Your are looking to paint your home in the upcoming new year and are wondering if you can do the job yourself or do you need to hire a professional painting service to come in and do the painting for you. Hiring professional painting services might seem a lot more expensive than a DIY painting but considering the following things might make you change your mind in the long run.
Choosing the Right Paint to use?
The choice of paint to use whether you are painting an interior wall in your home or the exterior of your house becomes crucial. There are a lot of products on the market today so choosing what type of paint will work best for your paint job is not as easy as it seems. Finding the right product you have to determine if you are paying for the brand name or the quality of paint.
For interior painting, you need to decide first things like what type of sheen you want for your walls or the type of material you are putting the paint onto and what will adhere best. For instance, any previously painted drywall, the best solution is to use a stain-blocking primer to cover all and any marks or blotches and then finish the paint job off with a good quality acrylic paint.
Picking the Right Color
Ok, this step might sound simple but did you know that picking the right color of paint can make a room look smaller or bigger? Or change the mood of the room by just it’s color? So when you are choosing what color of paint a couple of suggestions would be to look at other paint jobs in magazines or on the web to see the result the color had on the room. Trying out a small sample on the wall to give you an idea of what the wall will look like with the color when done. Even the choice of picking flat texture paint, semi-gloss or glossy can make a huge impact on the overall look of the room.
Room Prepping
Things will go a lot smoother with your paint jobs when you first do all the room prepping that needs to be done. Things like removing all furniture and anything you don’t want someone to accidentally trip into while holding a paint can or having expensive possessions get paint drippings. So making sure the room is emptied from clutter is your first step. The second step of prepping is to make sure that all walls have been washed down. Walls can have a build up of dirt, dust, and oils from your hands that you might not be able to see with the naked eye. Wiping down walls will ensure that your paint adheres properly to the surface.
How much Paint Will You Need
There is nothing more frustrating than buying too little or too much paint that you require for your paint job, so figuring out what amount you need is essential so that you don’t waste time or money.
