Q: Is it easy to add an orange peel texture to a wall?

• <div><p>Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-do-orange-peel-texture.htm">how to apply an orange peel texture</a> is similar to adding a knockdown texture. You can use a spray gun or a roller to apply the drywall texture and then use various blending techniques to create the desired orange peel look. Adding this texture could be a DIY job, but it also can be extremely messy, so best to leave it to a professional.</p></div>

Q: How do you estimate the cost of painting interior walls?

• <div><p>To estimate the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-paint-room.htm">cost to paint interior walls</a>, multiply the square footage by the average price range to paint interior walls, which is $2 to $6 per square foot. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room with 8-foot tall walls is 384 square feet, meaning that the cost to paint the room will range from $768 to $2,304. Painting the ceiling and any trim will add to the overall cost, as will any repairs.</p></div>

Q: What is included in a typical paint job?

• <div><p>The typical paint job includes all necessary <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-steps-prepare-your-home-exterior-paint.htm">prep work</a>, one or more coats of paint as specified by the contract, and cleanup. The total price quoted will account for labor, materials, and tax. Your painter should also conduct a home assessment to provide an accurate quote, a painting schedule, and a walkthrough once the job is complete.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint a fence with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do professional painters use?

• <div><p>Professional painters usually use at least two coats of paint when adding a new color. Depending on the surface they&rsquo;re painting, painters may apply a primer coat before two coats of paint. Ceilings, trim, and baseboards typically get one coat of paint applying a fresh coat of the same color.</p></div>
