We have put together a few tips to help those who are preparing to tackle their own painting project.

Prep Work: One of the most important steps in painting is the prep work. Removing flaking or peeling paint, properly sanding the surfaces, and cleaning all areas with a damp cloth will help ensure the best possible results. We also recommend that you check all surfaces for any holes or cracks that need to be filled in with spackle or caulking, as this can make a big difference in the end.

Primer: Adding a primer before painting is essential to help ensure the paint will properly adhere to the surface. Primer also helps reduce the amount of potential stains and blemishes that may affect the overall finished product.

Choosing Colors: The color you choose is important to the finished look and feel of your room. Make sure you take your time to choose the perfect color that matches the décor of your home.

Start in corners and edges: When starting your project, it is important that you start by painting the corners of the wall and ceiling first. This way, you can build up the paint and ensure there are no gaps or lines when painting the edges.

Quality Supplies: When purchasing your painting supplies, always choose the highest quality paints and brushes that you can afford. Cheap supplies may seem like a great way to save money, but you will get the best results from using top quality supplies.

Roller vs. Brush: The type of painting technique you use is also important. For large brushstrokes, you can use a roller for a faster finish; for more precise finishes, a paint brush is more precise and allows you to get better coverage when painting.

These are just a few tips to keep in mind when it comes to painting your home.
