Tony and his team were very professional, on time and very pleasant to work with. The worked hard every day and quickly to get the job done and it looks amazing! I will be using them again in the future!
Without getting too technical, higher humidity makes water evaporate at a slower rate. That causes the solvent to evaporate before the water or oil, which means your paint will not fully cure.

We had a terrible experience with a previous local paint company so we decided to go with Kelly Brothers Painting for our next project. The first time we had Justo and his team they were amazing. They painted our house exterior. We were so happy we used them again to paint our commercial building. That was not an easy job but again Justo and his team came through. We have had so many compliments on both our home and our building. We called again for some interior paint work and Miguel was our foreman. Again I was very satisfied, so much so that we continued with more interior work. Each team that has come out has been superior. They pay close attention to details. It is so nice to do business with such a reputable company.
This single-story home located near South Bluebonnet has smooth stucco, siding, wooden eaves, functional shutters, garage doors, and wooden doors and windows. It included average prep for a home that has been well maintained and built in the last 15 years. Homes like this range between $4,000-$5,000 to paint.
For large spaces and walls we recommend using a roller. Using an extension pole will also speed up the paint project dramatically. To ensure a smooth and even surface make sure you:
If you do decide to make it a full-time business, the sky’s the limit. The house flipper/contractor that I worked for billed clients $35 per hour for painting, and paid his best painters perhaps half of that, so there is room for some profit there. Consider the case of Matt Shoup, who started with $100 and went door-to-door, asking neighbors if they needed some painting done, then built a painting business that earns $2.5 million per year!

Of course, there is no set timeline since every home is different. However, there are some guidelines to follow, although several factors can change the timing.
I'd highly recommend Ruben for anyone looking for a paint job. He will use any brand paint you'd like but has good pricing with Sherwin Williams so I would tell you to follow his recommendations.
As for actually using the sprayer, the main thing to remember is to not overcoat with paint. Two or three quick passes will minimize drippage as opposed to trying to get a full coat on all at once. (Which I learned the hard way. The first room I painted was so drippy droppy, we had to do some extra sanding once it dried. I felt so bad!) Only by actually using the sprayer will you get a method down. By the time I was done with the sprayer, I felt like a pro and actually had fun painting!
I ended up scraping off paint and wallpaper down to the plaster. It took a couple days to finish. I’m so glad they only did that in the one room! Again, moisture really helped in the process. The more I soaked the walls, the easier it was to scrape and remove the wallpaper and paint. After I had the entire room scraped down to the bare plaster walls, I realized I would have to repair some cracks and skim coat the entire room if there were going to be halfway decent looking walls.
Painting the interior of your home is a great way to revitalize your space and give it a fresh new look. People paint their interiors to revive tired or dirty walls, match a new interior design, brighten a dark room, or visually change the scope of the area. Because many interiors follow what is known as a “color story”, or a cohesive color design throughout the home, it’s not uncommon to paint the entirety of a home interior at one time.
Homeowners who want one or more rooms finished during a single painting job can benefit from estimating the cost on the number of rooms and size of the rooms being painted. As a general rule of thumb, it will cost anywhere from $250 to $400 per room to have them painted; however, the more rooms you need painted in a single job, the less the cost per room will be in the end. For example, if you have 5 bedrooms that need painting in a single job, you will pay less per room than if you had only 1 bedroom that needed to be painted. It is therefore more cost effective to have multiple rooms painted in a single job, since you will save money in the long run.
The paint itself is another factor that will affect price, but you can calculate how much. There are different price points for paint depending on the brand of your choice, so make sure you choose one that’s one your price range. When you go to the hardware store, let the staff know what your budget is and they will help you find the right brand to suit your needs. You can also go online to look for recommendations and read reviews.

While it’s possible to paint at higher humidity levels than you may have thought, there are tips you should follow to make it more successful. If not, you may find yourself with a curing problem and you may need to strip the paint and start over.
It makes a difference where you look, and may actually be the reason why you never have luck with painters!
