Q: How many coats of paint do you need to paint a room?

• <div><p>In most cases, you&rsquo;ll need two coats of paint to ensure proper coverage. If you put down a coat of primer first, you could get away with a single coat of paint, but you&rsquo;ll likely still need two coats. The only exception would be if you&rsquo;re painting with a light color over a dark color, in which case you may need three or four coats of paint to ensure the dark color doesn&rsquo;t show through the new paint. </p></div>

Q: Is a roller or brush better for eggshell paint?

• <div><p>For larger areas, like painting walls, a roller is the best option for applying eggshell paint. Rollers are made to hold more paint and spread it evenly and efficiently over your wall. A roller will be faster and give you a more even coat than a brush for painting walls and ceilings, and it will avoid the visible texture you&rsquo;d get from brushstrokes for a clean finish. For smaller areas, like trim, a brush will work so long as you remember to paint with the grain of the wood. </p></div>

Q: What types of paint are available?

• <div><p>Options include matte, satin, and semi-gloss finishes. Choose based on room use and desired look.</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: How do you hide wallpaper seams when painting?

• <div><p>You can hide wallpaper seams when painting by applying joint compound over them and then sanding thoroughly until smooth. You&rsquo;ll want to apply two layers of compound, allowing for four to eight hours between coats. Do a light sanding between coats and then after the final coat is dry. Once the compound dries completely, you can begin priming and painting the wall.</p></div>

This is the kind of project you never want to have to do. We had water damage to our bathroom wall because our wood/stucco siding failed. I didn't even hesitate to call Frank. He gave me fair quotes to do the job well (vinyl siding) or for life (Hardie board). We worked with Mike to settle on...
