Two of the services I offer through my business are paint consultations and actual painting.
Did you know that paint is the single most affordable way to add value to a home?
But it has to be done correctly.
Did you know that paint is the single most affordable way to add value to a home?
But it has to be done correctly.
Here are some general tips for painting:
Always cover flooring, furniture, and anything else you won't want paint to splatter. It's easier and cheaper to lay down plastic or cloth than it is to clean up paint splatter.
Don't wear jewelry.
Wear old clothes and shoes.
Wear latex or neoprene gloves.
If you have long hair, wear a hat or pull it up.
You can cover a wet brush/roller with a plastic bag (grocery store bags work well) to keep the paint from hardening between coats. It will stay wet in the fridge for a couple of days.
Clean brushes right away, but do it in a utility sink. Mineral spirits and acetone-based paint removers can corrode plumbing, drains, and sinks.
Use a ladder. Yes, they're cumbersome to carry around and set up, but if you'll do a better job and put less strain on your back, why not use one?
