Q: What’s the difference between latex and oil-based paint?

• <div><p>The two most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">common paint types</a> are latex-based paint and oil-based paint. Here are some of the most significant differences between the two:</p><p>Latex-based paint:</p><ul><li><p>$15&ndash;$60 per gallon on average</p></li><li><p>Best for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways</p></li><li><p>Dries more quickly than oil-based paints</p></li><li><p>More difficult to clean compared to oil-based paint</p></li></ul><p>Oil-based paint</p><ul><li><p>$20&ndash;$70 per gallon on average</p></li><li><p>Good for bathrooms, kitchens, doors, and trim</p></li><li><p>Easy to clean and holds up well against moisture</p></li><li><p>More likely to chip than latex-based paint</p></li><li><p>Requires good ventilation while drying</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does it take to prep and paint a room?

• <div><p>The time it takes to prep and paint a room depends wholly on the project's details. You can expect to spend at least two days on the job, including one for prepping and priming and one for applying two coats of paint. If the room is complex with many features to work around, expect to spend an additional day. </p></div>

Q: Is it easy to add an orange peel texture to a wall?

• <div><p>Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-do-orange-peel-texture.htm">how to apply an orange peel texture</a> is similar to adding a knockdown texture. You can use a spray gun or a roller to apply the drywall texture and then use various blending techniques to create the desired orange peel look. Adding this texture could be a DIY job, but it also can be extremely messy, so best to leave it to a professional.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand my porch before painting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it&rsquo;s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint. </p></div>

Q: Is waterproof paint effective?

• <div><p>Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn&rsquo;t eliminate the source of the water. If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-basement-waterproofing-contractor.htm">hire a basement waterproofing contractor</a>, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating. </p></div>
