Q: Do you paint the ceiling first or the walls?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re debating whether to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-walls-ceiling-and-trim.htm">paint the walls or ceiling first</a>, let us settle it for you. Painting the ceiling first is key&mdash;that way, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about paint drips. Always start at the top of the room and work your way down for best results.</p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait to paint over the caulk?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to wait at least two hours before you paint over a freshly applied caulk. This time frame is the bare minimum, however. If you live in a humid region or a cool climate, you&rsquo;ll need to wait even longer. A good rule of thumb is to wait a solid 24 hours for the caulk to dry to be on the safe side.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to hire a painter or do it yourself?

• <div><p>In all cases, it&rsquo;s more affordable to DIY paint than hire a professional painter, as you&rsquo;ll save on labor costs, which makes up the large majority of your total when you hire a pro. However, you get what you pay for. Professionals have the equipment and years of experience to tackle a job much more efficiently than most homeowners, and they typically provide better results. It&rsquo;s often worth the expense to save time and secure a more professional appearance for your paint job.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't paint behind the toilet?

• <div><p>While it may seem like a blind spot, if you don&rsquo;t paint behind the toilet, the previous color <i>will</i> likely be visible once the rest of the bathroom has been repainted, especially if you&rsquo;ve gone with a significantly different color palette. Additionally, not painting every part of the room at the same time means that you will have an older paint job behind your toilet that could be more susceptible to moisture damage. </p></div>

Q: Should I tip for exterior home painting?

• <div><p>Although most contractors, like painters, earn an hourly rate and do not expect tips, you can still tip if you&rsquo;re satisfied with the job and feel that the painters went above and beyond. Tipping about <b>$20 to $50 per worker</b> can go a long way in showing your appreciation for a job well done. However, check with the contractor beforehand to confirm the policy on tipping, as some companies do not allow employees to accept tips.</p></div>
