Why Summer is the Ideal Time to Paint Inside
With longer days, it means more sunshine floods your home with natural light. Why is that important? Because, with more light, you are able to see the brushstrokes as you paint, which leads to a better finish.
The Color of Cool
Lighter colors, such as lighter blues, bring to mind cooler temperatures and a calming atmosphere. Numerous studies have shown that “cooler” colors put you in a cooler state of mind. Theme parks in Florida paint the exteriors of their buildings in blues and whites to make their guests feel cooler; the same concept can work for your home’s interior.
What You Need to Get Started
Regardless of whether you plan on painting your home’s interior yourself or you hire us to paint your home’s interior, there are a few things you will need to do in order to prepare.
Make Space
Move furniture and curtains away from the walls so that you ensure that they won’t become the same new hue as the interior of your home. Remove anything attached to the wall that isn’t permanent, such as shelves, paintings, family photos, diplomas, or any other treasured items that may be hanging in the room.
Clean Up
If your walls are dusty or have grime or mold on them, then a new coat of paint won’t adhere well. Thoroughly clean your walls before painting them to ensure they make optimum contact. When you are done painting, it will help ensure the coat has a smooth and even finish.
Fix Any Holes
If there are any small holes in your wall, be sure to patch them with spackling paste or joint compounds and give them time to cure before you start your project. We recommend that you leave this task to us. It takes a qualified professional painting service to ensure that the holes in your wall are repaired the right way.
Why You Should Leave Painting to the Professionals
While it can be satisfying to take on a project like painting your dining room or kitchen, there are too many variables that you aren’t prepared to deal with. Our painting technicians have the experience and training to deal with a variety of challenges that the average homeowner isn’t prepared to deal with. From using the right kind of paint to applying it with the correct brushes, we know how to get the job done right.
