Understanding Residential Painting Services

Owning a home is one of life’s biggest and best investments a person can make in their lifetime. Like all investments, they require proper maintenance and upkeep in order to maintain their value. While there are many ways that people can improve their home over the years, one of the best ways to give a home an updated or refreshed look is through a new paint job in the interior or exterior of a home.

Interior Room Painting and Renovation Projects

There are several reasons people usually invest in a paint job for interior rooms. In each of these circumstances, the use of paint can help recreate the atmosphere of any room.

The Main Reasons People Paint Interior Rooms

·        Rooms are Being Renovated or Refurbished- When interior walls are painted, it can change the entire look and décor of a room.

·        Homeowner Wants to Change the Décor of a Room-When revamping a room with new furnishings and décor, and this is the perfect time to spruce up the walls.

·        Home is Going on the Market-Homes with a fresh coat of paint inside the primary rooms helps a home show better and sell quicker.

When looking to renovate or refurbish the interior of a home, one of the first things that is usually done is the painting of the walls and ceilings in specific rooms. This often the first consideration for redefining the look and feel of any room. Many rooms that are undergoing renovations such as kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms are also getting new carpeting, fixtures, or appliances installed. In these cases, it is important to have the painting completed first. Painting a room to match renovations creates a new and refreshed appearance that is an essential part of any renovation or refurbishing project.

Exterior Home Painting and Siding Preservation

When the exterior of a home is painted, it can significantly improve the home’s aesthetics as well as its value. In addition, the painting of the exterior of a house that has wood siding substantially improves the longevity of the wood materials of the siding. Since wood that does not have a proper coating can be subject to weathering and deterioration, it is important to help seal in the materials of wood siding through high-quality exterior paint or stain.

For homes that do not have wood siding, the use of a professional residential painter for the exterior is still often used to paint the wood trim areas around the roof, doors, and windows. These areas can also see an increase in wood deterioration from weathering if they are not adequately coated with exterior paint or wood stains.

Understanding Paint and Stain Colors and Types

Homeowners who are unsure of what colors they would like to use for their interior or exterior paint projects are encouraged to browse online home improvement sites to get some good ideas. For exact specifics, homeowners can meet with our team of highly trained professional painters to look at what types of paint materials and color options are available.

When it comes to interior paint, there are a wide variety of color choices to choose from. In addition, homeowners can choose the type of finish they want on their walls.  Making the best choices between flat paint, non-gloss paint, satin paint, semi-gloss or gloss paint as well as color choices is an essential part of the process. Your paint choices will affect the outcome of how your rooms will look and how easy they are to care for. Rooms with a semi-gloss paint finish tend to bring more light into a room than flat paint because natural light tends to reflect off the paint. Semi-gloss is also perfect for areas where the paint may need to be cleaned, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Both these rooms are often quite popular for semi-gloss paint.

When it comes to exterior paint, the two primary choices are satin sheen and flat paint unless the home is wood stained. For homes that are looking to retain a natural older style finish such as a home that was built before 1930, many homeowners choose flat paints. In contrast, houses built after 1930 often choose a satin finish to make the house look newer.

For homeowners who are looking for the best in eco-friendly paints, there are also a wide variety of choices that can be considered. Most often, these are paints that are not oil-based and have low VOC’s.  We use only top brand name paints of the highest quality so our customers can be assured their paint job will last for years.
