Secrets to House Painting
The most popular project for a lot of homeowners
is painting their home.A lot of homeowners enjoy doing things themselves around their house.To them, painting doesn’t seem that hard of a job.
If that is you, I would like to offer as a painter. My years of experience hopefully will help you avoid the disasters and messes that can occur when you take on a project like painting your house.
First off, you want to pick the correct type of paint and the correct paint color for your home. Sounds like this goes without saying, but a novice may not know the difference in picking paint for an exterior vs. paint for interior. Thankfully a lot of home improvement companies have helpful staff to help you out, just like my staff of my company.
Second, is preparing the paint.Surprisingly, the biggest part of your paint job is not actually doing the painting, sometimes it is the preparation.
The time you put in to really preparing will come through in a quality paint job.
So the room you are painting will need to be cleaned out.A clear and clean room makes it that much easier to do a good job of painting.
Also, you need to clean the surface when you prepare. Don’t think just because you are going to paint over everything, the paint will cover it all.A dirty wall is difficult for the paint to cover any stains or blemishes.This little tip can save you a lot of time and money because when it is clean you need less coats of paint.
A third need to have item is sandpaper. Sandpaper will allow you to smooth out any rough surfaces which will help you have a smooth coat of paint.
Fourth, a caulk gun you will need.All walls are far from perfect. It will have cracks, in the trim or the wood base.A caulking gun will cover it up and help make your surface smooth.
As you can see, these tips are all designed to help make your painting job go well.It helps get rid of the hassles associated with things being in the way. Or a fixing wall that has blemishes and would show if painted over. All designed to make your job easier.
Do all this and not only will you be pleased in the outcome but a good quality job will add value to your home.
