If your home needs a paint job, and you just don’t have the time, a painting contractor can do the work quickly and professionally. You probably know the basics already: don’t paint on a marred or dirty surface. A good painting contractor however gets better results than most of us because they understand the importance of preparing the surface.
A qualified painter should invest more than half his time preparing the wall surface to be painted. He should wash, patch, scrape, sand, and caulk all surfaces before the first ounce of paint touches the wall. He should also use an undercoat or primer to seal the surface. Your painting contractor needs to be experienced and know exactly what type of paint is best for different projects. He should know the quality of different types of paint and know which will flake and blister, and which are completely scrubable — a big help if you have kids and pets.

A low country on the Gulf coastal plain and the Mississippi alluvial plain, Louisiana rises in uplands near Arkansas only to some 535 ft (163 m). The rainy coast country contains marshes and fertile delta lands; inland are rolling pine hills and prairies. The Mississippi dominates the many waterways, but there are other rivers (e.g., the Red River, the Ouachita, the Atchafalaya, and the Calcasieu) and the coast is threaded by many slow-moving bayous (e.g., the Teche, the Macon, and the Lafourche). There are lagoons such as Lake Ponchartrain, oxbow lakes made by Mississippi River cutoffs, and other lakes where the slow streams are clogged. A variety of recreational facilities makes the state an excellent vacationland; some of its lakes (e.g., Pontchartrain) have been highly developed as resort areas, and there is superb hunting and fishing throughout much of the region.
