Is painting over wallpaper a good idea?

• <div><p>It’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—such as slight peeling and lifted seams—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’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 take to cure?

• <div><p>Generally, interior paint takes up to <b>one month</b> to fully cure. Factors like temperature, humidity, the type of paint you used, and the surface you painted over will affect how long it takes. In particularly dry areas, your paint will cure in 30 days, whereas humid locations may take more than a month. While paint may feel dry to the touch in a matter of hours, it takes much longer for it to cure, so be careful around newly painted surfaces within the first 30 days after painting.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best interior paint color to sell a house?

• <div><p>Using a neutral paint palette is the best way to help your house appeal to a wide range of buyers. Think beyond bright whites and overexposed grays, though&mdash;taupes, ivories, and off-whites can add visual interest without looking too stark.</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: Can I sleep in a room with low-VOC paint?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can sleep in a room painted with low-VOC paint on the same day you painted it. You&rsquo;ll want to give it at least 10 hours to allow any lingering chemicals to dissipate. However, it can still have an odor for about a day after painting, so you may want to add extra ventilation or adjust your sleeping arrangements if you&rsquo;re particularly sensitive. </p><p>No-VOC paint is generally odorless and won&rsquo;t emit toxic chemicals, so it&rsquo;s even safer and more comfortable to sleep near after a fresh paint job.</p></div>

We had a wonderful experience with a re-modeller. He came recommended by a friend. He is amazing. He has a number of people that work with him. You name it and he does it. I never even got paint on my bushes when he painted my exterior. Amazing.
