Q: Do I need to prime paintable wallpaper before painting?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need to apply <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn&rsquo;t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over peeling paint?

• <div><p>Sometimes you can get away with simply sanding and painting over small areas of peeling paint. However, the problem will likely return quickly, and the ridge between old and new paint will be visible. If you just need a quick fix and won't worry about appearance, chip away the peeling paint as much as possible, prime and paint the area, and skip the spackle step. </p></div>

Q: Will house painters expect a tip?

• <div><p>While painters won&rsquo;t expect a tip, they may accept one if you offer&mdash;which means any amount of tipping you do is above and beyond, even if it&rsquo;s just $10 or $20 per painter. Instead of monetary tips, many painters prefer their customers to leave them positive online reviews, which can line their pockets in the form of future business opportunities.</p></div>

Q: Do you paint the ceiling first or the walls?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re debating whether to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-walls-ceiling-and-trim.htm">paint the walls or ceiling first</a>, let us settle it for you. Painting the ceiling first is key&mdash;that way, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about paint drips. Always start at the top of the room and work your way down for best results.</p></div>
