Josh, some great work on the renovation, it’s come up really nicely! It’s good to see you stressing the importance of not taking short cuts when it comes to prepping and removing wallpaper. It definitely does lead to more problems down the road when done incorrectly. However there is a caveat on that. If the wallpaper is in good condition and you have primed it properly, you can get away with painting over wallpaper. On a few jobs where the client has been on a tight budget, we have used an oil based primer to really seal the adhesive and keep then moisture from the paint away. Has worked well and we haven’t got any call backs. But I’d still agree with you and always push for stripping back wallpaper where possible. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure as the saying goes. Also, would love to see how your painted popcorn ceilings came up. We call it ‘vermiculite’. Its quite old school and we come across it in school jobs and old buildings occasionally. Jake Beals May 09, 2020
From square footage to room ceiling height, we’ll cover the most important aspects of average interior painting costs. Improovy’s painting industry experts created this handy paint cost guide to help take the guesswork out of painting your place.
In total, you can expect to spend about $1,296 on the equipment and materials needed to paint the exterior of a home with 2,000 square feet of paintable area. If you use a more expensive paint, like one with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish, your overall DIY cost will rise significantly. The cost will also increase if you have a larger home.
Setting and filling nail holes is another task that will typically be included in an exterior painting project but must be written in if you expect it to be done.

It can be! If you have the skillset to get the job done right, offer good customer service, and are strategic, then starting a painting business can be a great investment in your future.
Not all paints are created equal though- different types of paints have different drying times. For oil based paints, let the walls dry for at least 24-hours before re-applying. However, if you are using a latex based paint you can begin your second coat in 4-6 hours.
An experienced painter may have a few larger tools and own what appears to be a professional paint van/truck.
