Painting questions, answered by experts

Many experts say to rely exclusively on semi-gloss when painting crown molding, as it imparts some shine and texture to the molding. Additionally, it’s more durable and long-lasting than flat paint. However, not everyone wants the added shine that semi-gloss paint provides, as it calls attention to imperfections in the wall. Flat paint offers a subtle and classic look, which is the right choice for many homeowners.

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters. 

The cost for interior painting is $1,985 on average, but the total price could be as low as $350 or as high as $5,500. Factors like the type of paint, the square footage of the painting area, and your geographic location play a part in determining the final project price.

If you choose basic flat paint, you can expect to pay about $13 per gallon. Specialty paints, like VOC-free and high-gloss enamel paint, are more expensive, costing about $35 per gallon.

Painting a two-story foyer costs on average between $2 to $6 per square foot, but can increase depending on the amount of detail needed like skylights, windows, trim, and more. For a 300-square-foot foyer, expect to pay between $600 and $1,800 or more.

Improper hanging can damage the artwork, misalign it, and decrease its visual appeal, potentially compromising its structural integrity.
