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, look into renting.
