I am looking for an estimate for painting my ceiling in a downtown loft environment. The surface is exposed cement, and there are a number of pipes present as well (copper, PVC, black painted piping, HVAC tubing, etc.) I also want to bring the black paint down the top 20" or so of the walls. The space is around 1100 square feet, and the ceilings are just under 13 feet high.

1.30Best interior painting conditions?
Q.Is it true that there are better weather conditions for interior house painting? I'm just trying to do a 11x12 room.
A.Slow drying if the humidity is high or raining outside......but will eventually dry nonetheless. For exterior paint, temp has to be 55 degrees or above.
Happy Painting

1.20What painting options do I have when painting a wall that is not smooth?
Q.My bathroom wall is not smooth at all, unlike the rest of the walls in my house. I am not sure why but I do not want to have to sand it all down. Is there a specific painting technique that I can use that will kind of hide the imperfections in the wall? I wallpapered it previously and don't want to do that again.
A.Ok, you can do alot to help this bathroom out. Try spongeing it with two different but similair colors, or you can also sponge it and then glaze it over with a tinted glaze. either way would probably improvve it. god luck,

1.00What flooring and trim goes nice with white walls?
Q.Im remodeling my apartment and my roommate chose white to paint the walls in our entry way and living room? i get to choose the carpet or flooring (hardwood, etc) and color of the trim, does anyone know what color of trim, and what type of floor would go nicely with the white walls?
A.Lucky you! I'd rather be allowed to choose flooring and trim any day! That's a keeper whereas paint can be changed.
As for what matched white walls, basically everything! White is not a color in decorating, but the absense of all color and that is why you can match it with anything.
So, you can buy whatever pleases you! Do keep in mind that the lighter the floor color, the larger the room will appear and the darker the floor color, the smaller the room will appear. Also, lint, dust, etc., shows up more on dark floors.
What you choose to use as material for the floor really depends on your budget. Hardwood floors are definitely the best for getting a return on your money. If you can't afford that, then consider these types of flooring:
- laminate wood floor
- vinyl soft floor covering
- bamboo flooring (my favorite, by the way!)
- ceramic tile (did you know that you can get ceramic tile that looks soooo much lilke wood, you have to touch it to know the difference? It's better than hardwood since it doesn't scratch and is very resistant!)
Will you be painting the trim or using natural wood? If using natural wood, it is advisable to match the floor.
Enjoy!

1.00Which requires a professional: house painting or laminate floor installation?
Q.Our new house desperately needs new floor and new paint. My husband and I can't take enough days off from work so we decided to hire a professional to do one of these jobs (we'll do the other one ourselves). He thinks we should hire a professional to get the paint job done (we have a two-story house with 4 br and 3 bath). I'd rather hire someone to install the laminate flooring and tiles. Which one of these two projects do you think should be done by a professional?
A.Do the laminate and tiling yourselves. Laminate you can stop and start at your own pace w/o worry of a big clean up and it won t matter where you leave off. Tile projects on average can be done in a weekend with proper planning or even a weekend and grout at nite or the next weekend. Painting a 2 story is slow and can be dangerous. Its hard on the legs being on a ladder and you just shouldn t stop any place. And the clean up to maintain brushes and stuff.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

1.00How to put laminate flooring on stairways?
Q.We have laminate flooring through out our house except on the stairway, upstairs hall and the bedroom. My wife would now like it on the stairway and upstairs hall. I installed the flooring through out the house, but I am not sure how to install it on the stairway. Am I better off leaving it to a professional?
A.I would be concerned that it would cause a slip hazard. Maybe check into painting it a similar color and adding anti-slip sand. I would think this would be easier to DIY also. Good luck...

1.00What's the best order of renovating: floors, walls, painting?
Q.I bought an apt, that needs renovating.
instead of having 1 contractor do everything, i'm hopefully going to find an expert flooring company and a seperate contractor for walls, painting and electric etc.
what is the best order to do this?
A.Start at the top and work your way down. Everything that you do on the upper portions of your apartment will end up on the floor so you start from the top and work your way down.

1.00Drywall repair - condo association vs. homeowners insurance?
Q.Last week my washer malfunctioned and flooded my condominium floor. The floor, trim, and painting will be covered by my homeowners insurance company. However, an 18" tall portion of drywall was removed all along the perimeter of the damaged area by the floor restoration services company (cleanup/drying was requested and paid for by my insurance company). New drywall installation isn't covered by my homeowners policy, because coverage starts at the finish layer (paint in this case). My condominium association manager said that since the damage was caused by my washer and not a broken pipe, it is my responsibility to repair and the condo assoc. insurance will not cover it.
Is it really my personal responsibility in this case? What is your opinion on this situation?
A.
