How often should you paint the interior of your house?

• <div><p>You should repaint the interior of your house every 2 to 7 years, depending on which room needs repainting and how it's used. High-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms need more frequent repainting—typically every 2 or 3 years. Living rooms and dining rooms, which you may use less frequently, can go as long as 5 to 7 years or even longer before they need to be repainted. </p></div>

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

• <div><p>While painting your stair's railing is a job for a small collection of various brush sizes, painting the stairs portion of a stairwell with a roller is a matter of personal preference. You can find two-, four-, and six-inch rollers at home centers and hardware stores, which can be excellent for painting treads and risers. However, you'll still need at least one brush to cut in the details and edges. </p></div>

Q: Is it okay to paint over existing exterior paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over old exterior paint as long as you properly prepare the surface. You may need to sand your siding before painting over it, especially if you have wood siding. In some cases, if your siding is in good shape, a simple exterior primer is enough to prepare the surface for a new coat of paint. Touching up your home&rsquo;s exterior can not only increase your curb appeal; it can also help your home&rsquo;s siding be more durable and long-lasting.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to prime stucco before painting?

• <div><p>Priming stucco before painting is not an absolute requirement, but applying a primer coat is recommended. Primer is designed to serve as a strong bonding agent between the stucco surface and the outer paint layers. Using a primer can also help produce even coverage and color for a better-looking final product.</p></div>

Q: What humidity is too high to paint in?

• <div><p>In most cases, humidity above 70% is considered too high to paint in. Humid conditions will slow the paint&rsquo;s drying process, which increases the risk of drips and other imperfections. Moisture on the walls is also one of the biggest reasons for bubbles in your paint and poor adhesion, so you&rsquo;ll get an overall better finish if you maintain humidity under 70%.</p></div>
