Painting questions, answered by experts

Black paint absorbs light, so using black paint will cause your room to look darker overall. In addition to reducing ambient light, black paint can make your space feel smaller because it hides depth and contours. The other major drawback is that black paint is harder to paint over with a lighter color. You’ll need to fully prime your wall with a good quality primer and use at least two coats of paint to get back to a lighter color after it’s been painted black.

Painting the exterior of your home is a moderate to advanced DIY project and requires certain tools, supplies, experience, and time. Due to the intricacies and time involved, exterior painting is usually best left to a pro, but can be tackled by an enthusiastic homeowner.

Yes, many services include painting or staining the trim. Confirm with your provider.

Tipping for exterior and interior painting is often roughly the same. In some cases, interior painters may be around the homeowner more and can get to know them a little better, which can sometimes result in better tips.

Costs vary widely based on complexity, piece value, and installation challenges, with typical rates from $50 to $500 for complex or large installations.
