Can I sleep in a freshly painted room?

• <div><p>It’s best to avoid sleeping in a freshly painted room for 24 to 72 hours, depending on ventilation and the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the paint. If you’re using a low- to no-VOC paint in a room with good ventilation, it’s generally safe to sleep in the room once the paint is dry. For other kinds of paint, give the VOCs a few days to dissipate before sleeping in the room.</p></div>

How long does paint last?

• <div><p>Most exterior paints last between <b>five and 10</b> <b>years</b>. Your region’s climate and the quality of the primer and paint influence the total longevity. Additionally, the surface you paint over impacts your lifespan, as wood needs more frequent recoats than brick. </p><p>Most interior paint jobs can last anywhere between <b>three to 10 years</b>, depending on your lifestyle. If you have small children or pets that make the walls messy, you might need to repaint on the earlier side. However, if you have a quiet home, you can get several years out of your current paint job. </p></div>

Q: Can I sleep in a freshly painted room?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to avoid sleeping in a freshly painted room for 24 to 72 hours, depending on ventilation and the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the paint. If you&rsquo;re using a low- to no-VOC paint in a room with good ventilation, it&rsquo;s generally safe to sleep in the room once the paint is dry. For other kinds of paint, give the VOCs a few days to dissipate before sleeping in the room.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint directly on new plaster?

• <div><p>New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-plaster-take-to-dry.htm">drying time for plaster</a> ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of paint sprayers?

• <div><p>Paint sprayers come with a few disadvantages, with the most notable being the up-front cost. You&rsquo;ll spend a few hundred dollars on a paint sprayer in most cases, while a roller and brushes will typically cost under $40. Sprayers also require more preparation to cover the areas you don&rsquo;t want to paint, and they require more technique to get your paint applied without drips or bubbles from applying too much paint at once. </p></div>

Q: How do you negotiate with house painters?

• <div><p>While your painters may have a certain price point in mind based on the materials and labor they estimate it will take to paint your house, it may be possible to negotiate with contractors, especially if you have multiple quotes to use as leverage. (A painter may be willing to offer some leeway to keep your business.) You might also be able to score a better deal by paying for your services upfront or bundling multiple services.</p></div>

Micheal, the owner of the company was great to work with. Micheal did a great job on the drywall repairs, painting the ceiling, trim and walls! He started the project on time and he finished on time. We will definitely have him back again to help us with our home remodel!
