Q: Can I paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-paintable-wallpaper.htm">paint over existing wallpaper</a> if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you&rsquo;d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to paint the interior of a home?

• <div><p>While it may surprise you, the best time to paint the interior of your home is not during the warm open-window months, but rather during the late fall or even winter. This is because the cooler months offer ideal humidity conditions for painting. Lower humidity and cooler temperatures means faster drying time and better paint adhesion. </p></div>

Q: How can wallpaper be covered without removing it?

• <div><p>Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it&rsquo;s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You&rsquo;ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over paneling without sanding?

• <div><p>It's possible to paint over paneling without sanding if you use a primer that masks defects and provides a strong base layer for the final coat of paint to adhere to. If you have solid wood paneling, it's helpful to sand it lightly so your primer and paint stick. But, if your paneling has a faux veneer, skip the sanding because you&rsquo;ll remove a layer and expose the pressed board underneath.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove all exterior paint before repainting?

• <div><p>There are times when you should remove all exterior paint before repainting. This includes when you need to get rid of lead-based paint (which should be done by a pro), or if you need to apply a different finish than what&rsquo;s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you&rsquo;ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.</p></div>

Jerry is a very nice guy. He seems to really like what he does, but the quality of the work is where things go down hill. The job was supposed to take 4 to 5 days. He and his guys (both are son in-laws from what I recall) would show up on time but always be in a hurry to leave by 2 or 3pm....
