Is It Cheaper To Hire a Painter or Do-It-Yourself?

On the other hand, taking on the painting project yourself can potentially save you money. You’ll only need to purchase the paint and any necessary supplies, and you won’t have to pay for labor costs. However, it’s important to consider your own skill level and experience with painting. If you’re not confident in your abilities, it may result in a subpar outcome, requiring additional time and money to fix mistakes or hire a professional to redo the work. Moreover, keep in mind the size and complexity of the project. Painting a small room or a …

Selling your home or property is a whirlwind experience. When it comes to selling that exact same home that you purchased years ago, it’s an entirely new ballgame. Let in the natural light.

Painting a room’s woodwork and the trim around doors and windows opens up design potential

When painting woodwork, start at the top of the room and work down: ceiling molding, doors, windows, chair-rail moldings, then baseboards, save wear and tear on your knees when painting baseboards by wearing knee pads or by kneeling on a cushion. The edge of woodwork is sometimes curved or very narrow, less than one inch, making it difficult to paint them neatly. Vertical edges of windows and door casings not only are narrow but also are often at an angle that is difficult to reach easily with a paintbrush. Paint the Woodwork First It is sometimes a good idea to paint the woodwork before painting the walls, overlapping the walls slightly as you work on the woodwork. You find it easier to paint a straight edge along a wall than along the edges of narrow or curved woodwork. Be sure to protect freshly painted woodwork when working with a roller on walls. Before removing paint from woodwork, test the surface for old lead paint. The dust produced by sanding can carry the lead paint throughout the house, posing a serious health threat. Painting WoodworkRequires A different Technique Painting woodwork requires a slightly different technique than covering the walls and ceilings does. The sweeping motions of using a roller …

Repainting stucco

How Often Should I Repaint My Stucco?

This is a good question and unfortunately there is no clear answer. We usually recommend that people have their stucco repainted every 5-10 years or at least inspected to see if there is any chipping, fading, etc. happening. One thing to keep in mind is that some walls might see much more exposure to the sunlight, rain, wind, etc. and might need more attention than other walls around your home. In Southern California for example, the walls that are exposed to the South will usually get battered by the elements and will have most of the issues, while the walls facing North will sometimes seem untouched. Elastomeric paints from manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams are also available for direct application over stucco. These elastomeric paints cover minor stucco cracking, allow the stucco to “breath, and offer a significantly longer time between the need to repaint your stucco. They are “tintable” and resist efflorescence. How Often Should I Repaint My Stucco? Local San Diego House Painters Wnen you’re ready to paint your stucco, don’t do it alone!
