Professional Painting Tips and Tricks

We love helping our customers transform their homes and businesses with paint. And since we know all about painting, we thought we’d share a few of our favorite tips and tricks from our years working in the industry. If you’re a DIYer, interior designer, or simply someone who cares about design, these professional painting tips are for you!

Tip # 1: Calculate Before You Buy

Calculating how much paint you need before buying is essential for saving time and money. One, it helps you avoid purchasing more paint than you need, saving you money and reducing waste. Two, it ensures that you have enough paint to complete your project, thereby avoiding the need for multiple trips to the store and potential color variations between batches of paint.

And three, by knowing the exact amount of paint you require, you can accurately estimate the time and labor needed to complete your painting project. This may be the deciding factor between completing the paint project yourself or hiring paint professionals.

Tip # 2: Paint Samples Save You Money

Buying paint samples may seem like an extra expense, but they can actually save you money in the long run. Often, you can fall in love with a paint color on a sample card, but that color can look very different in your space. What if you’ve bought three gallons of paint of that too bright, too yellow, or just too pale color? Well, you can stick with that color or try to get your money back.

Or you can buy a few paint samples. Pick a few shades you like, brush a few strokes on the walls you plan to paint, and see what you like best. Paint colors can change as they dry and appear differently in various lighting, so make sure to take that into account. Though you may be out a few dollars on a few samples, you’ll save hundreds when you only purchase paint once instead of twice!

Tip # 3: Consider Hiring Professional Painters

Painting a room or an entire house may seem fast and easy, but if you’re doing it alone, you may quickly learn it can be quite the opposite! When you hire professional painters, you can rest assured.

Local paint professionals typically:

• Provide accurate measurements so you can purchase the right amount of paint
• Handle all the prep work and clean up
• Offer color and finish advice
• Ensure quality results and insure the project for anything unexpected
• Repair minor wall damage before painting
• Wallpaper surfaces in addition to professional painting services

Before starting any paint project, consider what time, energy, and funds you can invest in the project. This can help you decide whether you want to tackle the project yourself or hire professionals.
