DIY tips to paint like a pro! Painting a room, or multiple rooms, in your home can be a daunting task.  Most people opt to hire a professional to do the job.  However, hiring a professional is not always necessary.  If you are considering painting the interior of your home on your own, this article is for you.  Below we will discuss some DIY tips to paint like a pro. Prepare the walls for painting Before beginning your paint job, be sure to prepare your walls for the paint beforehand.  You can do this by cleaning the walls thoroughly and allowing them time to dry.  Also, inspect the walls for any holes or other repairs and make the repairs before painting as well.  Paint typically sticks better to a clean surface, so be sure to clean the walls as best as you can.

Preparing the Exterior Surface for Painting Here’s the step-by-step process for proper surface preparation which gives you the best results and a longer lasting paint job. 1. Power Wash The Surface A power washer is the best way to eliminate dirt and peeling/flaking paint from most types of siding. (Do not power wash stucco since it can destroy the surface in seconds.) Keep the spray wand at least 12 in. from the siding to prevent surface gouging. Don’t spray up under the siding flaps. Don’t use it to clean windows: it will break the glass. Always wear eye protection; never spray on a windy day. For the cleanest surface, use a good cleaning agent with the power washer, such as TSP or an all-purpose cleaner. Once the cleaning agent has been

Giving your home a fresh coat of paint is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to revamp your space and get a whole new look. That is unless you're doing it all wrong.

Painting is a home improvement project that seems made for Autumn. A fresh coat of paint or a new colour scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the Autumn, when you can keep the windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out. But interior painting isn't the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperature-sensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 5C. Paint that freezes won't dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their

Most people look online and in the papers for potential new home, so the pictures and the price are a real eye catcher. The right colour of paint can bring in the buyers!

There are many factors that go into making your home more appealing, which is especially important if you’re trying to sell it. Most people selling a home need to make some changes to the interior in order to increase the value of the property. That usually involves fixing up the kitchen and bathrooms with fixtures and fittings, important rooms buyers always look at, as well as adding a fresh coat of paint here or there to spruce up the room. What many sellers don't realize is that buyers will often make a decision on a property before even setting foot inside a house, which is why curb appeal is so important.   Fresh coat of paint One way to increase the appeal of your home, and add value in the process, is to use exterior paint in a way that makes your house look a few years younger.

Whether the paint is peeling or you just want to change your home’s look, a fresh coat of paint can make a dramatic difference. Colour can be used to create a mood and evoke an emotional response. Certain colours can energize – think red, orange and yellow – while others can be calming – blues, greens and purples. Neutral colours like white convey simplicity and cleanliness. But before the first brush is dipped into the paint can, make sure to prep the surfaces. On the exterior, peeling or chipped paint needs to be scraped away and bare wood needs to be primed. Inside, walls need to be cleaned and trim taped off. PREPARE THE SURFACE BEFORE PAINTING Take time to caulk all joints, cracks and seams in the surface before painting. Before painting windows, check around the window panes for loose or missing putty. Replace the putty in these areas
