When Should You Not Epoxy a Floor?
Epoxy can struggle with adhesion in certain conditions, especially in very cold temperatures or in high-moisture areas like basements and bathrooms. When the adhesion is weak, the epoxy coating can crack and peel. It’s important to think about where you’re applying the epoxy coating to ensure the best results.
What Must Be Done Before Applying Any Concrete Stain?
Before applying concrete stain, follow these essential steps:
- Strip away all previous sealers, paints, adhesives, and coatings.
- Clean the surface thoroughly.
- For acid-based stain, use a concrete etch and cleaner to prep the surface, and be sure to rinse it well. Avoid using muriatic acid, as it can damage the minerals that create the stain’s color.
- For water-based stain, clean the surface with dish soap and water. To remove oil spots, a degreaser and neutralizer diluted at a 4:1 ratio works best. Rinse the surface thoroughly when done.
- If your concrete is too smooth or dense to absorb water, you'll need to mechanically sand it to roughen the surface, allowing the stain to adhere properly.
What Types of Spray Texture Are There?
A spray texture application adds both visual and physical texture to your walls. There are three main types of spray textures:
- Popcorn – Also called acoustic or cottage cheese texture, popcorn has a bumpy, irregular look, resembling small popcorn kernels. It's commonly applied to ceilings to hide imperfections and help absorb sound, giving a rustic, textured finish.
- Orange Peel – This texture is subtle and dimpled, mimicking the surface of an orange peel. It creates a refined finish, offering a smooth yet textured look that hides small flaws while adding interest to walls and ceilings.
- Sand – Featuring a gritty, sandy appearance, this texture is made by mixing fine sand particles with paint. It offers a rougher, more pronounced finish, adding depth and dimension to surfaces while concealing imperfections.
How Do the Pros Paint Trim? Should Trim Be Sanded Before Repainting?
If your trim is new or already smooth, just lightly sand it with 120-grit sandpaper before you start painting. For trim that's rough or has pits, begin with coarser 80-grit sandpaper and then switch to the finer 120-grit to smooth it out. There's no need to completely remove the old paint before applying the new coat.
How Many Layers of Paint Do You Need for New Drywall?
Once the seams are taped and finished, we suggest applying two coats of high-quality paint to ensure a smooth, even finish.

What Kind of Paint Should Be Used on Metal Awnings?
For the best results, apply an oil-based paint over a premium primer. We recommend using two coats of paint, and be sure to let the first coat dry completely to the touch before applying the second coat.
What Is the Best Way to Waterproof Brick?
Start by thoroughly pressure washing the brick area you plan to seal and let it dry completely. Next, choose the type of sealant you want to use. There are three main types: paint, surface sealers, and penetrating sealers.
Paint is the most budget-friendly option, but it completely covers the brick and hides its natural look. It's also less durable than surface or penetrating sealers and will need more regular maintenance, just like any other exterior paint.
Surface sealers cost more than paint but have a clear finish, last longer, and require less upkeep. These don't soak into the brick, so they protect without changing its appearance.
Penetrating sealers are the priciest option, but they soak deep into the brick, providing long-lasting protection. They often dry clear, need less maintenance, and can last up to 30 years.
If you opt for a penetrating or surface sealant, make sure to pick one that lets the brick "breathe" to avoid trapping moisture, which could potentially damage your home.
What Kind of Roofs Can Be Coated?
Roof coating is a job best left to professionals. Four types of roofs can really benefit from a coating:
- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): This is the most commonly used roofing material on commercial buildings. A single-ply primer should be applied first before adding the coating.
- Modified Bitumen: Often found on commercial low-slope roofs, this asphalt-based rolled roofing material works really well with a coating.
- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): This synthetic rubber-based single-ply material is common in commercial buildings. EPDM roofs need to be primed before applying the coating.
- Metal roofs: Both commercial and residential metal roofs can be coated. Extra attention is needed at the seams, screws, and any penetrations to ensure moisture doesn't get trapped.
What Factors Affect the Estimate for Painting an Apartment?
When discussing your painting project with a contractor, there are several factors that can influence the estimate. Be sure to consider the following:
- Surfaces and finishes: Different surfaces may require different approaches or types of paint.
- Prep work, repairs, or patching: If the walls need extra preparation or fixing, this could add to the cost.
- Quality of the paint: Higher-quality paint typically costs more but can result in better durability and finish.
- Number of coats: More coats may be required depending on the surface and the color change.
- Specialty equipment or techniques: If your project needs specialized tools or methods, like spray painting or high ceilings, this can affect the cost.
- Timeline: The length of time it will take to complete the project can impact the price.
- Size of the project: Larger areas will naturally require more time and materials, affecting the estimate.
How Do You Restore a Badly Weathered Deck?
Refinishing an old, weathered deck can take some time, especially when you need to identify and replace any broken or rotting wood. After repairing the deck, give it a good power wash and let it dry thoroughly before moving on.
Next, focus on areas with peeling paint or finish. You don’t need to strip the entire deck unless you’re changing the color. Once you’ve stripped those areas, sand the deck until it feels smooth. Then, apply two coats of a high-quality stain or sealant. Make sure to let each coat dry completely before applying the next for the best results.
