Painting and Decorating

A freshly painted wall may often look blotchy. The colour is the same all over, but the sheen isn't consistent. This usually occurs over cracks and holes you had patched with a filler. The fillers absorb the paint, making the surface look dull. When light hits these dull spots, they stick out like a sore thumb. A coat of primer is all it takes to eliminate the texture differences. Primer seals the patch so paint won't sink in and look dull. To match texture, prime with a roller, feathering out the edges. Choose a nap thickness to match the surrounding wall texture. If you’ve filled your wall previously and do not want to go through all the trouble of primer and the dull spot at the end, call in the professionals! We are a trusted Enfield based painting and decorating company with over 30 years experience. If you

Painting a home seems like a simple task: You choose a colour and start - but beyond colour, you’ll need to think about chemicals, environmental factors and sheen. If you’re painting a high-traffic area such as a hallway, it’s best to stick with a flat sheen. It’s easy to keep whatever is left in the tin on hand, and you can touch it up and blend it right in.   The paint job will look better and you’ll save money in the long run if you spend a little more to buy decent gear. If you’re going to paint at all, don’t buy the cheapest roller and brush. It will look better if you have quality equipment. If you have a bigger paint tray, you’ll spend less time filling it up. If you have a sturdier roller, you’ll spend less energy squeezing it out because it acts like a

Chipped paint? Sad looking windows? Rain-damaged panels? It may be time to invest in a little exterior painting to liven up the look of the outside of your home.   Slapping on some new, brightly coloured paint to your house exterior can add immediate appeal and value, as well as protection from the rain and other weathering. If your exterior has rotting wood or deteriorated window trim you need to replace it before the painting process begins. It’s better to spend a little extra time and money to fix problems that could get worse and cost more in the long run, and get full value out of the improvement. Your best bet in choosing colour is picking one similar to what you already have. This is an advantage as you will not have to apply too many coats to the exterior, therefore saving you money. If you plan on

Bold front doors are bursting onto the home scene. Bright colours are here to make a statement, and even homeowners in more traditional areas are embracing the trend. Painting a front door is like picking a necklace to go with your outfit. Bold colours show an adventurous side and give off that there is excitement within! The colour of your door can affect the feeling a visitor towards entering your house. This could be calmness, excitement, or possibly even fear (with a bad paint job!) If you want to paint your front door a bright colour, take the finish down a notch and opt for satin exterior paint. Consider your area’s style. You can be the first on the cul-de-sac to do something bold, but ask for input from your association if you have one.   If you would like a trusted professional to help you get the job done, call

The kids have left home and they've left a whole in your home. This doesn't have to be a time of mourning - your children may have flown the nest, but their old room could be your new project! The money you save on food shopping, phone bills and cleaning products can be used to turn their old room in to a luxury getaway. This new room can be used for many new things including a hobbies room (whatever tickles your fancy), a state of the art games room, a new spare bedroom, or your walk in wardrobe (ladies!) Thing of all the colours and decor you can now experiment with, without someone saying in your ear 'but that colour is boring!' or 'That's ugly!' Your new safe haven can be the room you've always wanted. If you have an idea in mind, and just need a professional to

It’s nuts how simply applying a few coats of paint can update the look of a room so quickly! With many colours to choose from DIY improvements become relatively easy, painting can quickly and cheaply give your space an instant pick me up. Before you dip your brush to paint, make sure you have done all the prep work! If you don’t remove the dirt and other debris from your walls, all your hard work painting will not pay off. It’s tempting to buy the cheapest paint -  but if you’re buying paint solely based on price, you may end up spending more in the long run. Cheaper paint may require more coats of paint and a lot more work! Try do get a paint which includes it’s own primer. It may sound like a common sense tip but with a lot of your things moved around and a

Kitchen and bathroom renovations often offer the highest rate of return in the home, but you don’t need a total overhaul to make these rooms look more attractive. Old plumbing fixtures can make a room feel dated. By merely replacing faucets and knobs you can make the kitchen feel more modern for the cost of a few hundred dollars. Of course, you can replace more than just the plumbing fixtures. Door knobs, light switch plates, wall outlet covers and light fixtures can also be updated to give your home a fresh look. If your home is on the smaller side, you’ll want to improve your storage options to make the place feel more spacious. To start with, if you haven’t moved out yet, don’t let your own clutter make the place feel cramped. House hunters will want to see what their storage options are before they

When it comes to home improvement, painting is one of easiest and inexpensive ways to dramatically change the look of a room. Yet, there are many factors that can influence how your project will turn out. When reviewing a contract for painting, it should include the following things; - How much the job is going to be - How many coats of paint it will include - What type of prep work will be done - What type of products will be used The reason why you may have someone that's great at painting and they can make a wall look great, but if the under laying surface hasn't been prepped you may see imperfections, there may be problems with the adhesion's. Certain things not addressed prior to painting make a really good paint job not last and it could also make a paint job look really shoddy. A lot of times people
