Paint Projects That Won't Strip Your Wallet

Painting your house or even a single room used to mean major purchases or hiring a professional even more expensive. But today, doing the job yourself may be the best, most economical option. And do-it-yourselfers know, renting tools and equipment can save big money, especially when you rent from us. We'll supply you with the tools you need to scrape it off, spray it on,or add another coat.

Check out these handy painting tips:

• Exterior painting should start with a good power washing, followed by scraping, sanding, filling low areas with an exterior surface compound, caulking all joints and priming.

• Spring is the best time of the year to buy exterior paint since it's generally when retailers offer special prices. 

• Priming bare wood or metal is essential prior to painting. Otherwise, the top coats won't stick properly. 

• Don't try painting if rain is threatening. Water will wash off wet latex and mere dampness will weaken the bond of oil/alkyd paints. 

• When painting indoors, paint the ceiling first, then the walls. 

• And be sure to cover everything you can't remove from the room to avoid problems with paint splatters.
  

Instead of purchasing expensive painting equipment for one-time use, look into renting.
