"Shelton Painting, Inc. subcontracted our exterior house painting job to Alexis Painting, LLC. Items of note for Shelton/Alexis: - Alexis Painting parked in our driveway, blocking us from getting into our garage, and did not move when we came home. - Alexis asked once for water, which we were happy to provide. A few hours later they knocked on our door and asked for more water when two other painters showed up. - Even though the Shelton Painting quote stated, “no exterior painting should be done immediately after a rain, during foggy weather, or when rain is predicted” Alexis painted our house up to the point it started to rain (rain was in the forecast for the whole day). The paint was not dry when the rain started. - The masking Alexis used at the base of our house blew up during the rain shower and stuck to the wet paint (there was nothing weighing down the plastic masking). We, as homeowners, had to go out and peel the masking off of the house and weigh it down. The masking left a texture in the paint. Some paint was also stuck to the masking. When Shelton was called about this issue, Todd was angry/defensive and stated “it all can be fixed.” They did “fix” it, but there is still a slight texture in the paint. - The painters left empty pop cans, bottle caps, and we found a razor knife blade in the lawn when they left for the day. Our child could easily have run though the grass and gotten cut. - Came home one day (after work) to find two painters sleeping under our tree. When we woke them up and asked what was happening they stated they were waiting on material. As they did not seem to have a vehicle at our home, I assume they were dropped off and left to work. I don’t want to think about where they went to the bathroom during the day. They lied back down after talking to us and appeared to go back to sleep. - Alexis painted our front door shut (to the weather stripping). The painters had to use a razor knife to separate the door from the weather stripping. A paint ridge was left on the door where the weatherstripping meets the door. Our overall impression is Shelton Painting does not manage their subcontractors. Shelton’s subcontractor (Alexis Painting) lacks professionalism. However, the overall painting Alexis performed seemed fine. Shelton Painting does not seem to know what is going on with their subs, and at least in our case, they were more about telling you why you are wrong then trying to make it right. For us, there was too much drama in working with Shelton Painting and their sub, Alexis Painting."

"Have used AA Painting in the past and was pleased. This past summer I had my ceiling sprayed and was happy with the how it looked immediately. 6 months later I began to see some cracking in the paint, but was not completely concerned. A couple weeks later it began to start peeling off like a river birch. At this time I called and left Don a voicemail, and sent an email. Waited a week to follow up again, still nothing. After multiple emails and voicemails with photos of the issues, I have not received a response. I was not even that mad as things happen, but to disappear when your work is being questioned has me really disappointed. When speaking with other painters they have told me this issue was due to too much paint too fast (coats not completely curing)."

Refinishing, reglazing, and resurfacing a bathtub all refer to the same process of restoring your tub's surface to improve its appearance and extend its lifespan. However, reglazing refers to the final step of applying new coating, and resurfacing is the repair and new surface application. Installing a liner, however, is a separate process that involves fitting a custom-made shell over your existing tub.
Refinishing a bathtub is worth it if your current tub is structurally sound but has surface imperfections. Refinishing can remove scratches, stains, and fill in small cracks, giving your tub a fresh look at a fraction of the cost of replacement. It can save you around $3,000 compared to installing a new bathtub. However, if your tub has severe damage, large cracks, or leaks, replacing it may be the better option.
With proper care and maintenance, a bathtub reglazing can last up to 15 years. To preserve the new finish, regularly clean the tub with non-abrasive cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals. The longevity also depends on the quality of the workmanship and materials used during the refinishing process. By following these tips, you can enjoy your refreshed bathtub for many years.
Professionals take about two to four hours to refinish a bathtub. Afterward, the new surface needs 24 to 48 hours to cure before you can use the tub. Proper ventilation during this time is crucial to ensure the finish sets correctly. In total, you should plan for the process to take up to three days.
Wait between 48 and 72 hours before using a refinished bathtub to allow the new surface to cure fully. Some modern curing processes can reduce this time to as little as 24 hours. High humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying time, so maintaining a stable environment is important. Using the tub too soon may damage the finish, so patience ensures a long-lasting result.
You should consider refinishing your bathtub if you notice rust stains, chips, cracks, or persistent discoloration that regular cleaning can't remove. If the surface is worn or feels rough, or there are small imperfections affecting its appearance, refinishing can restore its original beauty. Refinishing is ideal when the tub is structurally sound but needs cosmetic improvements.
