Q: Can you paint over old stucco?

• <div><p>Stucco is an easy material to paint over, and a fresh coat of paint can give it a new life in a few simple steps. Just ensure the wall is in good condition, and clean the existing stucco before you get started&mdash;along with filling in any minor cracks or gaps. Well-maintained stucco should take in the new paint quite well.</p></div>

Q: How do you estimate the cost of painting interior walls?

• <div><p>To estimate the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-paint-room.htm">cost to paint interior walls</a>, multiply the square footage by the average price range to paint interior walls, which is $2 to $6 per square foot. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room with 8-foot tall walls is 384 square feet, meaning that the cost to paint the room will range from $768 to $2,304. Painting the ceiling and any trim will add to the overall cost, as will any repairs.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint stairs with a brush or roller?

• <div><p>While painting your stair's railing is a job for a small collection of various brush sizes, painting the stairs portion of a stairwell with a roller is a matter of personal preference. You can find two-, four-, and six-inch rollers at home centers and hardware stores, which can be excellent for painting treads and risers. However, you'll still need at least one brush to cut in the details and edges. </p></div>

Q: Do you need primer for satin paint?

• <div><p>Because satin paint has a sheen to it, it will highlight curves and contours. While that&rsquo;s great for trim, it&rsquo;s not so excellent for your repaired drywall that has a few small blemishes. In addition, satin paint will stick to your surface better if it&rsquo;s primed. Sand and prime your surface before applying satin paint for best results.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to paint a room yourself?

• <div><p>Assuming you have all of the supplies and materials needed to prep and paint, it will likely be less expensive to paint the room yourself, as it will only cost you the price of paint, which costs an average of <b>$15 to $60 per gallon</b>. Hiring a professional painter to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-paint-interior-house.htm">paint a room can cost</a> from <b>$950 to $3,000</b>, or <b>$2 to $6 per square foot</b>, depending on prep and materials involved.
