When you decide to paint a portion of your home you want it to look nice and to remain that way for a number of years. Taking the cheaper route will only leave you disappointed and you may even have to paint the entire area again in just a year or two. Investing in a high quality wall paint along with a reputable and recommended painter will ensure you are happy with the results.
A number of paint brands are available on the market and include different finishes and textures. You may want to consider your lifestyle and the amount of wear and tear that your home sees. If you have children or pets, a higher quality washable matte or semi-gloss might be more appropriate than a cheaper run of the mill flat paint. Better quality paints can be found in low VOC versions as well which will be healthier for you and your family. Cheap paints usually have a higher odor content.
Along with a cheaper quality paint, some painting companies opt for cheaper supplies such as poor quality brushes, drop cloths and tape. This prevents crisp lines and an even look. These little items might not seem like a big deal but when the job is completed, it makes a big difference in the overall look of the home and how well the paint job looks. Your furniture and floors should be protected well and unpainted portions should be kept in pristine condition.
A cheap paint job often includes lack of experience. If you’re painting a standard bedroom that might not be a huge deal, but when it comes to larger living spaces, especially ones that have cathedral ceilings or decorative textures or papers, you want someone to get the job done right. You want to know that this isn’t the first time your contractor has completed this type of job.
Hiring a commercial painting contractor can ensure that you will get what you want. You can ask your neighbors or friends who they used for their own homes or you can inquire at your local paint supply store. Hardware stores may also have a few names that they can pass on to you.
