There were 17 gallons of paint (plus 1 extra for the trim) for repainting the house. Including the prep work (pressure washing, sealing, placing tape around windows, etc) and the actual work, it took two of us three days to complete the project.

While we’ve been talking about humidity in the air, moisture in the material you’re painting will affect the result as well. To be sure a surface is dry before you start, there are ways to test it.

Painting your own house sounds fun since you could do it anyway you want. But I don’t think I would be able to do that though. Hope I could do that someday though 🙂 tisha February 26, 2015

In addition, Alabaster is an off-white option that works well to modernize exterior brick and traditional clapboard siding. This classic color contrasts beautifully with darker toned roof shingles, navy shutters, black trim colors, or charcoal front doors.

You should paint your house exterior every 5 to 10 years. Painted wood surfaces last 4 to 8 years while brick and stucco can last 6 to 11 years. Of course, this depends on how much care your painters put into exterior prep work. A poorly painted exterior won’t last 1 or 2 seasons before the paint starts peeling. That’s why hiring an exterior painting company with a good written warranty like Improovy is important.
Color can be overwhelming for some. However, do not let a fear of color make you choose white, off white, or beige.Trying a few different colors will allow you to create a specific feeling in the room.For instance, dark colors add texture and depth to the space. This is particularly true if the room is very large with high ceilings. On the other hand, if you have a small room, such as a guest bath with no natural light, brighter, lighter colors can really open up the space and make it feel much larger.Essentially, don’t be afraid of color—experiment to see what works—you may be surprised!
Painting the interior of the average two-bedroom house generally costs between $3,000 and $4,000. Most two-bedroom homes are only one story, making the job much easier and less time-consuming. That means you can expect to pay less in both labor and material costs. Additionally, most two-bedroom homes will only have one bathroom or an additional half bath, which will be much easier to paint than two or more full bathrooms.
How often your house needs repainting depends on the type of siding on your home, the climate where you live, how well you prepared for the last paint job, and the paint quality. You’ll know it’s time to repaint when you see signs like peeling or faded paint. Most homes could use a new paint job every 5 to 10 years.
Make sure you also cover your flooring with your canvas drop cloths to protect them from paint spills, and tape the drops down to the floor along the baseboards to keep them from pulling away from the walls.
