Can you paint concrete with a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint concrete with paint rollers. In fact, using paint rollers is considered one of the easiest ways to evenly apply paint on concrete. A paint roller with a 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick nap—which is basically a fabric paint roller cover—is best for painting concrete. The thicker the nap, the more paint it can hold to fill those pesky concrete cracks and crevices.</p></div>

How long does an exterior paint job last?

• <div><p>An exterior paint job lasts an average of 5 to 10 years, although some might only last 2 or 3 years and others up to 20 years. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-will-your-paint-job-last.htm">How often you need to paint your home’s exterior</a> depends on various factors. The type and quality of the paint, the application quality, the surface material, and local weather conditions all play a part in the paint’s longevity. </p></div>

Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can’t stop you, we don’t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won’t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It’s often limited in color selection. If you’re painting a low-traffic area, such as a closet, ceiling paint might work in an absolute pinch. But for most walls, it’s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </p></div>

Q: Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

Q: Do you have to remove the toilet to paint the bathroom?

• <div><p>No, removing the toilet isn't the only way to paint every square inch of your bathroom. Using a thin roller, paintbrush, or paint pad can enable you to apply a new color within the tight squeeze between the toilet tank and the wall. While you can remove the toilet to access the space behind, it&rsquo;s often much more trouble than just taking care while painting. </p></div>

Q: What are the cons of painting concrete?

• <div><p>Unlike staining concrete, painting concrete often results in chips and peeling over time. You can expect numerous touchups over the years if the concrete is in a high-traffic area. Since concrete paints are opaque, you may also find it more difficult to get the exact color results you want. Lastly, painting concrete can make it much more slippery unless you mix in an additive for traction.</p></div>

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...

He said this project would take two weeks. Ten months in, it still isn't completed. I was without a sink, stove, oven or kitchen cabinets for six months. Whole weeks have gone by with nobody showing up, and most of the work that has been done is shoddy and rife with "beginner" mistakes. Tools of...
