FAQs ABOUT INTERIOR HOUSE PAINTING
- Pick a paint color: dark, glossy paints with lots of pigmentation tend to take longer to cure than light, flat paints.
- Apply the paint evenly in two or more coats. This will help the paint to dry faster. Allow it to dry for about 2 hours.
- After applying paint, keep the room well vented for two weeks. Air movement promotes the paint's ability to dry and cure faster.
- Consider installing an air conditioner or using a dehumidifier if the humidity in your area is high.
With a good paintbrush and special ceiling paint, you typically need only one coat.
Depending on the flooring, trim, number of the doors, and prep work it could take up to 5 to 8 hours to paint one room.
It’s best to paint the ceiling first, then attend to the walls. This way you will have fewer drips on the walls.
The cost may vary depending upon the number of rooms on your property. You may want to hire a professional to paint 2000 square feet, especially if you need to repaint the entire interior. Contact US Painting Service for a free estimate!

FAQs ABOUT EXTERIOR HOUSE PAINTING
The interior and exterior paints have different product properties. It is possible to scrub and clean interior paint with household products such as clothing, while exterior paint is able to withstand fading and mildew along with other weather-related elements.
Painting during the right season ensures the paint will cure and dry smoothly. Summer and early fall are usually the ideal times to paint your house. This is because there are minimal fluctuations in temperatures.
Interior paint is not recommended for exterior surfaces, because exterior paint protects from weather conditions better than interior paint.
Most professionals try to get all of their painting projects finished within the warmer months. The weather conditions allow for much more effective results, both indoors and outdoors. However, the timing is not always right and we may get sidetracked by other priorities. While paint reacts differently in cold temperatures, winter days especially in Florida can still provide numerous opportunities to get the job done right.
