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: What is the best way to paint baseboards with carpet?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve already installed your carpet and your baseboards need a fresh coat, painter&rsquo;s tape can help ensure the paint stays on the wall and off the flooring. Be sure to add a margin of 2 to 3 inches of tape along the carpet to give yourself extra space for any unexpected spills or drips. You should also lay down a plastic tarp and secure it as close to the wall as possible with painter&rsquo;s tape.</p></div>

Q: What is the downside of painting brick?

• <div><p>While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.</p><p>Painting brick is porous, meaning it&rsquo;s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.</p><p>Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you&rsquo;ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it&rsquo;s hard to go back without some serious power washing&mdash;another added cost.</p></div>

Q: How to paint high up without a ladder?

• <div><p>You may be able to paint a high ceiling without a ladder if you have an extension pole that reaches high enough. Some extension poles have telescoping handles, allowing you to adjust the pole's length without needing to swap it out. Another option is to use a scaffold to reach high areas.</p></div>

Q: What should be included in a painting quote?

• <div><p>A painting quote should include a breakdown of material and labor costs, a detailed description of the scope of work, an estimated timeline for the project, a cost breakdown for any necessary prep work, payment terms, and information on warranties or quality guarantees. If your painter is supplying the materials, the quote should also include the quantity of paint needed, as well as the brand and color.</p></div>

They did just the places that required painting instead of having to do the whole house. They did scrape pretty well, but they missed a place. That was one thing I was upset about. We were traveling after that, so I didn't get a chance to bring them back. Their price was reasonable for all that...
