Yes! Good point Jenn, wrapping the brushed does help so much. Do you watch shark tank? Those guys made the paint brush saver containers, that was such a good idea.
Wow what a huge project to take on! My sister just bought a house and will likely be doing something like this (painting most or all of it) before she moves in…I’ll definitely be sharing this with her! Jeanine February 25, 2015

Some hours are more difficult to paint than others. For instance, older, taller houses are delicate to paint, which is why it would be best to leave them to professional painters.

• Mostly walls or woodwork? A roller makes quick work of unobstructed walls. Rooms with wide baseboards, elaborate window casings and cornice molding at the ceiling demand more time and effort. A lot of trim means a lot of brushwork — even more so if the job includes cabinets and shelves — and edges into the realm of professionals.
• House built before the 1978 lead paint ban? If so, you'll probably want a lead-paint-certified pro to properly seal off rooms and do required testing and cleanup to minimize exposure. (These may sound like expensive tasks, but they're usually not.)
Have several reputable contractors inspect the job and provide proposals. You will probably find huge price differences for the same job.
Having completed training in lead-safe practices as required under the EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, Drew is a certified lead-safe renovator. Under this rule, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
My house was a 70s build, and almost completely wallpapered with a lot of the wallpaper painted over, which definitely didn’t help in removing it all! I also had a slightly different problem with removing wallpaper – the previous owners had used vinyl wallpaper, which when steamed stretched a lot rather than scraping off easily. It was easier to just score and scrape or peel off the paper dry, and later steam off any papery bits that were left on the wall.

The cost to paint a door can range from $38 per side of simple doors to $134 per side for complicated multi-paned french doors.
Normally, dining rooms are small or medium-sized rooms with less furniture to move, making for an easier and cheaper painting job. You can expect to pay $380 – $675 to paint a dining room.

For exterior painting jobs, you may have to deal with a few repairs beforehand. For older homes, damaged siding can make or break a painting project. Whether you have a small crack or a large gaping hole, it's important to have a professional deal with it before you begin painting. Most siding contractors will charge between $40 and $75 per hour to repair house siding.
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.
