Q: How long does paint last on wood?

• <div><p>The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. </p></div>

Q: Should I use a brush or a roller for a paint touch-up?

• <div><p>When applying the first coat of touch-up paint, it is best to use a paint roller. A roller allows you to get a thin layer of paint to the area to avoid an unsightly blend with the old coat of paint. However, if you need to touch up the area a second time after the first coat has dried, a small brush will work best to avoid applying too much paint. </p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait to paint over the caulk?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to wait at least two hours before you paint over a freshly applied caulk. This time frame is the bare minimum, however. If you live in a humid region or a cool climate, you&rsquo;ll need to wait even longer. A good rule of thumb is to wait a solid 24 hours for the caulk to dry to be on the safe side.</p></div>

Q: Do you need primer for satin paint?

• <div><p>Because satin paint has a sheen to it, it will highlight curves and contours. While that&rsquo;s great for trim, it&rsquo;s not so excellent for your repaired drywall that has a few small blemishes. In addition, satin paint will stick to your surface better if it&rsquo;s primed. Sand and prime your surface before applying satin paint for best results.</p></div>

Q: Can you wallpaper or paint over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.</p></div>

"Do not hire these guys. They are not professional. No prep, no power wash, no patching, no primer as was written in the contract. Absolutely no communication from them when I try to reach out. Let paint scrapings everywhere. Paint droppings everywhere as the never used a drop cloth or even a piece of plastic. They even cleaned brushes in our yard! After no response from a phone call I sent an email explaining my disappointment and have heard nothing back."
