My kids were painting something in the basement and unfortunately made a huge mess.
Some of the paint is acrylic and some is from sherwin williams that we used in our house
Anyway to get this off? I tried acetone but it’s barely budging
The pic is just 2 spots but it’s literally everywhere
We are doing a bunch of work to the inside of our house. Some we are doing and others paying a professional. I thought about painting my kitchen cabinets myself, but after reading about what it takes to do it right, I am leaning towards hiring someone. What questions should I ask about their process or anything else to make sure I’m getting someone that is going to do it right? And I guess what answers am I looking for to make sure I’m not getting someone that will do just as good of a job that I could do myself.
I would love any advice. Having done research it seems that despite it being an old porch, given the weather conditions are best option is for semi translucent oil or hybrid based. We were considering the Benjamin Moore Wood Luxe, but it will rain all week and I’m just worried the wood will never be dry enough to use. I found the Olympic Maximum. Is that going to be the best to use or is there anything I’m missing? Any tips for painting in cool dry weather. I’m in KINGSTON Ontario and it looks like it’s going to get down to about 2° in the evenings by next week, but we’ll still have sunny warm days. It’s going to rain most of this week.
Thank you so much. My neighbour is on a pension and I’m laid off and we both have to sell our houses and we paid someone to paint their porch three years ago and she painted it when it was too damp, but it just started peeling immediately so we need to fix this up for sure and it’s feeling irrationally daunting
Do painters stand on counter tops to reach above the kitchen cabinets?
I have granite counters and I'm worried they will crack.
I've been painting for 30+ years, and one thing that always drove me nuts was finishing a full day on the tools and still having estimates waiting for me at home.
I'm curious how everyone handles it now.
Do you build the estimate while you're at the job, take notes and do it later, use an app/spreadsheet, voice notes, or something else?
And if you could eliminate one annoying part of quoting, what would it be?
Anyone have much experience with Ben Moore Element Guard? I’m considering it versus SuperPaint for about an 80-gallon exterior commercial job. My price is the similar for both. I’m very familiar with SuperPaint, but I’d like to build a relationship with my local Benjamin Moore dealer. Interested in coverage, application, or anything really that you think is useful.
