Q: How often should interior painted surfaces be refreshed?

• <div><p>Every 5-7 years, or more frequently in high-traffic areas showing wear.</p></div>

Q: Which type of paint is the heaviest when dry?

• <div><p>The heaviest paint when dry is paint that has a thick pigment and additives like sand or some other aggregate. Oil-based paints can take the longest to dry because of their thicker pigments and higher densities, while water-based paints might be lighter when dry because the weight of the water reduces as it evaporates from the paint.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over cabinets?

• <div><p>You can paint over wood, wood-laminate, and metal cabinets, but you need to prepare the surface first. Plastic laminate cabinets and thin veneers may accept a layer of paint depending on their condition, but they require special techniques and paints. If your cabinets sag or have significant damage, it may be a better investment to replace your cabinets than paint over them.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to paint?

• <div><p>Painting the interior of a single room will take the average DIYer between <b>6 and 10 hours</b>. However, your timeframe could increase or decrease based on factors such as your skill level, room size, as well as the number of light switch plates, outlet covers, and other small objects to work around.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint inside when it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-in-the-rain.htm">paint inside when it rains</a>, but you should keep the windows closed and have a dehumidifier in the room to maintain proper humidity under 70%. Note that keeping the windows closed means you won&rsquo;t have ventilation, so double-check that you&rsquo;re using a no-VOC paint for safety. Even then, it&rsquo;s a better idea to wait until the rain has passed before you start painting.</p></div>

I like his professional style of painting keeping all the lines neat and straight. I liked the way he kept the surroundings clean and the way he cleaned up after he was finished. Enjoyed having him!

He's very professional to deal with and can do any kind of painting I can think of. We were more than satisfied with what he did to the interior of our house. If we had wooden siding instead of vinyl, I'd have hired him to paint that as well. Any paint projects come up in the future...

Originally this guy quoted 1 price and took 3 times as long as he said and charged me twice what he quoted. Paint job was wrong color poorly done and had to get someone else just to finish what he messed up.
