Q: Which paint roller is best for walls?

• <div><p>A 7 to 12-inch wide microfiber or synthetic paint roller with a nap of 3/8 to 1/2 an inch will give you smooth, even paint coverage on interior walls. Before getting started, wrap painter&rsquo;s tape around the roller cover to remove any lint or fibers that may end up embedded in the paint, ruining your even finish.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is it easy to add an orange peel texture to a wall?

• <div><p>Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-do-orange-peel-texture.htm">how to apply an orange peel texture</a> is similar to adding a knockdown texture. You can use a spray gun or a roller to apply the drywall texture and then use various blending techniques to create the desired orange peel look. Adding this texture could be a DIY job, but it also can be extremely messy, so best to leave it to a professional.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to provide my own paint?

• <div><p>You may need to provide your own paint, depending on the agreement you make with the painter. Some painters prefer that you buy the paint and they supply the labor. However, some professional painters get a better price on paint and can pass that savings along to you even after accounting for labor costs.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to paint a barn?

• <div><p>Renting a sprayer is the easiest way to paint a barn, but for detailed areas, you&rsquo;ll want to use a hand brush to get the job done. If you don&rsquo;t wish to rent a sprayer, you can also use a roller to hand-paint your barn, but this will add time to your project.</p></div>

Really well. Pressure washing looks great and it was a tough job with a lot of mildew and overhanging roofs. The interior painting went very well too. Price was great, very attentive to details, on schedule, easy to communicate with the owners who oversaw the work every day.
