What factors impact the cost of interior painting?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Moving furniture</p></li><li><p>Accent walls</p></li><li><p>Textured walls</p></li><li><p>High walls</p></li><li><p>Stairways or stairwells</p></li><li><p>Wall repairs</p></li><li><p>Time of year</p></li><li><p>Lead or asbestos testing</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Is black paint hard to paint with?

• <div><p>The color of your paint shouldn’t make it harder to apply, but it can be harder to cover in one coat, depending on the surface. Using a good quality primer that’s tinted gray will help make applying your black paint easier. Even with a primer, you will likely have to use two coats to get a perfect, solid black finish.</p></div>

Should I paint my stairway or foyer before selling?

• <div><p>Painting your stairway or foyer before selling can make your home more appealing to prospective buyers. “Painting a foyer is a great way to maximize your home’s value,” says Tschudi. “Prospective buyers see fresh paint and clean and empty rooms as a palate and are more compelled to buy.”</p></div>

Why does my trim paint look streaky?

• <div><p>Streaky trim paint can result from several factors, including improper application techniques and insufficient coats. If you use a brush too large or damaged, you’re more likely to get uneven coverage. Using the wrong paint for the surface can also mean it’s not opaque enough to get the right coverage and a smooth finish. Remember to keep drying times in mind if you’re doing multiple coats. Make sure the bottom layer is completely dry before adding another layer. Otherwise, the brush and drag and clump the different paint textures, leading to a streaky, bumpy mess.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over dirty walls?

• <div><p>Dirty or not, you should always <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-walls.htm">clean the wall</a> beforehand. Even if the wall looks sparkling clean to the naked eye, it&rsquo;s good practice to wipe it down with a damp rag and mild detergent. Leftover dirt, dust, and residue can create unsightly textures or interfere with the paint&rsquo;s adherence to the wall. You&rsquo;ll never regret cleaning it, but you might regret skipping this step.</p></div>
