Q: What factors affect painting costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on roof condition, paint quality, labor, and whether additional repairs or coatings are required.</p></div>

Q: Is there a difference between ceiling paint and wall paint?

• <div><p>While you can use wall paint on the ceiling, there are some differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ceiling-vs-wall-paint.htm">ceiling and wall paint</a>. Ceiling paint tends to be thicker, cover discoloration better, and comes in a more limited color selection. Wall paint is thinner, holds up to regular cleaning better, and is available in an almost endless variety of colors. </p></div>

Q: What’s the best temperature to paint a pool deck?

• <div><p>The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.</p></div>

Q: Do you use a roller or brush to paint textured walls?

• <div><p>Use a roller with a high nap to paint into the textured dips and cover the raised sections of your walls without leaving any sections uncovered. After applying paint using the high-nap roller, you use a paintbrush to cover any missed spots. Applying two or three coats of paint using this method should provide plenty of coverage.</p></div>

Q: Is primer necessary before painting?

• <div><p>In most cases, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> is necessary before painting over wood paneling. A hardy primer formula covers up stains and leaves a grippy surface for the new paint to hold onto. If you don&rsquo;t use a primer first, you risk poor adhesion, visible blemishes, and a paint top coat that could flake away later. </p><p>There are two primer choices: oil-based or latex-based. Choose an oil-based primer for durability and adhesion, but prepare for extra dry time and more VOC (volatile organic compounds) fumes. Or, pick a stain-blocking latex primer. They&rsquo;re easy to apply, clean up, and affordable.</p></div>

He was hired to remove the paper and leave the wall ready for me to paint. I was not at the home when he worked, but he told me he was there for five hours. It was a bathroom with only 1 8x8 full wall and 1/2 wall @ 4x8. I don't know what he did for that 5 hours, but didn't remove all the...
