Q: Should I use a paint sprayer like the pros?

• <div><p>When you hire a professional painter, this expert may use a paint sprayer to repaint a room instead of a roller and brushes. Using a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spraying-vs-rolling-paint.htm">paint sprayer versus a roller</a> for a DIY job can be tough for a beginner. The cost of renting or buying a sprayer will be higher than buying rollers and brushes. It can be tough to ensure even coverage with a sprayer when you&rsquo;re a beginner. Avoiding splatters and overspray in other areas of the room can be difficult, too. Sprayers will save a lot of time, though. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint over paneling without sanding?

• <div><p>It's possible to paint over paneling without sanding if you use a primer that masks defects and provides a strong base layer for the final coat of paint to adhere to. If you have solid wood paneling, it's helpful to sand it lightly so your primer and paint stick. But, if your paneling has a faux veneer, skip the sanding because you&rsquo;ll remove a layer and expose the pressed board underneath.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to paint a two-story foyer?

• <div><p>Painting a two-story foyer costs on average between $2 to $6 per square foot, but can increase depending on the amount of detail needed like skylights, windows, trim, and more. For a 300-square-foot foyer, expect to pay between $600 and $1,800 or more.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to paint a room?

• <div><p>Consider skipping the primer if possible; it's only necessary if you need to cover something up, such as a stain or a porous surface, or if you want to switch from a dark color to a light one. If you have a steady hand and are a precise painter, you may want to consider skipping the painter&rsquo;s tape. Instead, carry a damp rag with you as you paint to quickly wipe away any mistakes.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do you need to paint a room?

• <div><p>In most cases, you&rsquo;ll need two coats of paint to ensure proper coverage. If you put down a coat of primer first, you could get away with a single coat of paint, but you&rsquo;ll likely still need two coats. The only exception would be if you&rsquo;re painting with a light color over a dark color, in which case you may need three or four coats of paint to ensure the dark color doesn&rsquo;t show through the new paint. </p></div>

He did a really good job on painting my whole house. I felt he was a little cheap for the work he was doing and was expecting a horrible job due to the price. He out did himself with his work. He also was done a few days earlier than expected. I highly recommend him.
