Five Important Steps to Take Before Painting Your Home

Painting your South Florida home is an excellent way to transform its appearance, as well as give your living space an updated new look. Whether you’re planning to paint a single room or give your entire household a makeover, there are a number of elements you should take into consideration firsty before starting the painting process. We at Tru Colors Contracting have assembled a list to help make your next home painting project go as smoothly as possible.

Select The Right Paint : Choosing the correct type of paint for your home painting project is of the utmost importance. Different paints have variable levels of durability, sheen and application methods. For example, if you’re painting a high-traffic area, such as an entryway or hallway, you may want to select a highly durable paint that can withstand wear and tear. You should also take into consider the finish:  Do you prefer a glossy, semi-glossy or matte look? It’s always important to select a paint that is best suited to the room. This ensures you that it will last and look great.

Test Paint Colors First: We at Tru Colors Contracting highly recommend testing a small area in your room first with your color selection. It’s best to paint a small area of the wall first to observe how the color looks in the different shades of lighting going through the room during the day. This will help determine if the color is the perfect shade for your room and if you’ll be happy living with it going forward.

Prep The Surfaces: Before we start painting a room, it’s important to prep the surfaces firs. This means cleaning the surfaces first to ensuring that they are free from dirt, dust, and grime. In addition, any holes or cracks in the walls should be filled and sanded down to create a smooth surface for painting.

Use Quality Paint Brushes and Rollers: The quality of the brushes and rollers on a paint project can greatly affect the final results. At Tru Colors Contracting, we use paint brushes and rollers of the highest quality to ensure a smooth and even finish. Inexpensive brushes or rollers can leave streaks behind or fibers in the paint, creating an uneven and unprofessional appearance.
