Q: How much does it cost to paint a metal garage door?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-garage-door.htm">cost to paint a garage</a> door is usually $1 to $4 per square foot, which translates to around $120 to $500 for the average two-car garage door. This relatively low-cost painting project can greatly impact your home&rsquo;s look and curb appeal, and you can save a good deal of money by doing it yourself.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between flat and matte paints?

• <div><p>While often used interchangeably, flat and matte paints are not the same. Flat paint has no gloss and is completely shine-free, while matte has up to 10% resin, giving it a slightly velvety appearance. That small amount of gloss in matte paint gives it a more elegant, modern appearance than flat paint, though flat paint is ideal for hiding imperfections in even the most dented, scratched, and repeatedly repaired surfaces. </p></div>

Q: What is the correct order to paint a room?

• <div><p>There is no one correct order for painting a room, as it largely depends on personal preference and skill level. However, for non-professional painters, we recommend the following order: ceiling, walls, doors, windows, trim. This is because painting trim, windows, and doors can be more time-consuming and meticulous, and it's best to save them for last when you&rsquo;ve already gained some confidence from painting the larger surfaces.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint galvanized chain link fencing?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.</p></div>

Q: How often should you repaint your bathroom?

• <div><p>Generally, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-bathrooms.htm">paint your bathroom</a> every three to four years. Seven years is usually the maximum time you should allow between refreshes. How often you should repaint your bathroom depends on the type of material you used on the walls or ceiling, the average moisture and humidity level in the room, and the quality of the paint.</p></div>

In the course of this year, I have had these guys hang door, repair plaster, tile, paint, wallpaper, and repair a window sill. There is nothing they can’t handle! And now my bedroom is gorgeous.
