Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can’t stop you, we don’t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won’t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It’s often limited in color selection. If you’re painting a low-traffic area, such as a closet, ceiling paint might work in an absolute pinch. But for most walls, it’s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </p></div>

Q: What adds more value to a house: interior paint or exterior paint?

• <div><p>Both interior and exterior paint add value to your home, but exterior paint may have a higher ROI when it comes time to sell. Houses with more curb appeal fetch higher prices overall, and a fresh coat of paint can go a long way toward making a great first impression.</p></div>

Q: How long should pool deck paint last?

• <div><p>Depending on factors such as weather, use, substrate condition, and type of paint used, pool deck paint should last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Keeping the paint clean and resealing every year or two can help extend the life of the paint. Proper preparation before painting also plays a large role in how long the paint lasts on a pool deck. Paint will likely not last as long on a pool deck in poor condition before painting.</p></div>

Q: What is the best paint finish for painted shutters?

• <div><p>While flat and satin finishes are ideal for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-finish-your-front-door.htm">garage or front doors</a>, siding, and trim, gloss and semi-gloss are more common on shutters. That&rsquo;s because these types of finishes highlight this proportionally smaller exterior home feature, adding both contrast and layers of texture to the overall facade. Other types of finishes aren&rsquo;t off limits, but you&rsquo;ll have more success by choosing one that provides a nice sheen. </p></div>

Q: How much paint is needed for a 12x12 room?

• <div><p>One gallon of paint covers about 400 square feet. Assuming that you have four equal walls that are 8 feet high, a 12x12 room will need one gallon of paint per coat. The number of coats you need will depend on the condition of the wall and whether you&rsquo;re painting over an existing color or starting fresh. </p></div>

"Slower than expected; due to rain and storms. Normally a crew of 4 experienced painters showed up at 9 am and often stayed until 5:30 or 6 pm. They laid tarps everywhere and were respectful to our neighbors. Excellent detail and trim work. They stored all equipment and replaced deck furniture daily. Excellent crew. Quiet and efficient."
