paintIf you're unsure where to begin, or if you just want to know the best way to go about painting a room, here are 4 tips to help you get going:

  • Prep Your Surface: In order to ensure a professional looking paint job, you first have to make sure that your wall is in the best condition possible. Even the best paint won't cover up cracks, so you should make sure everything is smooth and level before deciding to put on a fresh coat. Cleaning the wall to remove excess oil and dirt is also a good idea.
  • Tape It Off: To keep your paint job uniform, you'll want to use tape to cover your trim, windows, and doors. You should also make sure to protect your floors with plastic, canvas, or newspaper.
  • Prime The Walls: Priming your walls is necessary any time you're painting new drywall or going over a particularly dark color. Not only will it help your paint look more uniform, but it will increase paint adhesion, which will reduce peeling and keep stains from bleeding through over time.
  • Work Efficiently: If you're painting a large area, you want to work efficiently. One of the best ways to do this is by using the W-technique. Start in the corner of a wall and roll paint in a W shape, then fill it in without lifting the roller. Consider using a brush for areas that are harder to fill in.
