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: How long does commercial painting take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 3-10 days, depending on the size of the space, drying times, and number of coats required.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over cracked paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over cracked paint, but only if you properly sand down the damaged areas. Once the surface is as smooth as you can get it, clean the walls and let them dry before applying a new coat of paint. Painting over cracked paint without sanding or cleaning beforehand will not cover up the cracks and may even make them look worse. </p></div>

Q: How do you fix bubbling paint?

• <div><p>To fix bubbling paint, scrape away any loose or blistered areas using a putty knife. Lightly sand the surface to smooth out rough edges and create a level finish. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, and any residue. Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a quality primer suited to the material you're painting. Finally, repaint the area, making sure to work in proper temperature and humidity conditions to prevent new bubbles from forming. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint my pavers?

• <div><p>While you can paint brick or concrete pavers, you shouldn&rsquo;t. Even with a matte finishing paint, it still creates a reflective surface where sunlight bounces off. This increases heat during summer months, making the pavers hard to walk on. The reflection can also damage your eyes. Finally, paint seals the pavers in the least desirable way and makes them impermeable, trapping water and moisture inside, which can cause other problems. Paint layers also chip easily.</p></div>
