Steps Professional Painters Take for Success

Gather the info…

Any professional painting contractor worth their salt, like the pros at Designs Unlimited, will start a job talking directly with the client about their wants, needs, and vision for the painting project. This is an opportunity for the contractor and the homeowner to learn about each other, discuss the process, warn about any areas of special attention, and agree on the work to be done, the timeframe in which the job will take place, and the project’s process.

Assess the situation…

A team of professional painters will want to know what they’re faced with when entering a space to be painted, so they’ll want to review the space and its needs before starting. Furniture may need to be moved to another room, lighting fixtures may need to be wrapped, built-in carpentry protected, etc. The space to be painted will need to be ready for a team of pros to start work on day one.

Be prepared…

The preparation involved in a room paint job will reveal itself when the project is complete. Water stains (and the source of the leak) will need to be remediated, sealed and primed, and painted with special attention. The appearance of chipped paint, decaying plaster, and/or surface imperfections will become more noticeable after painting if they are not treated before the paint goes on. An appropriate primer can help cover the old paint color and help brighten the new. The right kind of paint brush and the correct type of paint roller are needed to achieve the right finish from the right paint.

Get primed…

The basis of a professional, long-lasting, and beautiful paint job in Westchester NY is a good coat of primer applied to the surface to be painted. A coat of primer over the surface to be painted will seal stains on the surface that could possibly show through even several coats of just paint alone. Primer will give the paint a secure grip on the surface for durable performance. Primers can even be tinted in the shade of the final paint cover you’ve chosen, making the painted wall cover more uniform, vivid, and resilient.

Get covered…

Here’s where the fun is; choosing your color and getting in on the walls. There’s a lot to consider when buying paint beyond the right color for you. Paints come in different finishes from glossy to matte; they may be latex-, alcohol-, or alkyd-based; different manufacturers of paints each have their features and reputations; there’s a lot to think of to ensure you get the best outcome possible. And because the cost of the paint for a job is often the least priciest expenditure, it is important to choose a paint brand that has all the quality and durability you’re looking for.
