Painting Anyone?

There are a few easy steps to make a home painting job as pain free as possible. Follow these simple rules to make the job faster.
• Get Your Room Ready - Try to clear out the room as much as possible. If you can’t remove all furniture, move it away from the walls towards the center and cover items with a drop cloth or plastic.
• Prep Time is Saved Time - Try to fill in any holes in the walls with a joint compound and wipe off your woodwork. Use primer on all colored surfaces, to ensure fewer coats in the future.
• Ceilings First - Take care of your ceiling with a flat paint. Do the edges with a brush or edger and move on to a roller for the interior. Allow ample time for drying before going on to the walls or trim.
• Walls Next - Put at least two coats of paint on your walls for optimal coverage. The first coat should be a good base and the second will even out the surface.
• Save the Trim for Last - Don’t forget those windows, molding and doors. The woodwork needs to be tackled last to ensure proper detailing. Use a brush and painter’s tape, if needed, so that your finishing touches complement your décor.
