Where Can I Find Specialist Kitchen Cupboard Door Painters?

Filed under: Art — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 12:37 pm

I have a solid oak kitchen that i would like to be painted cream as it would be cheaper than replacing a very solid but dated kitchen.
I do not want to attempt this myself as i want a good quality hard-wearing finish.
Do you know of any companies that will take my cupboard doors away,paint them, either by hand or by spraying them and bring them back?
I have scoured the internet with no luck so far.
I live in the Birmingham area in the UK.

How To Get My Foot In The Door For A Dev Job?

Filed under: Web Development — Tags: , — admin @ 12:47 am

I am a self-taught programmer, been coding for about a decade, but have never really made it more than a hobby. I consider myself very proficient with coding itself, but have no professional experience and no CS degree, so I’m unable to get my foot in the door.
What are some tips for finding a part-time (preferably web development) job? Should I take some months off working on my portfolio (what I’m doing now), working a “regular” job till then, or are there better ways?
What do employers look for when hiring a web developer (python, PHP, ruby, etc)?

How Do You Go About Hiring A House Painter? Do You Pay Attention To The Fliers That May Be On Your Door? ?

Filed under: Art — Tags: , , , , , , , , — admin @ 12:37 am

~~Sure flyers can offer great discounts. Here is my best advice for hiring a contractor. Make sure they are licensed and bonded. Get at least 3 bids. Ask what they do (scraping, filling, priming, etc.). Know what grade of paint they use. How long the job will take, their warranty, and how long they have been in business. Ask for reference phone numbers for previous customers so you check with them, on their satisfaction. You can then logically decide who would do the best job. We ended up going with a slightly higher bid because I could verify his quality of work. We had an excellent job done for a very fair price. ~~

What Would A Painter Charge To Paint A Door Over That I Tried To Paint Myself?

Filed under: Art — Tags: , , , , , , , , — admin @ 12:45 pm

I had a new fiberglass door installed yesterday and thought I could paint the door myself since I have done it before. However I really did a very poor job of painting and would now like to find someone that would redo my door and make it look good. What would a painter charge for something like this and what all would he have to do now since its already painted?

How Should I Go About Choosing A Painter To Paint My Fiberglass Door And Trim?

Filed under: Art — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 1:08 pm

I had an entry door installed and tried painting it myself and really messed it up in places. This door is a fiberglass door and I really want it to look nice so I am going to hire a painter. One of the painters said instead of sanding the door he would use a chemical that would take the paint off and then he would prime the door for painting before painting it again. Another painter said he would sand the door as much as possible and if I wanted him to, he would take the door off the hinges and spray paint it. Which would be the best way to go?? I have already gotten two estimates and both have been in the same ball park so I am just curious as to what this chemical is versus sanding it. And will the door look better painted the usual way or have it taken off the hinges and spray paint it?? Oh yeah one more thing, these doors were supposed to be already primed but the acrylic latex that I used can be peeled off in places so I am wondering if it was really primed at all.
