The cold winter months are a great time for indoor renovation projects like painting, giving your home the opportunity to start fresh in the spring. Unfortunately, painting can be a lot more involved and difficult than most people realize, which is why the expert crew of painters from Bill’s Painting are so helpful.

With over 35 years worth of experience and a reputation for leaving homes immaculate and perfectly painted, these Cincinnati, OH, painters understand what it takes to transform your interior walls. Today, their experts offer three tips for painting indoors so you can make your home feel like new again.

Invest Time Preparing For The Job

Although you may be tempted to jump right in with that paint can and new set of rollers, invest some time in preparing for the job. Take the time to tape off the edges of your project, covering baseboards and hardware elements. Cover your flooring with canvas drop cloths, which are heavier than plastic and less likely to move during painting. Last but not least, do what the painters at Bill’s Painting do and wash all of your walls carefully before you begin. This will help the paint will adhere better.

Tint The Primer

If you want to make it easier to cover that coat of primer, tint the primer with a cup or two of your paint color of choice. Doing this helps in two ways. First, any thin areas of paint won’t be as obvious because the primer is a similar color. Second, it keeps wall stains from shining through.

Master The Cut In

For a crisp, professional look, use a smaller paint brush to “cut in” the edges of the walls. To keep paint from migrating, use a wide drywall knife as a paint guard while you paint areas near corners and ceilings.
