Here we go. It’s time to paint your walls, again. This is the fifth time you ‘ve painted this year and by now you’re an expert, right? Nope. Not even those crazy enough to paint five times in a year know exactly what they’re doing. Painting the interior and exterior of your house and getting the clean, ‘new house look’ you and your family are looking for isn’t as easy it may seem.
Paint Meet Surface. Are You Compatible?
While choosing the right paint for your interior walls may be a simpler task than your houses exterior, it’s still never easy. Painting the trim, wainscoting, doors, cabinets, ceiling and garage walls all may call for a specific type of paint. Prepping these areas—sanding, cleaning and taping—all take time, specific materials and a knowledge base that you and your friends you’ve recruited for this job may not have. While a few coats of paint are one of the quickest ways to revitalize your house’s appearance, it’s also a sure fire way to change its personality—for the worse. Choosing the wrong paint or paint color could be disastrous and can be easily avoided with enlisting a little professional help. If you’re looking to do some residential painting in San Antonio, do yourself a favor and research what it’d cost for a professional to take care of the job before you take it on yourself.
Popcorn Ceilings, Wallpaper And Stucco Oh My!
Popcorn ceilings were once a popular choice for homes and businesses. For what reason still remains a mystery to some of the most brilliant minds of this generation. Removing these unsightly additions to your home’s ceilings seems simple enough. If you have the time to take a sample of the ceiling and send it in to test for asbestos, and then take the time to remove your furniture, spray down your ceilings with water and then scrape off the popcorn into a trough, than yeah, it’s pretty simple. Popcorn ceilings and wallpaper should be removed before wall painting because these jobs can get pretty messy. Wallpaper removal is notoriously time consuming and tricky. For these jobs and big exterior jobs that call for a paint sprayer, such as painting stucco, calling in a residential painting professional is recommended. If you’re looking to do residential painting in San Antonio, now is a great time to find a local professional!
