Q: How much does it cost to paint the exterior of a house?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost to paint the exterior of a house</a> ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about <b>$1.50 to $4 per square foot</b>, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.</p></div>

Q: Should I paint the walls or ceiling first?

• <div><p>This may come down to personal preference, but it&rsquo;s generally best to paint the ceiling before you paint the walls. Why? Painting the ceiling can be more physically demanding, and painting the ceiling last may result in drips or splatters that would mess up freshly painted walls. By painting the ceiling first, you&rsquo;ll avoid having to touch up walls after any painting accidents. It may not matter, though, if you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-ceiling-same-color-as-walls.htm">painting the ceiling the same color as the walls</a>.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to paint the interior of a home?

• <div><p>While it may surprise you, the best time to paint the interior of your home is not during the warm open-window months, but rather during the late fall or even winter. This is because the cooler months offer ideal humidity conditions for painting. Lower humidity and cooler temperatures means faster drying time and better paint adhesion. </p></div>

Q: How long should I wait between coats?

• <div><p>When applying multiple coats, wait<b> four to six hours</b> for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.</p></div>

Q: How long does paint last on shutters?

• <div><p>The life span of paint on shutters depends on factors like paint quality, climate, and maintenance. High-quality exterior paint applied correctly can last 5 to 10 years. In mild climates with less extreme weather, paint may endure longer. However, exposure to harsh sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations can lead to more frequent repainting. Regular cleaning, maintenance, and timely repainting when signs of wear or fading appear can help extend the life of paint on shutters and maintain their appearance.</p></div>
