Painting

What exterior painting needs that interior work does not: surface prep, weather windows, the right primer for wood, metal and masonry, and when brick should not be painted.

Painting offices, retail, restaurants and clinics: scrubbable commercial paint, after-hours scheduling, protection for occupied spaces and the touch-up plan that keeps a business looking sharp.

Stain or paint on wood? How semi-transparent and solid stains differ from paint, the prep that decides the result, and how to choose for decks, stairs and doors.
