Q: Is it cheaper to hire a painter or do it yourself?

• <div><p>In all cases, it&rsquo;s more affordable to DIY paint than hire a professional painter, as you&rsquo;ll save on labor costs, which makes up the large majority of your total when you hire a pro. However, you get what you pay for. Professionals have the equipment and years of experience to tackle a job much more efficiently than most homeowners, and they typically provide better results. It&rsquo;s often worth the expense to save time and secure a more professional appearance for your paint job.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to tip a painter?

• <div><p>The best time to tip a painter is after the job is complete. Alternatively, you can buy the painters lunch or coffee during the job.</p></div>

Q: How long do painted gutters last?

• <div><p>Because gutters are consistently exposed to elements like water and humidity, any paint applied to them will have a shorter life span than other exterior home features, like siding and shutters. In general, painted gutters will need to be touched up or completely repainted every 5 to 10 years, though you may get a couple extra years with regular care and maintenance.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint latex over acrylic?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fine to paint over acrylic paint with latex paint as long as the surface is properly prepped. If your paint surface isn&rsquo;t glossy, you should be able to apply your paint or primer directly to it. If your acrylic surface is glossy, rough up the surface with some sandpaper first and use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">good primer</a> to ensure proper adhesion for your latex paint.</p></div>
