Choose the Right Paint for Your Project
Choosing the best paint for your home depends on how you intend to use each room. The best finishes for busy areas like hallways and kitchens are durable, washable paints. Similarly, bathrooms and laundry areas need mildew resistant products due to the amount of moisture that can create mildew.
The finish on trim, doors, and cabinets should also be harder to reduce scuff marks. Exterior projects should opt for a coating that can resist the harmful effects of sunlight, extreme temperature changes during the seasons, and moisture that comes with rainy weather.
It is also important to consider color selection; testing small samples will help you avoid misjudging the color once it has dried.
Prep Work That Makes Paint Last Longer
To create a professional appearance, it is important to prepare the area before painting. Dust and oils on your walls can prevent proper paint adhesion, so cleaning the surface first removes these contaminants and helps the paint stick evenly.
Once you patch or sand your walls, these areas become smoother and look more uniform after being painted. In addition, using a primer helps provide an even layer of paint and prevent stains from bleeding through.
When painting a gloss finish molding or trim, light sanding or using a bonding primer will help prevent peeling when painting over gloss finishes.
During exterior preparations, consider power washing all siding, scraping away loose paint, and replacing any damaged exterior moldings or trim.
Tools That Improve Coverage & Save Time
Using the correct tools can increase painting efficiency, cleanliness, and uniformity. A good paintbrush holds more paint, which produces a better finish – a more defined edge is noticeable when painting baseboards, trim, and corners.
An angled brush gives you more control for painting intricate areas such as window frames and door corners.
Roller covers come in various nap lengths, allowing you to match the nap to the texture of the surface. If you are painting large areas like a wall, you may want to use a larger roller and if you need to reach tight crevices you might consider a smaller sleeve roller.
Paint sprayers are good for quickly painting fences, decks, and other large exterior surfaces – especially when properly masked.
Other items that allow for easier handling and help keep painting areas cleaner include plastic paint trays, liners, extension poles or ladders, and drop cloths.
Caulk, Sealant & Weather Protection
Caulk and sealants not only give any project a finished appearance but also prevent gaps that may allow air, moisture, insects and dust to enter. Interior trim projects typically use latex caulk because of its ability to be painted over and cleaned with water.
Kitchen and bath areas, along with joints between exterior surfaces, need the flexibility and moisture resistance provided by silicone sealant. Hybrid sealants offer an option that combines both durability and paintability.
Sealing cracks before painting helps to achieve clean, straight paint lines and minimizes shadows that showcase imperfections on walls. Properly sealing exterior surfaces protects siding and also windows/doors from weather-related damage and temperature fluctuations.
Cleaners & Solvents for Safe Cleanup
Cleaning agents, such as cleaners and solvents, clean tool surfaces so that a project can continue uninterrupted.
Cleaning agents like degreasers remove grease and dirt from pots, pans, and cooking utensils before painting walls with oil paint.
Mineral spirits thin oil based paints and are the preferred way to clean oil based paint brushes.
There are also biodegradable and low odor options available for indoor use and to help provide a safer environment. Specialty removers clean adhesive products such as tape and glue, as well as old paint and stains, easily and safely without damaging surfaces underneath.
Wallpaper & Decorative Finishes
Wall coverings and wallpaper let customers add texture, design, and color, while standard painting only allows for color. By evening out bumps on the wall and sealing porous areas, you can eliminate bubbles and lifting corners in the wallpaper.
The newest type of wallpaper with self adhesive backing (now referred to as peel and stick) makes for fast installation and easy repositioning – a great choice for renters or those looking for seasonal updates.
Traditional paste wallpaper will give you longer lasting and stronger looking designs on a feature wall or in an entire room.
Removal supplies used with older wall covering types allow you to loosen the adhesive and lessen damage to the wall so you can replace them more easily.
