How do you prepare a wall for black paint?

• <div><p>First, make sure that you tape off all the areas that you don’t want to paint black. It’s harder to paint a light color over black than to touch up any lighter spots you missed. Once you’ve taped it off, make sure that the surface is clean and smooth, and then prime the wall with a tinted primer in gray. This step will help to transition from a lighter color to a darker one.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint roller gives the smoothest finish?

• <div><p>A foam roller or a roller with a very short nap will give you the smoothest finish, especially when working with glossy paints. Thicker rollers will leave a slight texture on the wall, and shiny paint will reflect light, highlighting the imperfections.</p></div>

Q: How long should pool deck paint last?

• <div><p>Depending on factors such as weather, use, substrate condition, and type of paint used, pool deck paint should last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Keeping the paint clean and resealing every year or two can help extend the life of the paint. Proper preparation before painting also plays a large role in how long the paint lasts on a pool deck. Paint will likely not last as long on a pool deck in poor condition before painting.</p></div>

Q: Is there a difference in tipping for exterior vs. interior painting?

• <div><p>Tipping for exterior and interior painting is often roughly the same. In some cases, interior painters may be around the homeowner more and can get to know them a little better, which can sometimes result in better tips.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to paint over old exterior paint?

• <div><p>Yes, but you&rsquo;ll need to make sure that the old exterior paint is in good condition. Before painting over the old paint, clean the surface thoroughly with a pressure washer. If you are opting to paint a lighter color over a darker one, you might need to apply a tinted primer so that the old paint color doesn&rsquo;t show through.</p></div>

The only negative reviews of this company seem to be those where services were not performed yet and the folks maybe got tired of waiting for Don to complete jobs already in the pipeline. We had to wait 6-8 weeks from the estimate to painting day but it was worth it. Don does an excellent job...
