Do you need to prime fiberglass before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, you should prime a fiberglass bathtub before painting it. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">primer</a> improves the paint’s adhesion, strengthening and increasing the durability of the final result. While you can buy primer separately, bathtub and tile refinishing kits come with a primer designed to work with the paint and hardener.</p></div>

How often should you paint the interior of your house?

• <div><p>You should repaint the interior of your house every 2 to 7 years, depending on which room needs repainting and how it's used. High-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms need more frequent repainting—typically every 2 or 3 years. Living rooms and dining rooms, which you may use less frequently, can go as long as 5 to 7 years or even longer before they need to be repainted. </p></div>

Q: How long should you air out your house after painting?

• <div><p>After painting, air out the painted area for at least 48 to 72 hours by opening windows and using fans, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The process helps disperse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) the paint emits, reducing their concentration indoors. However, in some cases, especially with oil-based paints, airing out for extended periods may be necessary. Monitor air quality and continue ventilation until paint fumes dissipate significantly.</p></div>

Q: What is the correct order to paint a room?

• <div><p>There is no one correct order for painting a room, as it largely depends on personal preference and skill level. However, for non-professional painters, we recommend the following order: ceiling, walls, doors, windows, trim. This is because painting trim, windows, and doors can be more time-consuming and meticulous, and it's best to save them for last when you&rsquo;ve already gained some confidence from painting the larger surfaces.</p></div>

Q: Does paint go bad?

• <div><p>Yes, paint does go bad. How long a can of paint will last once opened depends on the type of paint and the storage conditions. If you take care to store it properly&mdash;sealed up airtight in a cool, dry spot away from the sun&mdash;your paint can last for several more years. </p></div>

"We recently hired Don Belcher to paint the inside of our home and front door. We could not be more pleased with our decision to do so. Don promptly provided us with an estimate of the cost, that he didn't go over, and was able to start painting earlier than originally planned. Do was meticulous in his work and went the extra mile to ensure no paint went where it shouldn't. When schedules changed due to other work being done in the house, Don was flexible and cooperative in rearranging his schedule to ensure deconfliction. Don has an outstanding work ethic, showing up on time and giving us a full day's work for a full day's pay. Our job was his number one priority until completion. In addition to doing a top-notch painting job, Don assisted with little extras such as making recommendations, running to get and change light fixtures, airflow regulators, outlet/switch covers, etc. He also provided us with great information about the community as we were new to West Virginia...restaurants, social activities, and outdoor recreation. Don is a true gentleman and the consummate professional. He has our highest recommendation."
