How to Prepare a Room to Be Painted - Part I

House painting is a big deal, especially when you have paid for painting services to have a room inside your home painted a different color. You can't just leave everything in the room as is if you expect it all to stay in good shape so it is important to take certain steps in making sure that your room is ready to be painted.

There is always a chance that you will be provided with a list of things to do in order to prepare for the painting services but if you want to cover all of your bases, you will want to keep the following things in consideration.

Move and Cover Your Furniture

If you can move your furniture and decorative items out of the room altogether it would be your best bet, however this is usually not possible. Instead you can move all of the furniture into the middle of the room, stacking stuff if need be, and then cover it all up with sheets or painting covers.

In reality you can cover your furniture with anything you want to use as long as it will protect it all from accidentally getting splashed during the house painting job. Visit a local hardware store in order to find affordable coverings for this purpose.

Protect Your Floor and Outlets

You will want to put throw sheets or covers on the floor around the room to protect it from paint, and you will also want to tape all of the edges of the room, against the wall, to make sure that when the bottom half of the walls are painted nothing can possibly get onto the floor.

You also need to tape up all of your outlets unless you want them to get clogged up with paint and become unusable. When taping, be as accurate as possible if you want to avoid any paint at all getting anywhere but on the walls. If you aren't painting the ceiling, it's a good idea to tape the ceiling along the edges of the wall as well.

Patch Any Knicks or Holes

It is important to make sure that your walls are totally flush if you want to get the best look from the painting services you invest in. You can putty and plaster any small holes (even big nail holes from your hung paintings and pictures should be covered up) in order to make them flush with the rest of the wall.

You should also sand any little nicks or other flaws on the wall before they are painted in order to get a uniform look and feel for your room. Don't be afraid to use a pencil to mark all the blemishes on the walls that need your attention before they are painted.

Factors to Consider Before Painting Your Home

Are you planning to paint your home? Whether you're planning to paint the interior, exterior, or both, it's important to consider several factors. Typically you'll need to repaint your home's interior or exterior every three or four years. Before you actually start the house painting process, here are some important issues to consider:

1. A company's reliability


Before choosing a particular painting company, it's important to shop around for a reliable one. There are several factors to consider. How long has the company been operating? How many complaints have past customers filed against it? Does the company have its own painters, or does it hire contractors? Is the company fully licensed, bonded, and insured? These are all important issues to consider before choosing a reliable painting company. Another effective step is to get personal and professional referrals, which will help to weed out companies that are unreliable or unscrupulous. Taking all of these steps will help you to choose a company that's as trustworthy as possible.

2. The amount of time needed


When performing any house painting, the amount of time needed to do the painting will depend on several different factors. Are you painting the interior or exterior of your home? What are the temperature and humidity of the interior of a room, or the exterior or a house? How much ventilation is there? Are you using an oil or latex paint? Painting interiors of homes will generally be logistically easier, since you won't need to climb high ladders. On the other hand, you should still account for the time needed to cover or remove items in a room that's being painted. After considering all of these above factors, make sure to provide extra time for the painting job, and particularly if you need your house's interior or exterior painted by a deadline.

3. The color you're going to use

Along with issues such as which painting company to use, this is one of the most important matters to consider. Which color should you choose for the interior or exterior of your home? Before selecting one, it's crucial to consider several issues in order to make the best choice. What is the color scheme you want to maintain? What is the color of a room's existing decor? What is the "feeling" that you want a house's exterior, or a room's interior to make? You should definitely consider using a color wheel to determine which Primary, Secondary, and Complementary colors you want to mix and match.


4. The cost of the painting job


"How much is this going to cost me?" It's definitely a valid question to ask before doing any type of home improvement, such as house painting. When hiring a painting company to paint the interior or exterior of your home, several factors will determine the total price tag. How experienced are the painters of the painting company you choose? Which grade of paint will be used for the house painting? Are you painting your home's interior, exterior, or both? These are all factors that will impact the cost of painting your home.

Common House Painting Mistakes - Part I

Have you ever read horror stories about house painting mistakes? Among the worst of all these tales would be the case where painting services end up painting the wrong house!

Granted, such a disastrous error is rare but not so rare would be the instance of the service painting the right house the wrong color. Needless to say, such an error will not leave the owners of the house very thrilled with the work that was performed.

While it is true that the vast majority of professional house painting services are highly professional and not prone to making egregious errors, the truth of the matter is accidents do happen.

In some instances, the mistakes that occur can be quite problematic which is why you, the home owner, need to be mindful of the most common mistakes that painting services will make.

In no particular order, here are some of the most frequently reporting mistakes which occur:

Without a doubt, among the most troubling mistakes a painting service will make is damage to your property. Then again, to call such an outcome a mistake is merely being kind. This is negligence pure and simple! The damage incurred could be to the floor, carpets, or furniture. 

Even the walls or the ceiling can be damaged in some way. The costs of the re¬pair work in such an event can be enormous which is why this "mistake" should not be taken lightly.

Another common mistake would be an improper paint job that just does not look right. Sloppy work or uneven painting seriously detracts from the visual appeal of an interior or exterior. 

You do not want your house painted "any old way." You want it painted properly and in a manner that adhered to all levels of quality. Why would you ever expect anything less?

Common House Painting Mistakes - Part II

To paint a home requires a lot of work, a lot of splashing paint, and a lot of moving things around. This is just part and parcel of performing such a job and should not be much of a problem as long as everything is returned to its proper condition after all work is completed.


This is where a house painting mistake can rear its head: the service leaves your home in a state of disarray when done. That is just inexcusable and unprofessional!

Timeliness is also a critical factor when you want to have your home painted. When painting services state they will start on a certain date then that is the date they should be starting. The same thing goes for when they state they will finish. If they say the job should take two days, they should not still be painting on day five.


Your time and schedule is valuable and this is why house painting companies need to be accurate when they quote timeframes in which the work is to be performed.


Thankfully, the vast majority of house painting services is professional and will deliver on all expectations. That said, there will be those services prone to not deliver on expectations. You just have to be on the lookout for them if you want to be sure the job you need done is done right.
