Q: Can you paint a popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-popcorn-ceilings.htm">paint a popcorn ceiling</a> is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)</p><p>&ldquo;Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,&rdquo; says Bob Tschudi. &ldquo;Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It&rsquo;s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.&rdquo;</p></div>

Q: How do painters price their work?

• <div><p>When estimating their costs, painters include the cost of the physical materials they&rsquo;ll need (like paint, tape, caulk, and masking plastic) as well as the labor costs of the painters doing the job. They may also need to consider transportation and other business expenses, like insurance. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">average cost to paint the exterior of a house</a> is about $3,100, but your specific price will depend on the size of your home, which contractors you choose, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: What should be included in a painting quote?

• <div><p>A painting quote should include a breakdown of material and labor costs, a detailed description of the scope of work, an estimated timeline for the project, a cost breakdown for any necessary prep work, payment terms, and information on warranties or quality guarantees. If your painter is supplying the materials, the quote should also include the quantity of paint needed, as well as the brand and color.</p></div>

Q: Are white walls going out of style?

• <div><p>White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you paint metal without primer?

• <div><p>Metal is finicky, particularly when exposed to the elements. In other words, you should always prime your metal garage door before laying down paint. Primer not only helps the paint stick to the metal, but it also prevents rust from bleeding through. If you already have some rust and want to avoid it peeking out, cover the spots with a zinc chromate primer. </p></div>

I highly recommend the Johnston team. They painted our exterior stucco home timely and efficiently, and we are highly satisfied. The management team were pleasant to communicate with, and were very understanding and flexible with some last minute requests.
