Can I sleep in a freshly painted room?

• <div><p>It’s best to avoid sleeping in a freshly painted room for 24 to 72 hours, depending on ventilation and the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the paint. If you’re using a low- to no-VOC paint in a room with good ventilation, it’s generally safe to sleep in the room once the paint is dry. For other kinds of paint, give the VOCs a few days to dissipate before sleeping in the room.</p></div>

Q: Can I sleep in a freshly painted room?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to avoid sleeping in a freshly painted room for 24 to 72 hours, depending on ventilation and the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the paint.

For other kinds of paint, give the VOCs a few days to dissipate before sleeping in the room.</p></div>

Q: How long do painted gutters last?

• <div><p>Because gutters are consistently exposed to elements like water and humidity, any paint applied to them will have a shorter life span than other exterior home features, like siding and shutters. In general, painted gutters will need to be touched up or completely repainted every 5 to 10 years, though you may get a couple extra years with regular care and maintenance.</p></div>

Q: How soon can you paint after drywall mud?

• <div><p>You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don&rsquo;t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.</p></div>

Q: Is spray painting cabinets a good idea?

• <div><p>Many DIYers like to spray paint cabinets because it provides a more even-looking finish than painting with a brush. However, getting comfortable with a spray painter takes time and without practice, you may not spray the surfaces evenly. Take some time to practice painting with a HVLP sprayer on cardboard or scrap wood before diving into your project.</p></div>

Q: Is there a difference between ceiling paint and wall paint?

• <div><p>While you can use wall paint on the ceiling, there are some differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ceiling-vs-wall-paint.htm">ceiling and wall paint</a>. Ceiling paint tends to be thicker, cover discoloration better, and comes in a more limited color selection. Wall paint is thinner, holds up to regular cleaning better, and is available in an almost endless variety of colors. </p></div>

He was punctual and trustworthy. He completed several projects for me. Kitchen, bath, porch, she shed, paint, base and casing, doors, flooring. I always had him return for each project since he did such a wonderful job. He exceeded my expectations and maintained the agreed budget.

Price seemed to be very high for an already finished garage. The estimate was for painting, per coat, plus we supplied all necessary primer, paint, etc. We can do the job ourselves but didnâ t want to. We are on a retirement budget, and just couldnâ t afford this price.
