How long does paint last?

• <div><p>Most exterior paints last between <b>five and 10</b> <b>years</b>. Your region’s climate and the quality of the primer and paint influence the total longevity. Additionally, the surface you paint over impacts your lifespan, as wood needs more frequent recoats than brick. </p><p>Most interior paint jobs can last anywhere between <b>three to 10 years</b>, depending on your lifestyle. If you have small children or pets that make the walls messy, you might need to repaint on the earlier side. However, if you have a quiet home, you can get several years out of your current paint job. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to use a special paint to paint over stained wood?

• <div><p>Since you&rsquo;ll be going back over an oil-based paint (stain or varnish), you need the proper material for good adhesion. Using an oil primer is critical to ensuring that the longevity of your work stands the test of time. You can apply any type of paint (oil or latex paint) on top of an oil primer after it has cured.</p></div>

Q: Can you add paint to a skip trowel wall texture?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely paint a wall that has skip trowel texture, but you need to make sure you have the right tools and use the appropriate strategies. First, make sure you buy a high-capacity roller with at least a &frac34;&rdquo; nap. This type of roller will hold enough paint to make application easy, and the thick nap is more likely to apply paint over the peaks and valleys. Additionally, you can&rsquo;t tape a textured wall, so paint any untextured walls or ceilings first, then tape the smooth surfaces and paint the skip trowel walls last.</p></div>

Q: Why is my paint patchy after multiple coats?

• <div><p>Patchy paint can be caused by not using enough paint on the roller, applying the paint thicker in some areas than others, or repeatedly rolling over the same spot before a previous layer has dried. To ensure an even finish, use enough paint on the roller for full coverage, apply paint evenly without overlapping, and let each coat dry before applying the next one.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to paint the exterior of a house?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost to paint the exterior of a house</a> ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about <b>$1.50 to $4 per square foot</b>, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.</p></div>
