I'm a retired guy who has owned 7 houses, none of them new, and so I've had lots of experience with all the little repairs that need to be done in a home. I've been working part time as a handyman since I retired a few years ago. I paint, repair walls, do light remodeling, minor electrical such as replacing switches and outlets and installing new lights, light plumbing such as fixing and replacing toilets and faucets. I can usually start work within a day or two of being called. I work according to your schedule.

Painting questions, answered by experts

Aside from the primer and paint choice, consider other cost factors that can impact the overall price of your interior painting project. For example, the following items are likely to increase the cost of your project:

  • Moving furniture

  • Accent walls

  • Textured walls

  • High walls

  • Stairways or stairwells

  • Wall repairs

  • Time of year

  • Lead or asbestos testing

It’s fine to paint over acrylic paint with latex paint as long as the surface is properly prepped. If your paint surface isn’t glossy, you should be able to apply your paint or primer directly to it. If your acrylic surface is glossy, rough up the surface with some sandpaper first and use a good primer to ensure proper adhesion for your latex paint.

You can paint directly on laminate surfaces. However, the preparation steps generally determine how long the paint will last and the finish quality. Laminate has a very slick surface that discourages things like grease, oil, dirt, and other substances from sticking to it. While that's great for staying clean, the slick surface also makes it difficult for paint to stick without at least some prep work.

Many DIYers like to spray paint cabinets because it provides a more even-looking finish than painting with a brush. However, getting comfortable with a spray painter takes time and without practice, you may not spray the surfaces evenly. Take some time to practice painting with a HVLP sprayer on cardboard or scrap wood before diving into your project.

Many people choose to paint the walls first for a few reasons. First, it can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation to tackle the rest of the room. Second, starting with the walls allows for more forgiveness of small mistakes. You can paint right up to the edge of the trim and easily cover up any accidental paint drops later. On the other hand, if you start with the trim, you need to be more precise to avoid any splatters on the walls.
