Q: Do I need to prime paintable wallpaper before painting?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need to apply <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn&rsquo;t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.</p></div>

Q: Is painting over wallpaper a good idea?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">remove wallpaper</a> rather than paint over it. You should only paint over wallpaper if removing it would damage the wall, the surface is relatively smooth, or there are minimal problem areas&mdash;such as slight peeling and lifted seams&mdash;that you can fix easily. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it can create more problems if the wallpaper is in poor condition and you don&rsquo;t properly prep the area for painting. Depending on the state of the wallpaper, color, and textures could show through, and moisture from the paint could loosen the adhesive, causing unsightly bubbling.</p></div>

Q: How long does paint last?

• <div><p>Most exterior paints last between <b>five and 10</b> <b>years</b>. Your region&rsquo;s climate and the quality of the primer and paint influence the total longevity. Additionally, the surface you paint over impacts your lifespan, as wood needs more frequent recoats than brick. </p><p>Most interior paint jobs can last anywhere between <b>three to 10 years</b>, depending on your lifestyle. If you have small children or pets that make the walls messy, you might need to repaint on the earlier side. However, if you have a quiet home, you can get several years out of your current paint job. </p></div>

Q: How to paint so it looks smooth?

• <div><p>If you want your paint to have a smooth finish, the technique you use is very important. Keep your brush at a 90-degree angle while applying the paint and feather as you go. Between coats, sand the wall lightly using a very high grit sand sponge of at least 220 grit.</p></div>

Q: Will repainting an interior room increase the value of the house?

• <div><p>Your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-interior-paint-increase-home-value.htm">return on investment (ROI) for interior repainting</a> work is around <b>107%</b>. Repainting an interior room in your home can give it an updated look that will appeal to potential buyers. A fresh paint job could reassure buyers that you&rsquo;ve cared for the home and made regular updates over the years you&rsquo;ve owned it. </p></div>

This firm was outstanding to deal with. Very professional staff and what they promised they did. Even came back to touch up after it rained that night and some of the paint did not dry so it washed off. Came back as promised and finished the job. Highly recommend.
