What sheen of paint should I use?

• <div><p>The best sheen depends on your needs. Satin and eggshell sheens are often recommended for siding since their lightly reflective finish can help hide imperfections while being relatively easy to clean. Semi-gloss sheen is a great fit for trim since it’s incredibly easy to clean and more durable and moisture-resistant than satin and eggshell, but if you use it for the entire surface, its more reflective properties can highlight imperfections. This is also why high-glass sheen isn’t a great fit for the entire surface.</p></div>

Q: What is the benefit of hiring a professional painter?

• <div><p>One of the most significant benefits of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-things-consider-when-hiring-interior-painter.htm">hiring a professional painter</a> is that they complete the task faster and better. Generally, it takes about a day to paint a room, depending on dry time. If you're painting your entire house or the exterior of your home, that's a lot of time spent with a paintbrush in hand. Outsourcing this project to a painting pro will save you countless hours.</p><p>Other benefits of hiring a professional painter include:</p><ul><li><p>Quality experience with painting </p></li><li><p>Assistance with choosing colors</p></li><li><p>Using the right tools for the job</p></li><li><p>Extensive product knowledge</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you save a dried paintbrush?

• <div><p>With patience, you can often save a dried paintbrush. Soak the bristles overnight and clean the brush as you would any other time. You'll likely have to repeat the cleaning steps, including soaking, more than once.</p></div>

Q: Is it bad to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can paint over wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it&rsquo;s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.</p></div>

Q: How long does paint last on fiberglass?

• <div><p>With a protective top coat, fiberglass door paint will last two or more years. Sometimes, this life span can be even shorter depending on what elements the door is exposed to. Conditions like heavy rain and snowfall don&rsquo;t usually cause issues, but high temperatures and direct sunlight can quickly lead to cracking and bubbling. </p></div>
