Q: Can you paint stone on the exterior of a house?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It&rsquo;s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You&rsquo;ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.</p></div>

Q: How long will painted shingles last?

• <div><p>Painted shingles will last between four and seven years; after that point, you&rsquo;ll need to paint them again and restart the process of having your roof inspected, replacing any damaged shingles, and so on. These inspections and repairs play a crucial role in extending the overall durability of your roof.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint should a wall have?

• <div><p>Typically, professionals recommend two coats of paint for even coverage. However, you may be able to get away with one coat if you&rsquo;re painting over a light color with a darker or similar-shade color. But if you&rsquo;re going from a darker to a lighter color, like white to black, you may need up to three coats. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re going from a darker to a lighter color, like white to black, you may need up to three coats. Buying high-quality paint and using primer on the walls beforehand can save you the extra labor and cost that comes with adding more coats of paint. </p></div>

Q: Do cinder blocks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, cinder blocks must be primed before painting. Without primer, your paint won't stick to the surface of the blocks. You should use a bonding and filling primer which fills all of the small pores of your blocks. Once the primer dries, you'll have a smoother surface to work with and your paint will stick easily to the blocks.</p></div>
