Q: Can I sleep in a room with low-VOC paint?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can sleep in a room painted with low-VOC paint on the same day you painted it. You&rsquo;ll want to give it at least 10 hours to allow any lingering chemicals to dissipate. However, it can still have an odor for about a day after painting, so you may want to add extra ventilation or adjust your sleeping arrangements if you&rsquo;re particularly sensitive. </p><p>No-VOC paint is generally odorless and won&rsquo;t emit toxic chemicals, so it&rsquo;s even safer and more comfortable to sleep near after a fresh paint job.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t pressure wash before painting?

• <div><p>If the exterior walls are not thoroughly cleaned before a paint job, the paint could stick to the grime, creating obvious imperfections along the way. Beyond that, painting over a freshly-cleaned wall just about doubles the lifespan of the paint, from three or four years to seven to ten years. </p></div>

Q: How long does paint last on concrete?

• <div><p>The type of paint you use on concrete influences how long it will last. Epoxy paint can last as long as 30 years and often comes with a warranty for at least 15 years. Another factor impacting the longevity of the paint is how much wear and tear the floors receive, such as heavy machinery or constant foot traffic, which can shorten the life span. </p></div>

Q: How do you open a can of dry paint?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-make-paint-dry-smoother.htm">paint drying smoothly</a> on a wall is ideal, a can full of dry paint is not. To open a can of dry paint, you&rsquo;ll need a tool with a sharp edge, such as a utility knife or a box cutter. Take your tool and score the area where the lid meets the can to break through the dried-up paint. Then, use a paint can opener or a flathead screwdriver to pry the lid open and check the state of the contents. For smaller cans with plastic lids, you can run the top under hot water to loosen the lid. </p></div>

Q: Do professional painters prep walls?

• <div><p>A professional painter will typically prep the walls to ensure a longer-lasting, smoother paint job. Prepping the walls can involve scraping off debris or flaked paint, filling in grooves or nail holes, sanding, cleaning, applying a coat of primer, taping the trim, and removing outlet covers. You should ask your painter before hiring about their process to make sure it&rsquo;s in line with your expectations and needs.</p></div>

Derek painted the entire main floor of the residence which is 2150 ft.² with ceilings in access of 25 feet in height. His ability to do the job is exceptional, an application and cleanup. He?s the only painter I?ve used that I didn?t have to ask him to caulk corners of walls before he painted...
