How do you open a plastic-sealed paint can?

• <div><p>Although plastic-sealed paint cans can look tricky, you can open them with adjustable pliers in no time. Grip the plastic seal with the pliers and pull the seal up, moving around the seal until you’ve pried the plastic up in enough spots. Then, you can grab the seal and pop it off the top of the paint can. Depending on the strength of the seal, you may even be able to remove the seal with just your hands by pulling upwards.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint stucco siding?

• <div><p>It is possible to paint stucco siding. Painting stucco offers the advantages of providing a refreshed appearance and matching the patched area with the rest of the painted structure. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind. </p><p>Painting the entire structure, including stucco patches, can make it more challenging to reapply stucco in the future if desired. Stucco is a breathable material that allows moisture to evaporate, while paint can create a barrier, potentially trapping moisture. </p><p>To minimize these risks, it's important to choose high-quality breathable paint and ensure proper surface preparation. Before deciding to paint stucco, careful consideration should be given to the long-term implications and desired aesthetic.</p></div>

Q: Why does zero-VOC paint still smell?

• <div><p>While no-VOC paints don&rsquo;t contain the chemical compounds that are toxic when they&rsquo;re outgassed, they can still have an odor. This is because odors can come from other chemicals in the paint that aren&rsquo;t classified as VOCs. Again, ventilation is key, especially if you plan to sleep in the room on the same day as you paint. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to paint shutters?

• <div><p>Painting shutters can increase your home&rsquo;s value. You&rsquo;ll see the biggest ROI if you paint shutters that look a little worse for wear, have peeling or flaking, or detract from your home's appearance in any way. Adding a fresh coat of paint is an easy way to boost curb appeal, but you may also need to touch up your entire home&rsquo;s exterior in some cases. If you paint your shutters but have lackluster exterior paint on your house, it can actually highlight that contrast.</p></div>

Q: How much does commercial interior painting or staining cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $2 to $6 per square foot, depending on the type of paint, surface preparation, and labor. Large commercial spaces may qualify for volume discounts.</p></div>
