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

While you can do either, it’s easier to paint your baseboards before your walls. Painting baseboards first lets you tape off the trim instead of the walls. Also, it’s easier to cover up any mistakes on the walls since you’ll eventually paint them.

The heaviest paint when dry is paint that has a thick pigment and additives like sand or some other aggregate. Oil-based paints can take the longest to dry because of their thicker pigments and higher densities, while water-based paints might be lighter when dry because the weight of the water reduces as it evaporates from the paint.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

The type of paint and finish you choose impacts the overall cost of your painting project. Some of the most common types of paint include:

  • Primer: $10–$20 per gallon

  • Flat or matte finish: $10–$70 per gallon

  • Eggshell or satin finish: $12–$72 per gallon

  • Semi-gloss finish: $14–$74 per gallon

  • High-gloss finish: $16–$76 per gallon

Painting walls white can make your space appear cleaner, brighter, and simpler. It creates a blank canvas for you to explore your home decor skills and doesn't limit your creativity. White walls are common in homes for this reason so it's always good to consider, especially if you plan to sell your home in the future.
