Q: How long does it take to paint a house?

• <div><p>The length of time it takes to paint a house will depend on whether you&rsquo;re doing it yourself or hiring a pro, and the time of year in which you&rsquo;re planning to do it. A professional paint company can likely complete the job within three to four days, but they may need more time to account for bad weather. By contrast, it may take a week or more when opting to DIY. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint over peeling paint?

• <div><p>Sometimes you can get away with simply sanding and painting over small areas of peeling paint. However, the problem will likely return quickly, and the ridge between old and new paint will be visible. If you just need a quick fix and won't worry about appearance, chip away the peeling paint as much as possible, prime and paint the area, and skip the spackle step. </p></div>

Q: Is painting plaster different from painting drywall?

• <div><p>Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you&rsquo;ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.</p></div>

Q: How long after wet-sanding drywall can I paint?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to wait until the drywall is completely dry before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-walls.htm">painting the wall</a>. This can take up to 24 hours. If you paint while the drywall is still wet, the paint could bubble, peel, or have trouble sticking to the wall. To speed up the drying process, you can turn on a fan, run a dehumidifier, or open windows.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-paintable-wallpaper.htm">paint over existing wallpaper</a> if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you&rsquo;d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.</p></div>
