Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can’t stop you, we don’t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won’t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It’s often limited in color selection. If you’re painting a low-traffic area, such as a closet, ceiling paint might work in an absolute pinch. But for most walls, it’s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </p></div>

Q: How much does commercial interior painting or staining cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $2 to $6 per square foot, depending on the type of paint, surface preparation, and labor. Large commercial spaces may qualify for volume discounts.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to wash walls before painting?

• <div><p>The answer to whether you need to clean the walls before painting depends largely on the condition of the existing finish and your desired results. You can often get away with painting bedroom and living room walls with just a dusting and some high-quality paint. However, the best results come from doing all of the prep steps first, including a gentle cleaning.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to paint a room?

• <div><p>Consider skipping the primer if possible; it's only necessary if you need to cover something up, such as a stain or a porous surface, or if you want to switch from a dark color to a light one. If you have a steady hand and are a precise painter, you may want to consider skipping the painter&rsquo;s tape. Instead, carry a damp rag with you as you paint to quickly wipe away any mistakes.</p></div>

Q: Can I apply textured paint myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professionals ensure even application and durable finishes.</p></div>

They are very good at repairing and painting vehicles. I have been using them for 9 years. Their work is excellent and they have a quick turnaround time in getting the job done and they don’t overcharge. So it is value, service and dependability with them.
