How much do painters charge per hour?

• <div><p>Professional painters charge <b>$20 to $50 per hour</b>, on average. Hourly rate cost factors include the complexity of the paint job, the type of paint, the height of the walls and ceiling, and the type of prep and repairs needed. For example, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-remove-wallpaper.htm">removing wallpaper costs</a> an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint my wood floors without sanding them?

• <div><p>Sanding a wood floor can be a lot of work, especially if the room is large. However, if you skip this step, the paint might not stick properly to the floor. Over time, your paint can peel or chip. Eventually, you may need to repaint the floor all over again. Save your time and money by sanding the floor the first time.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to roll or spray exterior house paint?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spray-or-roll-exterior-paint.htm">roll or spray exterior house paint</a> depends on your skill level, budget, and time constraints. Spraying produces even coverage quickly and efficiently, but mastering the technique can be challenging, and you might have to do a lot of splatter cleanup. Plus, renting or buying a sprayer costs more than budget-friendly rollers. Professional painters typically opt for spraying as it takes them less time and effort to get a flawless finish than rolling. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove all exterior paint before repainting?

• <div><p>There are times when you should remove all exterior paint before repainting. This includes when you need to get rid of lead-based paint (which should be done by a pro), or if you need to apply a different finish than what&rsquo;s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you&rsquo;ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.</p></div>

Q: Is there a difference between ceiling paint and wall paint?

• <div><p>While you can use wall paint on the ceiling, there are some differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ceiling-vs-wall-paint.htm">ceiling and wall paint</a>. Ceiling paint tends to be thicker, cover discoloration better, and comes in a more limited color selection. Wall paint is thinner, holds up to regular cleaning better, and is available in an almost endless variety of colors. </p></div>
