Q: Is it bad to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can paint over wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it&rsquo;s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.</p></div>

Q: How do painters calculate cost?

• <div><p>Painters consider many factors when determining how much to charge for painting work. The job's square footage is the primary factor. However, when building your pricing estimate, they're also considering things like accessibility of the space, how much small-detail work is necessary, and the length of time the job will take.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over old stucco?

• <div><p>Stucco is an easy material to paint over, and a fresh coat of paint can give it a new life in a few simple steps. Just ensure the wall is in good condition, and clean the existing stucco before you get started&mdash;along with filling in any minor cracks or gaps. Well-maintained stucco should take in the new paint quite well.</p></div>

Q: What is the best paint to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>While you could conceivably select <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sheen-confusion-choosing-best-paint-finish.htm">any paint finish</a>, paintable wallpaper tends to look its best with a flat or eggshell finish. A higher gloss paint might make the texture pop more, but it can look a bit dated once the paint has dried. And don&rsquo;t worry about whether a water-based latex paint will loosen the wallpaper. Paintable wallpaper has a coating that prevents this from happening, so using latex paints without applying an oil-based primer to seal things first is fine.</p></div>

Q: How much do other painting supplies cost?

• <div><p>In addition to paint, you&rsquo;ll need some other supplies to paint a house yourself. These include: </p><ul><li><p>Brushes: <b>$3&ndash;$20 each</b></p></li><li><p>Tape: <b>$3&ndash;$10 per roll</b></p></li><li><p>Drop cloth: <b>$5&ndash;$30 each</b></p></li><li><p>Tray: <b>$2&ndash;$5 each</b></p></li><li><p>Rollers:<b> $10&ndash;$100 each</b></p></li><li><p>House ladder: <b>$100&ndash;$300</b></p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Phil and his crew rearranged their current jobs to ensure that our floors were refinished in time to get the painting done before our move-in date. We also asked them to remove all the baseboards and quarter round - which was good thing because then we could see how poorly the flooring had been...

We are very particular, so a four star from us is probably similar to a five star from most people. Sam and his crew were diligent and timely. We needed the job done by a specific date and they made it happen. Work looks very good. A few details were overlooked, but I know a call to Sam would...

"At first he was responsive and I was happy , but once I paid him , he did not show up again to do the second job that we agreed upon nor did he finish the first job that included tasks that were going to be completed in the second job . he did not show up on four different occasions over an entire week, then he hung up on me, I no longer want to work with him under any circumstances, so I would expect money back. He spilled paint on my cabinets, he painted the column the wrong color and it wasn't completed because it needs more applications, I overpaid him $100 on accident but said I would take it off of the next job that he never showed up for. Some tasks on the first job were going to be included in the second job but since he never showed up for the second job, the first job was not completed. I have to pay another contractor to fix his mistakes and finish the job. The paint in the bathroom also needs to be touched up, which he said he was coming back to do along with the other touch-ups needed. He also accidentally broke a piece off of my cabinet."
