She also made it known, “As landlord, I’m only obligated to provide paint, not a painter.”

The cats were taken to a new home, the painter put a primer on the floor and walls and the after new carpets and paint the smell was gone.

Our painter does a heck of a job painting cabinets white, and has saved several sets of cabinets I thought we would have to get rid of (you can see pictures on my site).

I would rather not have 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint to go over dark purple and greens, I had a painter mention there is a paint out that truly does cover in one coat with these dark colors.  

What are you going to do when your property manager, painter, landscaper, contractor, etc craps out on you far away versus in your town. 

- if you are painting & replacing doors and baseboard and everything is the same color - have everything on site so if the painter is using a sprayer - they paint the doors and everything at the same time.5.

One big tip I learned when I used to work as a professional painter is brush care.

I'm acting as GC, managing the major subs (roofer, plumber, sheetrocker, painter)Some of my observations that I didn't foresee in all my reading and research leading up to this:- Handymen NEVER call back. - Small jobs are more frustrating than the bigger jobs.  

Pet smell is the easiestto abate among others, most decent paint shop or real commercial painter will know what to do with it.
