Q: How should I choose a paint contactor?
A: Because your home is valuable, you need to make sure your
painting is done right. That’s why you should talk to your friends
and family and see if they recommend anyone. Only speak with
painters such as T.C.I. Painting who are Licensed, Insured and
Bonded, to protect you and your home.

Q: How long does it take for the paint to dry?
A: Depending on the kind of paint we use, and the place we use it, it should take about 6 hours. Latex paint generally takes less time to dry, while oil-based paints take longer. Gloss paints take a little longer than flat colors.

Q: How do I wash my new painted walls?
A: Cleaning your newly painted walls is a good way to keep them in good health. It’s important to remember to stay away from any harsh chemical or abrasive cleansers. Generally, soapy water and a sponge is the best way to keep your walls looking good. Remember to read all labels on any cleansers. It’s also important to wait at least 2 weeks before you wash the new paint, so it can cure.

Q: I think we have a mildew problem. Can you paint over it? 
A: Mildew is easily taken care of, but should not be painted over without cleaning and removing it. We use a mixture of bleach and water to remove the mildew, and may scrub the walls if necessary. We allow that to dry at least 24 hours before we begin the painting process with a coat of primer. It may even be necessary to protect your home from future mildew attacks with a mildewcide additive to the paint.
