Paint is the easiest way to transform a room! Qualified painters are more than strangers in your home with a handy brush, roller and a contract. When you schedule a project with a reliable business, they have all-inclusive knowledge about the paint, from prepping the rooms to maintaining quality work for a paid length of time. Knowing the difference between professional painters and general labor crew mistakes can save you time and money –and a job well done. 

Prep work is the most significant part of any paint job. Expert painters put a lot of their time and sharp eye into preparing the project. It includes cleaning and drying surfaces to make sure the paint will hold properly. They also protect the surrounding areas from damage by covering it with drop cloths or removing objects you don’t want painted by mistake. You'll thank them for this quick step later when you're not scrubbing paint splatter off your hardwood floors. Also, professionals know the right tools to tackle the job. They use superior materials over cheap ones to guarantee their labor lasts until you choose to repaint again if you want to upgrade/remodel or sell your property. 

When it’s time to punch out, this includes cleaning up and touching up the work zone. Someone will conduct a walk through with you, matching the capacity of work to the work completed. This step demonstrates the pride in the finished result and avoids any legal matters. 

What are some common mistakes that can happen on the clock? Or made by you? Improper preparation is a big one! When it comes to painting, you want to start with a clean slate. Wash your walls and all repair work (sanding any patches) is done before applying primer or paint. To be applied smoothly, the walls should be dry and free of any loose debris. Attention to detail is what separates a professional paint job from amateur or handyman mistakes. For clean lines and great results, don’t skip the painters tape. Taping ensures that you’ll have clean edges you desire. Double check to make sure the tape is sealed tightly around the baseboards, windows and molding of the room. When it’s time to get started, primer is the first and key step. Primer makes the beautiful paint go on much easier, and the true color of the paint will be represented on the walls. When shopping at most stores, you can even buy a 2-in-1 paint and primer –it doesn’t get much easier than that. Also, nobody wants to run out of paint in the middle of the project, so be sure you have enough paint on hand. 

Lastly, you can ruin your entire paint job by not allowing enough time for the first layer of paint to dry before adding a second coat. If you are not sure, wait a full 24 hours. Remember, if you want a paint job done right, contact a local painting service that will work with you every step of the way and create excellent, high-quality results.
