How do you paint a brick chimney?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-brick-home-exteriors.htm">how to paint a brick chimney</a>, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.</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: Can I use a roller to paint my cabinets?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can use a roller to paint detached cabinet doors and cabinet sides more quickly. However, expect at least some brush or spray gun work to complete the project, especially if your cabinets have complex insets, which are difficult to paint with a roller.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use over wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you decide to paint over wallpaper, it&rsquo;s important to prep the surface with an oil- or shellac-based primer. This helps prevent moisture from creating bubbles loosening the adhesive. Plus, a primer helps paint attach to the wall smoothly and securely. Use quality <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-paints-latex-vs-acrylic.htm">oil-based or latex paint</a> to cover the wallpaper. Be prepared to cover the wallpaper with two coats for maximum coverage.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if I used exterior paint inside?

• <div><p>The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn&rsquo;t the way the paint looks or performs&mdash;it&rsquo;s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out&mdash;like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.</p></div>

Horacio and his team did a great job! We loved the final result. They were friendly, helpful, professional, clean and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Exodus Remodeling for any roofing, and painting work.

You cannot believe what the owner tells you. They dumped leftover paint in my backyard and though Dave Templeman promised to have it cleaned up he never did.
