RESIDENTIAL Painting
Looking for a Painting Contractor
You Can Trust?
Your home is probably the largest single investment you’ll make in your lifetime. Keeping it maintained properly is important to keep it looking good, functioning well, and retaining its value. Part of that maintenance includes regular painting, both inside and out.
Is Painting Your Home a DIY Project?
You may not think that painting is that difficult and try to paint your house yourself, or ask some friends or family members to help out. Or you may decide to hire some college kid on break wanting to make a few extra bucks. However, you might want to rethink that decision.
It takes more than a can of paint and a few brushes to get quality results. Proper prep is mandatory if you want a smooth surface. Knowing which brush or roller to use can make a huge difference. Clean-up is a hassle. And what happens if someone gets hurt on the job or your possessions are damaged? You may actually save money in the long run by hiring a professional painting contractor. You will definitely have less stress and better results.

Hire a Local Trusted Painting Contractor
It’s also a good idea to hire a reputable professional painting contractor to get the best results. Hiring a business that lives, hires, and operates locally can help the regional economy. An established company will be there if you have questions or experience problems.
The painting contractor you hire should have experienced and trained painters who are all licensed and bonded. They should have positive reviews and be able to provide references.
You should also check review sites, like Angie’s List, Yelp, and others to see the company’s ratings and what prior customers have to say. The company should have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau. Membership in a professional organization like the Painting Contractors Association ensures you’re hiring a contractor who maintains their high standards and code of ethics.
Many Great Reasons to Paint
There are several signs that indicate that your home could use a new coat of paint. Is the paint peeling, fading or cracking? Are you thinking about putting your home on the market? Maybe you’re just tired of the same color scheme. Whatever the reason, a freshly painted house will definitely improve its aesthetic appeal.
Times change and so do trends for paint colors. Did you know that grey is the new beige? Different colors can have varied effects on moods, so choose a shade that matches the vibe you want in your room.
You Don’t Need to Paint Everything All at Once
If your budget won’t allow you to splurge and get your entire house painted, you can break the job down into smaller chunks. For example, get the guest room painted before the overnight company arrives. Have the first floor painted before you throw a party. Have your teenager’s room updated to get rid of the “baby-ish” decor.
Maybe you don’t even need to paint the entire wall to spruce up the room. You may be able to get by for a while longer with proper cleaning. Or a few little paint touch-ups might do the trick.

Try Something Different
Are you tired of the same old colors in your home? Do you want to try new designs and looks? Is your kitchen drab and dull? There are many ways to spruce up your home with some innovative ideas.
Colors can impact your mood, so you need to choose the right colors for the intended effect. For example, you don’t want to paint a bedroom red because it’s a color that generates feelings of energy and creativity. Softer shades of blues would be a better option to induce calmness and serenity.

Painting Rooms to Match their Purpose
Not every room or area in a home should be painted with the same colors, scheme, or paint type. For example, kitchens and bathrooms are areas that are often used with lots of moisture generated, so the type of paint should be able to withstand the conditions.
You’ll also want to consider the colors that produce the mood you want in the room. For example, it’s not recommended to paint a bedroom red because it generates emotions of alertness and excitement. Calming and relaxing paint colors create a more serene environment that is conducive to sleep and relaxation.

Exterior Painting for Curb Appeal
The exterior of your home creates a first impression. Visitors and passersby will form an opinion on the color of it, the quality of the paint job, and whether it’s peeling or flaking. Home exteriors can be made from different materials, like wood, aluminum, vinyl, fiber cement, and others. Each surface type requires different methods and products to achieve the best results.

Walls Aren’t the Only Surface to Benefit from a New Coat of Paint
Most people automatically assume a paint project refers to a new paint job on the interior or exterior walls of a home. There are many other items that can be painted to update the look.
You may think you can check Pinterest and find out how to paint these surfaces yourself, but it’s not as cut-and-dry as they let on. Unlike plaster and drywall, these different surfaces and finishes require specific preparation and the right type of coatings to produce beautiful, long-lasting results. A professional painting contractor knows the proper techniques, paint products, and materials to use for each specific surface.
Cabinet Painting
Why go to the expense of replacing your kitchen or bathroom cabinets when a fresh paint job will make them look new? Painting cabinets is a job you should leave to the professionals. They are made from different materials, like wood, fiberboard, and other types of materials, each requiring their own special process and application.
If you want your repainted cabinets to look smooth and last for years, hire a professional who specializes in cabinet painting. You’ll get a new look without paying exorbitant prices.

Ceiling Painting
Painting ceilings does not need to be done as often as the walls in your home. However, when you notice spots, discoloration, or chips on the ceiling, it’s time to paint them. Painting ceilings takes more equipment than other types of painting. Ladders, roller extensions, lots of drop cloths, and sometimes even scaffolding if the ceilings are extra tall.

Using the Right Products and Techniques
Painting is more than just buying a can of paint and a brush and slapping it on a wall. Experienced professional painters are trained in the proper techniques of painting. They know that prep is the most important step in ensuring high-quality results.
The Brand and Type of Paint Makes a Big Difference
There are different brands, types, and finishes of paint available. They won’t all work in every situation. Exterior paint should not be used on the interior and vice versa.

Don’t Skimp on the Equipment
You need the right tools for the job. A cheap brush will leave stroke marks and brush hairs in the paint. The wrong roller might hold too much paint and make a globby mess. Using inferior paint will give you inferior results.
Some FAQs
You may have some questions about your new paint job, like what to do with leftover paint. If you were smart enough to buy high quality paint, you don’t want to just pitch it in case there are touch ups needed later on. Is the residual smell of the paint still there days later? These questions can be answered by an experienced professional painting contractor.
