3 Crucial House Painting Rules

1. Prep Your Home for Painting

If you subscribe to the adage, “failing to plan is planning to fail,” this rule will speak to you. Not prepping your interior or exterior surfaces will result in paint that bubbles and flakes, which is a waste of your time and investment. If you’re interested in exterior painting, pressure washing is a great way to remove grime and dirt before the professionals arrive. Follow up with a scraper to remove any flaking paint or stuck-on debris. If you’ve scheduled interior painting services, fill in any dents or holes that could affect the process. The smooth surfaces will allow your team of painters to apply an even coat, giving your home a fresh, polished look. 

2. Avoid Lead Paint

The dangers of lead-based paint have come to light in recent years. The toxic chemical can lead to a series of health issues, especially in young children. T.K. Painting & Decorating LLC only uses EPA-approved paint, so you can rest assured your paint job is safe for your family and the environment.

3. Choose Color Wisely

Painting your home is like dyeing your hair—if you’re going to do it, be prepared to live with the new look for a while. Therefore, it’s imperative to make a well-informed decision about the hue. T.K. Painting & Decorating, LLC provides color consulting services, so you can determine what shade will be best for the interior or exterior of your home.
