Q: Can you paint when it’s raining?

• <div>While it&rsquo;s best to avoid exterior painting when it&rsquo;s raining, you can still paint inside when the weather is wet. As long as the humidity and temperature inside your house are moderate enough to allow paint to dry properly and your room is properly ventilated, it&rsquo;s perfectly fine to tackle an indoor painting project even if it&rsquo;s raining cats and dogs outside.</div>

Q: Should I paint before refinishing wood steps?

• <div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/refinishing-wood-steps.htm">Refinishing wood steps</a> before painting the surrounding walls or trim is the best option. Sanding stair treads creates fine dust that can settle on freshly painted surfaces and interfere with adhesion. Plus, refinishing involves heavy foot traffic, equipment, and potential splashes from stain or sealant, which can damage new paint. By tackling the stairs first, you reduce the risk of damaging painted walls and can more easily tape off and protect surfaces during painting.</div>

Q: How many colors should be in a whole-house color scheme?

• <div>A whole-house color palette often has between five and seven colors. Those include the trim color that appears throughout your home, a foundation color for your main living areas, secondary colors for each bedroom, and accent colors, which are close to your foundation or secondary colors. Smaller homes under 1,000 square feet may just have four or five colors, while larger homes can have ten or more and still look cohesive.</div>

Q: How much do other painting supplies cost?

• <div>In addition to paint, you&rsquo;ll need some other supplies to paint a house yourself. These include: <ul><li>Brushes: $3&ndash;$20 each</li><li>Tape: $3&ndash;$10 per roll</li><li>Drop cloth: $5&ndash;$30 each</li><li>Tray: $2&ndash;$5 each</li><li>Rollers: $10&ndash;$100 each</li><li>House ladder: $100&ndash;$300</li></ul></div>

Q: Can you add paint to a skip trowel wall texture?

• <div>Yes, you can absolutely paint a wall that has skip trowel texture, but you need to make sure you have the right tools and use the appropriate strategies. First, make sure you buy a high-capacity roller with at least a &frac34;&rdquo; nap. This type of roller will hold enough paint to make application easy, and the thick nap is more likely to apply paint over the peaks and valleys. Additionally, you can&rsquo;t tape a textured wall, so paint any untextured walls or ceilings first, then tape the smooth surfaces and paint the skip trowel walls last.</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.
