjustable pliers in no time. Grip the plastic seal with the pliers and pull the seal up, moving around the seal until you’ve pried the plastic up in enough spots. Then, you can grab the seal and pop it off the top of the paint can. Depending on the strength of the seal, you may even be able to remove the seal with just your hands by pulling upwards.</p></div>

How much should I charge for labor to paint?

• <div><p>The average labor cost for painting in the U.S. is $2 to $6 per square foot. Research what similar pros in your area charge to get a good idea of the normal labor costs for your region. Don’t forget to add charges for materials, complicated work, and project minimums to cover your overhead, if you’re doing a smaller project. </p></div>

Q: How do you calculate a painting charge?

• <div><p>You can calculate a painting charge by starting with the square footage of the area you painted. If you painted one room that&rsquo;s 11x32 feet (132 square feet), charging $5 per square foot would get you $660 in labor costs (132x5). You may also choose to charge extra for intricate work (such as baseboards or crown molding) or painting jobs done in complex locations. Then, you&rsquo;ll need to charge for the materials used, including primer and paint, and tools like brushes, drop cloths, and ladders. </p></div>

Q: What paint will stick to plastic?

• <div><p>Most high-gloss paint will stick to plastic. However, it&rsquo;s important to prepare your plastic surface to have the best success with painting it. Even the most plastic-adhering paint can struggle to fully adhere to a surface that no one has properly prepared. Ensure that the surface is clean and free of grease or dirt. If your plastic is very slick, you may also want to lightly sand it to increase the chances of complete adhesion.</p></div>

Q: Do specific finishes work better with certain types of colors?

• <div><p>Depending on your lighting and design style, some finishes will enhance certain colors to your liking more than others. For example, high-gloss finishes can intensify deeper shades such as navy blue and emerald green, making them feel luxurious and bold. On the other hand, you may appreciate how soft pastels and neutrals have a more calming, smooth feel in matte or eggshell finishes. </p></div>

They did a good job. They were very accommodating to our needs, since they were painting the whole interior of our house while we were still staying there. They offered ideas when I needed them. They were very polite and professional.

Wade painted the exterior of our 115 year old farm house that had not been painted since the mid 1970's. It completely transformed our property and the experience and price were both the best I have had with a contractor. The wood on the exterior did not cover as expected and Wade went above...
