Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can’t stop you, we don’t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won’t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It’s often limited in color selection. If you’re painting a low-traffic area, such as a closet, ceiling paint might work in an absolute pinch. But for most walls, it’s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </p></div>

What kind of paint can you use on aluminum siding?

• <div><p>The three main types of paint you can use on aluminum siding are acrylic latex paint, self-etching primer, and acrylic paint. Experts say acrylic latex paint offers the best results because it often lasts longer and is easy to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-aluminum-siding.htm">clean aluminum siding</a> without removing any of the paint. You need to paint your aluminum siding every 5 to 10 years.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between limewash and paint?

• <div><p>The main difference between limewash and paint is their chemical makeup and ingredients. Limewash is made from lime and water, which is more breathable than the ingredients in paint, which is made from a combination of plastic, acrylic, or latex. Because of these ingredients, limewash is more transparent than paint; it also only appears as white, while paint can be mixed into an endless number of different colors and shades.</p></div>

Q: How much does interior painting cost?

• <div><p>Depending on the wall condition, paint quality, and labor, the cost ranges from $2 to $6 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Should I prime over old exterior paint?

• <div><p>Priming over old exterior paint is fine if the original paint is not cracked, chipped, and peeling. When that is the case, you need to scrape it off and sand first. Primer improves adhesion, seals stains, and provides a consistent base for the new paint. It also enhances the paint's durability and helps achieve a more uniform finish. </p></div>

Excellent job on all projects. Chris and his crew were easy to work with. They made sure all was proceeding, as discussed and always cleaned up the area at the end of each day. They went over and above to make sure you were satisfied with their work. I highly recommend Paint Pros/ Chris Landis

"Scott and Brian were clear and honest about expectations, and their price was very reasonable for a big project (painting my 110-year-old 3-story home). Our house was completed on time and the painters and the crew were respectful and thoughtful of all the scrapping and prepping my old house took to complete. I highly recommend them!"
