++ Inspiration + Preparation + Perspiration = Satisfaction ++

Getting inspired to paint, making your board on Pinterest, and shopping for paint swatches and supplies is the fun part. Painting your interior isn’t hard, but it does require some discipline to prepare your space properly, and a little effort to get the job done right.

DIY PAINT PRO TIP
++ Load Up the Paint++
Keep enough paint on the brush or roller to cover so you’re not dry brushing. Once an area starts to dry, leave it alone to avoid marks and color streaks.

Pro Painting DIY Tip **Paint From Top to Bottom**
Cut your edges at the ceiling using a brush and use your roller to apply paint from the top downward, so any drips or spatters are painted over as you work your way down the wall. When the wall is done, trim the bottom edge.

DIY PRO TIP - Rollers Make It Easier

With an easy-flowing premium paint and a good roller cover, the roller should do most of the work. An extension pole will let you reach the maximum amount of area with the least effort without straining your back.

Pro Tip for DIY Painting
**Use a Primer Coat**
Paint a primer coat over sanded patches and sheet rock seams to form a solid base and a super smooth finish.

Pro Tip for DIY Interior Painting
**Use Protection **

*Cover anything you don’t want painted or dusty.
*Remove outlet and switch covers and hardware. It will give you a smoother line and make painting faster.
*Cover floors, furniture, and hardware from dust from sanding and paint. Small plastic sandwich bags secured with tape are an easy way to protect doorknobs.

Pro Tip for DIY Interior Painting
**Use Quality Tools & Supplies**

* Premium paints are worth it because you get better coverage, smoother finish and greater durability.
* Pick the right finish for the application – high gloss for trims, semi-gloss or satin for high traffic areas, eggshell and flat for low traffic and high light areas.
*Good brushes and roller covers give excellent coverage, saving you time and paint.
*Make sure the “nap” of fuzziness of your roller matches the texture of your wall (more texture = fuzzier roller).
*Choose the “name brand “ painter’s tape to effectively seal out drips and blurs.

Thinking of painting your house exterior yourself? A few things you should consider first: It's a big job. The best results come when the surfaces are properly prepared and repaired. A professional quality result takes knowledge, skills, special tools, LOTS of paint, and a team of painters about 5 full days. “Weekend Warrior” mode will take you several weekends, many trips to the hardware store, possible sunburn or injury, and less than the desired result.

Wouldn't you rather be... anywhere else on a hot summer afternoon? Take the pain out of painting and give us a call at (203) 288-8203.
