Is it hard to paint over a wall with a texture surface?

We recently purchase a home 3 yrs agao. the builder sprayed a white texture on all the wall. is it hard to paint over it?Is it hard to paint over a wall with a texture surface?
It is more difficult than painting a flat wall, but they make special deep nap rollers just for that purpose.


Like any painting job, you will need to use a brush for trim and corners.


You can also use a sprayer instead of a roller...Is it hard to paint over a wall with a texture surface?
it depends on the type of texture if it a popcorn texture then yes it going to suck to paint that if it is not that kind of text more flat kind but riged then not but takes more coughts
Lightly run your hand across the wall and if any of the texture becomes dislodged then painting over it with a roller and brushes will be a pain. Most likely a wall texture is ';knock down'; and thus will not come off when brushed by the hand, furniture or occupants. I recommend using a 3/4'; nap roller cover to paint the walls.
no, do it with a fake sheepskin type roller..thick so it will go between the non textured parts.
If the builder sprayed texture on all of the walls in your home, and you want to repaint all of the walls, I would highly recommend purchasing a small paint sprayer. The time and effort you will save will be astounding. However, if you're only doing a few walls, then purchase some 9'; x 1 1/4'; nap Rollers, (these are especially made for textured walls).
No it's not hard, just go to your Home Depot or Loews and they sell rollers especially for painting over textured walls.
If you want to get rid of the texture you can use a 4 inch putty knife to scrape away the major portion of it to give a less defined testure and then use a large nape paint roller to paint it. If you want to keep the texture it will take alot of work painting it.
