Should you use a roller or brush for satin paint?

• <div><p>Satin paint applied to walls is best done with a roller to get a smooth, even surface. Rollers are designed to apply paint evenly and efficiently. Using a roller will save you some time because it’s about twice as fast as brushing on your paint. For trim like door frames and window frames, use a brush to apply satin paint to ensure you get into all the nooks and crannies.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over dirty walls?

• <div><p>Dirty or not, you should always <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-walls.htm">clean the wall</a> beforehand. Even if the wall looks sparkling clean to the naked eye, it&rsquo;s good practice to wipe it down with a damp rag and mild detergent. Leftover dirt, dust, and residue can create unsightly textures or interfere with the paint&rsquo;s adherence to the wall. You&rsquo;ll never regret cleaning it, but you might regret skipping this step.</p></div>

Q: How long should you wait to shower after painting a bathroom?

• <div><p>Wait at least 48 hours before taking a shower in your newly painted bathroom. Even if the paint feels dry to the touch, it needs time to fully cure and resist the high humidity from a hot shower. Keep the bathroom well-ventilated by running an exhaust fan or leaving a window open during the drying time and while showering. </p></div>

Q: Should exterior paint be acrylic or latex?

• <div><p>You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you&rsquo;re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint aluminum gutters?

• <div><p>Painting exterior metal on your home, including the gutter and downspout system, is possible. However, the process requires significant preparation work so the paint sticks well and lasts, making the task worthwhile. Thorough cleaning, caulking seams, and using high-quality primer and paint are all necessary for achieving the best results. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-paint-gutters.htm">cost to paint gutters</a> averages $160 to $960.</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...

"The guy was nice enough, but the work was scheduled for Friday, June 13 at 8 am; he didn?t show up until 9 am. He stopped working around 3 pm and said he would come back at 9 am on Saturday; he didn?t arrive until about noon. A storm came up at 2 pm, stopping his work. He waited for a while then said he would come back on Monday. He also left materials and tools on my lawn, which I had to move on Sunday so that I could cut the lawn. Finally, the completed job was done haphazardly; the tops of the pickets are not straight, unlike the original fence. See the attached photo?the section with new pickets (far left) is straight, but the one next to it with old pickets is not; the section on the middle right is not straight, and the section with the new and old pickets (far right) is straight. I had specifically asked him to straighten the tops, and he never did."
