Which comes first...refinishing walls or painting?
Comments (5)You meant refinishing floors, not walls, right? Do the floors first, because of the dust. Later, stray drops of paint that fall outside the drop cloths should be easy to remove from the refinished floor. That's the way it worked on our floors, and I hope it proves true for you too....See MoreWhich comes first...refinishing FLOORS or painting?
Comments (1)That question can get you many different answers. I sand floors from time to time and it depends on how the floor is done. If you sand them yourself your probably going to make alot of dust, bump into the walls a time or two,and if you dont put a hole in the wall your doing good. If you hire a professional they might or might not have a vacuum system,if they do very little dust and no wall damage should be the result. Its always a good idea to clean your walls before you paint them. And I feel its not that difficult to cover the floor when your painting and being carefull not spill the paint. I hope this helps and goodluck with your project. P.S. make sure the shoe molding is removed prior to sanding if you paint first and your putting a stained shoe you have no problems,if there painted run a small bead of matching caulk to the gap at the base and you done....See Morewhich comes first? backsplash, or paint the cabinets?
Comments (4)It really does not matter since her paint won't stick to the splash, but easier...I'd say i woud be asier to paint without the splash so you don't have to tape off the bottom areas......See MoreWhich comes first: new counters or paint cabinets?
Comments (4)Thanks for all the replies! While the cabinets are currently the more visible and space-occupying part of what I want to change, I can see where doing the counters first makes a lot of sense. Not only will they be more of an investment, but they are not as changeable as the cabinets. I would think it easier to paint the cabs to go with the counter, than the other way around. Also replacing the counter would create more physical trauma than the paint....See Moreremodelfla
