Hi there, I’m looking for someone to paint a wooden dresser in my apartment. It’s a medium-sized piece with a couple of light scratches, and I’d like a smooth, durable finish in a single neutral color. I have the paint and primer ready, but I’m open to advice on whether to sand first or apply a stain-blocking primer. I’d prefer a clean, dust-free approach and someone who can protect the surrounding area to avoid any spills. Please include a brief estimate of the time required and any prep work you recommend.
