Should I tip for exterior home painting?

• <div><p>Although most contractors, like painters, earn an hourly rate and do not expect tips, you can still tip if you’re satisfied with the job and feel that the painters went above and beyond. Tipping about <b>$20 to $50 per worker</b> can go a long way in showing your appreciation for a job well done. However, check with the contractor beforehand to confirm the policy on tipping, as some companies do not allow employees to accept tips.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on a wrought iron fence?

• <div><p>Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint my pavers?

• <div><p>While you can paint brick or concrete pavers, you shouldn&rsquo;t. Even with a matte finishing paint, it still creates a reflective surface where sunlight bounces off. This increases heat during summer months, making the pavers hard to walk on. The reflection can also damage your eyes. Finally, paint seals the pavers in the least desirable way and makes them impermeable, trapping water and moisture inside, which can cause other problems. Paint layers also chip easily.</p></div>

Q: Will repainting an interior room increase the value of the house?

• <div><p>Your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-interior-paint-increase-home-value.htm">return on investment (ROI) for interior repainting</a> work is around <b>107%</b>. Repainting an interior room in your home can give it an updated look that will appeal to potential buyers. A fresh paint job could reassure buyers that you&rsquo;ve cared for the home and made regular updates over the years you&rsquo;ve owned it. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you paint brick without a primer?

• <div><p>If you skip using a primer before painting brick, you risk ending up with a blotchy paint job that won&rsquo;t last as long. Because of the natural variations in brick, paint can adhere and dry unevenly to different spots. When you use a primer, you put a neutralizing layer between the brick and the paint, evening the texture and color. Without a good primer, paint can also flake off in spots, come out blotchy, and wear away more easily.</p></div>
