  55. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here&#8217;s why wallpaper priming might be your new best friend:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Time Saver:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Stripping wallpaper can take days, especially for stubborn varieties that seem welded to the wall. Priming can be done in a fraction of the time, freeing you up for other decorating adventures (or relaxation!).</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Sweat Saver:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The physical effort of scraping and steaming wallpaper can be brutal. Skip the workout and opt for the less strenuous task of applying primer. Your arms (and back) will thank you.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Wall Saver:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Removing wallpaper can sometimes damage the underlying drywall, especially if it&#8217;s old or poorly adhered. You might end up with a bigger job on your hands patching holes and repairing imperfections. Priming allows you to avoid the risk of unnecessary repairs and potentially save money in the long run.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Surprise, It Might Look Great!</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Believe it or not, some wallpapers, particularly those with a smooth texture, can actually provide a nice base for paint. Priming can create a uniform surface and even add a touch of visual interest with the subtle texture of the wallpaper peeking through. This can be a great way to achieve a unique, vintage-inspired look.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Cost Cutter:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Think about all the supplies you&#8217;d need for stripping – wallpaper stripper, scoring tools, trash bags, not to mention the replacement razor blades you&#8217;ll inevitably go through. Priming requires just the primer and some basic application tools like rollers, brushes, and drop cloths. It&#8217;s a much lighter investment on your wallet.</span></li></ul> </div>

  63. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While priming offers a compelling wallpaper stripping alternative, it&#8217;s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Here&#8217;s what to consider before grabbing a can of primer:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Wallpaper Condition:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Is the wallpaper loose, peeling, or bubbling at the seams? If so, you&#8217;ll need to address those problem areas before priming. Loose wallpaper won&#8217;t provide a good base for paint and could lead to bubbling later, defeating the purpose of priming altogether. In these cases, spot-adhere the loose sections with a strong wallpaper glue or size (a liquid adhesive used to strengthen wallpaper) before priming.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Wallpaper Type:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Certain types of wallpaper, like vinyl with a glossy, non-porous surface, can be tricky to prime over. These wallpapers may not accept primer as well, leading to peeling or poor paint adhesion. If you&#8217;re unsure about your wallpaper type, consult a professional for advice. A quick test with a small amount of primer in an inconspicuous spot can also be helpful to see how well it adheres.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Wallpaper Texture:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> A great percentage of wallpaper has a smooth surface. This is perfect for priming over. Others are embossed. The level of the embossing will determine if the wallpaper needs to come off or if you can paint over it. Heavy embossing will telegraph through the paint when completed. If it is a light embossing, it may hide under the roller texture of final paint since you will be applying a coat of primer and two coats of finish paint. This is something you need to test for before you get to deep in the project.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Number of Layers:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Multiple layers of wallpaper can create a thicker, bumpier surface. While priming can still work in this case, you might need additional coats to achieve a smooth finish. Be prepared to apply a coat of primer, sand lightly in between coats to create a uniform texture, and then apply another coat or two for full coverage.</span></li></ul> </div>

  92. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&#8217;ve decided to give priming a go, here are some quick tips to ensure a successful outcome:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Choose the right primer:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Opt for a primer specifically designed for wallpaper. These primers create a better bond with the wallpaper surface and help prevent the wallpaper adhesive from reactivating, which could cause the wallpaper to detach later. We always recommend a fast-dry oil-based primer for this.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Clean is key:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Wash the wallpaper thoroughly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent to remove any dust or dirt. This will help the primer adhere better. Allow it to dry completely before priming.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Prime Time:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Apply a generous, even coat of primer using a roller for larger areas and a brush for corners and trim. Let the primer dry completely before applying a second coat if necessary.</span></li></ul> </div>

  102. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that you have all of your wallpaper primed, its time to ready for paint. Here are the last few tips to creating a beautiful painted room with no signs of the hidden wallpaper:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Lightly sand the walls:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> For this step, you can use a regular sanding sponge to lightly sand the surface of the walls. Don&#8217;t sand through the primer. Think of this as if you were just wiping the walls down for dust.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Spackle any imperfections:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Once the walls are primed, you may see some picture hanger holes or dents from years gone by. Use a lightweight spackle to patch these areas and once they are dry lightly sand them with the sanding sponge. </span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Fix any loose paper:</strong> If you see a seam that is loose, cut the loose paper out and prime that area again with the oil primer. You may need to spackle that area when the primer is dry and lightly sand it smooth.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Last Cleaning:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> You are almost done and should have a great surface for your new paint. With a damp cloth, wipe the walls down one last time to clean and you can feel confident in painting your room with the paint color of your choice.</span></li></ul> </div>

  155. <p>The exterior of your home can have a significant impact when people see it, and as many as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.struttandparker.com/inspire/first-impressions-are-key-to-selling-your-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">76% of buyers</a>&nbsp;think that first impressions are everything.</p>

  158.  
  159. <p>If you&#8217;re selling a home, it should appeal to people from the start. If not, you&#8217;ll want to keep it in good condition for you and your family. Either way, you should look after the exterior of your home.</p>
  160.  
  161.  
  162.  
  163. <p>With time, the elements will take a toll and your home may start to look a bit shabby. Exterior house painting can give it a fresh look and provide a range of other benefits. Hiring professional exterior house painting services will help ensure the job is done right.</p>
  164.  
  165.  
  166.  
  167. <p>In this guide, we&#8217;ll explore some of the key effects of professional exterior house painting. Keep reading for more.</p>
  168.  
  169.  
  170.  
  171. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Improved Aesthetic Appeal</h2>
  172.  
  173.  
  174.  
  175. <p>The main reason that people get their homes painted is simply because they&#8217;re starting to look worse for wear. A fresh coat of paint can completely refresh the appearance and make your house look much newer.</p>
  176.  
  177.  
  178.  
  179. <p>Painting the outside of a home can be very challenging, especially at height. Professionals can take care of things with ease and will be safe when doing so. On top of that, they can make suggestions on color schemes and finishes, which most people won&#8217;t be too certain about.</p>
  180.  
  181.  
  182.  
  183. <p>Depending on the state of your home, you may want to only have certain sections done. Siding painting, for example, may be enough to make a sizable impact.</p>

  191. <!-- wp:heading -->
  192. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Higher Property Value</h2>
  193. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  194.  
  195. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  196. <p>Fresh paint can greatly improve the curb appeal of your property, and this will help increase its value. It&#8217;s the first part of a home that people see, so it can help make a much stronger first impression. If a home looks old and beat up, a lot of potential buyers will make up their minds before they even see the inside.</p>
  197. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  198.  
  199. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  200. <p>If you want to&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/the-areas-you-should-paint-before-you-sell-your-home/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sell your home</a>&nbsp;soon, you should look at different exterior painting trends. Going with something that&#8217;s popular right now will help attract more buyers. This is something else that professional painters can help with as they tend to stay up to date with the latest house painting trends.</p>
  201. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  202.  
  203. <!-- wp:heading -->
  204. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Against the Elements</h2>
  205. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  206.  
  207. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  208. <p>Exterior house paint can protect the surface underneath from the elements. The protection that it offers declines as the paint&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/a-fresh-coat-how-often-should-you-paint-the-exterior-of-your-house/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">degrades with time</a>, so the best protection will come from new paint.</p>
  209. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  210.  
  211. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  212. <p>Quality paint will shield your home from rain, snow, hail, and UV rays. It can also offer protection from moisture-related issues. Things like mold and rot can cause a huge amount of damage, so having a fresh coat of paint may help reduce the need for costly repairs in the future.</p>
  213. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  214.  
  215. <!-- wp:heading -->
  216. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prevention of Structural Damage</h2>
  217. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  218.  
  219. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  220. <p>If you choose to paint your home yourself, you&#8217;ll likely just go over the surface with as many coats as needed and leave it at that. When you hire professionals, however, they may be able to prevent serious structural damage.</p>
  221. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  222.  
  223. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  224. <p>Before painting, they&#8217;ll assess the current condition of your home&#8217;s exterior. They know how to spot signs of underlying issues, and you can then address them before moving on.</p>
  225. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  226.  
  227. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  228. <p>Taking care of such issues as soon as possible will keep repair costs to a minimum. It can also help extend the overall lifespan of your home.</p>
  229. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

  234. <!-- /wp:html -->
  235.  
  236. <!-- wp:heading -->
  237. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cost Savings</h2>
  238. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  239.  
  240. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  241. <p>The main reason that some people choose not to go with professional painters is due to the cost. In the long run, however, hiring professionals can actually save you money.</p>
  242. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  243.  
  244. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  245. <p>Professionals will do the best job, and this will ensure the paint on your home lasts longer. You can also hire professionals for general maintenance and timely repainting when needed to make sure your home is always in the best shape. Addressing small issues sooner is one of the best ways to prevent the need for large repair jobs that will cost a lot more money.</p>
  246. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  247.  
  248. <!-- wp:heading -->
  249. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Improved Indoor Air Quality</h2>
  250. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  251.  
  252. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  253. <p>This is one of the biggest benefits that&#8217;s often forgotten about. The exterior paint on a home can have an impact on the quality of the air inside it.</p>
  254. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  255.  
  256. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  257. <p>A lot of paint contains harmful chemicals, so if you use this to paint your home, these chemicals can get into the air. Professional painters tend to avoid such paints and only use safe ones. These are high-quality pains with low levels of VOCs (<a href="https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/technical-overview-volatile-organic-compounds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">volatile organic compounds</a>) and they therefore emit fewer toxic fumes.</p>
  258. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  259.  
  260. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  261. <p>Exposure to these can cause health issues for you and your family, especially over an extended period. By using low- or zero-VOC paints, your family will be at less risk.</p>
  262. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  263.  
  264. <!-- wp:heading -->
  265. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expertise and Efficiency</h2>
  266. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  267.  
  268. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  269. <p>Most people have never painted the exterior of a home, and some have had very limited experience. Professional painters do it daily, so they know exactly how to approach things.</p>
  270. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  271.  
  272. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  273. <p>The knowledge and expertise that they bring to the job help them ensure the best results. They&#8217;re trained so that they can properly prepare the surface and apply the paint. They also know the best materials and equipment to use.</p>
  274. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  275.  
  276. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  277. <p>On top of doing things right, they&#8217;ll be able to finish the job quickly. Painting the exterior of a home can involve a lot of work, so it could take a very long time for someone who isn&#8217;t trained. Professionals will be able to produce a quality finish in the shortest time.</p>
  278. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  279.  
  280. <!-- wp:heading -->
  281. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Compliance With Regulations</h2>
  282. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  283.  
  284. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  285. <p>Many homes are subject to local regulations and homeowners&#8217; association policies. These can include restrictions in terms of exterior modifications, including paint colors.</p>
  286. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  287.  
  288. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  289. <p>Professional painters understand these regulations well. They can advise you on what colors will meet compliance to ensure you don&#8217;t run into any issues after the work is finished.</p>
  290. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  291.  
  292. <!-- wp:heading -->
  293. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Professional Exterior House Painting</h2>
  294. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  295.  
  296. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  297. <p>Hiring professionals for your exterior house painting will ensure the job is done well and your home is kept in the best state. They&#8217;ll be faster and safer than you would be on your own, and you can expect high-quality results that will improve the appearance of your home in no time.</p>

  319. <p>Be it ever so humble, there&#8217;s no place like home. But if your humble home is becoming too ho-hum or humdrum, it may be time for a change.

  331. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Psychology of Colors</h2>
  332.  
  333.  
  334.  
  335. <p>The psychology of colors and their effect on moods comes in part from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a German poet, playwright, novelist, and scientist. In 1810, Goethe published his book&nbsp;<a href="https://www.artandobject.com/news/who-came-color-wheel#:~:text=In%201809%2C%20Johann,and%20so%20on." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;The Theory of Colours&#8221;</a>&nbsp;where he observed that certain colors had different attributes to them. He referred to the color yellow as &#8220;gladdening&#8221; while using the word &#8220;melancholy&#8221; for the color blue.</p>
  336.  
  337.  
  338.  
  339. <p>Goethe&#8217;s Theory of Colours was then expanded upon by others like psychologist Kurt Goldstein. In 1942, Goldstein used Goethe&#8217;s Colour Theory premise to examine the effect of colors on motor functions in patients with central nervous system disorders.</p>

  345. <!-- /wp:html -->
  346.  
  347. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  348. <p>In a study of 5 patients, Goldstein used the colors green and red to see if it had any effect on their symptoms. Goldstein observed that the color red seemed to increase the symptoms of tremors and balance issues. The color green, on the other hand, appeared to reduce these symptoms because it had a calming effect.</p>

  352. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Color Categories on the Color Wheel</h2>
  353. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  354.  
  355. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  356. <p>Delving further into this topic, let&#8217;s apply this color theory to paint colors and their effect on interior and exterior painting. Colors can be broken down into 4 distinct categories. They are Warm Colors, Cool Colors, Dark Colors, and Neutral Colors.</p>
  357. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  358.  
  359. <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  360. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Warm Colors</h3>
  361. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  362.  
  363. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  364. <p>Warm colors are those found on the right side of a traditional color wheel. A warm color is any color with a red, orange, or yellow tone. They are considered warm because these color tones have an energy or a vibrancy to them.</p>
  365. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  366.  
  367. <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  368. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cool Colors</h3>
  369. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  370.  
  371. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  372. <p>Cool colors are those that are located on the left side of a standard color wheel. Cool colors are often comprised of greens, blues, and purple tones. A cool-toned color often has a calming or serene feeling, as observed by Goethe and Goldstein.</p>
  373. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  374.  
  375. <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  376. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dark Colors</h3>
  377. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  378.  
  379. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  380. <p>A dark color can comprise tones like navy blue, brown, and black. Dark colors are achieved by mixing any of the color hues with black, while the color black is obtained by mixing all of the primary colors together equally. Dark colors can have an ambient or cozy nature to them.</p>
  381. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  382.  
  383. <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  384. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Neutral Colors</h3>
  385. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  386.  
  387. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  388. <p>Neutral colors are color tones like white, gray, ivory, and beige. You can make neutral tones on a color wheel by mixing together two complementary colors, those directly across from one another on the color wheel. They offer a sense of balance and timelessness.</p>

  396. <!-- wp:heading -->
  397. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Colors and Their Emotional Impact on Your Home</h2>
  398. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  399.  
  400. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  401. <p>When it comes to home styles, every homeowner will have different tastes. But color can have a great impact on the overall mood of your home&#8217;s interior and exterior painting.</p>
  402. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  403.  
  404. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  405. <p>If you&#8217;re looking to experiment with color, here are some ways you can utilize paint colors to their fullest extent.</p>
  406. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  407.  
  408. <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  409. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Kitchen</h3>
  410. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  411.  
  412. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  413. <p>Pastels like blue and yellow are ideal if you want to create an environment that is light, airy, and cheerful. Another way to paint your kitchen is by opting for light gray to give it a calm, contemporary, and sophisticated look. White is a clean color that can make smaller spaces appear larger.</p>
  414. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  415.  
  416. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  417. <p>If you want to really go bold, consider painting your kitchen in red tones, since red can help stimulate appetite. If you don&#8217;t want to fully commit to one color to paint your whole kitchen, try&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/cabinet-painting/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">painting your kitchen cabinets</a>&nbsp;in a different color for an interesting contrast.</p>
  418. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  419.  
  420. <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  421. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bedroom</h3>
  422. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  423.  
  424. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  425. <p>If you want to create a bedroom space that is calm and relaxing, go with pastel tones like a tranquil soft blue. For a warm and romantic vibe, you&#8217;ll want to use deeper shades like burgundy to set the tone for desire.</p>
  426. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  427.  
  428. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  429. <p>A sunny yellow color can give your bedroom a vibrant and energized space. While earth tones like olive green and soft brown evoke a more balanced and relaxed space.</p>
  430. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  431.  
  432. <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  433. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Home Office</h3>
  434. <!-- /wp:heading -->
  435.  
  436. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  437. <p>A home office can gain an increased sense of motivation and energy by painting the walls with red tones. For inspiration, soft yellows can boost a more positive mindset and promote creativity.</p>
  438. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
  439.  
  440. <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  441. <p>To&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/paint-for-productivity/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">enhance productivity and focus</a>, choose paint colors like light to medium blues. Soft greens are best for a serene office environment.</p>
  442. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

  506.  
  507. <p>Whether you&#8217;re tackling the project yourself or hiring professional painters, understanding the time frame for painting a house is crucial. But how long does it take to paint a house? This article hopes to answer that question for you.</p>
  508.  
  509. <p>We&#8217;re going to delve into the factors that influence the duration of a house painting project and provide you with valuable insights on how to estimate the time required to give your home a fresh, new look.</p>
  510.  
  511. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DIY vs. Hiring Professional Painters</h2>
  512.  
  513. <p>The decision to tackle the project yourself or hire professional painters can significantly affect the time frame for painting your home.</p>
  514.  
  515. <p>For smaller projects, you may choose the DIY approach, but if you&#8217;re taking on a larger paint job, it&#8217;s better to get the pros involved. If you&#8217;re ever in doubt, then it&#8217;s best to just play it safe and call the professionals.</p>
  516.  
  517. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">DIY Approach</h3>
  518.  
  519. <p>If you decide to take the DIY route, keep in mind that painting your home will typically take longer compared to hiring professionals.</p>
  520.  
  521. <p>You&#8217;ll need to factor in the time for surface preparation, purchasing materials, and the actual painting process. The exact duration will depend on your experience and the size of the project, but it can range from a few days to several weeks.</p>
  522.  
  523. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hiring Professional Painters</h3>
  524.  
  525. <p>When you hire professional painters, you benefit from their expertise and the ability to work efficiently. <a href="https://changemypaint.com/5-benefits-of-using-a-professional-house-painter/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Experienced painters</a> have the skills and equipment to complete the job much faster than an average homeowner. They can tackle both interior and exterior painting projects swiftly and with high-quality results.</p>
  526.  
  527. <p>Professional painters will assess the scope of work and provide you with a more accurate estimate of the time required to complete the project.</p>
  528.  
  529. <p>However, it&#8217;s essential to keep in mind that the timeline can still vary depending on several factors.</p>

  535. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Long Does it Take to Paint a House?</h2>
  536. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  537. <p>Several factors influence how long it takes to paint a house. It&#8217;s important to take these into account when estimating the project&#8217;s duration.</p>
  538. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  539. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Surface Preparation</h3>
  540. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  541. <p>Proper surface preparation is vital to achieving a long-lasting and flawless finish.</p>
  542. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  543. <p>This step includes cleaning, sanding, patching, and priming. Depending on the condition of your walls, ceilings, or exterior surfaces, surface preparation can add days or even weeks to the project timeline.</p>
  544. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  545. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Number of Coats</h3>
  546. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  547. <p>The number of coats of paint required also affects the time frame. While a single coat might suffice for some surfaces, others may need multiple coats for even coverage and durability.</p>
  548. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  549. <p>Each additional coat adds to the total time needed for the project.</p>
  550. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  551. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Drying Time</h3>
  552. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  553. <p>Drying time is an often underestimated aspect of house painting. Between coats, the paint needs time to dry properly to achieve the desired finish.</p>
  554. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  555. <p>Weather conditions, humidity levels, and the type of paint used can all impact drying times. It&#8217;s important to factor in these variables when estimating the project&#8217;s duration.</p>
  556. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  557. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Accessibility</h3>
  558. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  559. <p>The ease of access to various areas of your home can significantly affect the time it takes to paint.</p>
  560. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  561. <p>High or hard-to-reach areas, such as vaulted ceilings or intricate architectural details, may require extra time and equipment to complete the job.</p>
  562. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->
  563. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Estimating the Time for Interior Painting</h2>
  564. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  565. <p>When painting the interior of your home, there are some general guidelines to help you estimate the time frame more accurately. Remember that these are not hard rules, they are more like guidelines.</p>
  566. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  567. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Room Size</h3>
  568. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  569. <p>Smaller rooms with fewer walls will take less time to paint than larger rooms with more surfaces. A typical bedroom can usually be painted in a day, while larger living spaces may take two to three days.</p>
  570. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  571. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Number of Rooms</h3>
  572. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  573. <p>The number of rooms you plan to paint is another essential consideration. Each room will add to the overall time required. For instance, painting the entire ground floor of your home will take longer than just one room.</p>
  574. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  575. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ceiling Height</h3>
  576. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  577. <p>Rooms with high ceilings demand additional time, as they require specialized equipment and techniques. Tackling <a href="https://ceilingoutfitters.com/blog/how-to-measure-ceiling-height-4-easy-steps/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">high ceilings</a> should be factored into your time estimation.</p>
  578. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  579. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trim and Detailing</h3>
  580. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  581. <p>Intricate trim, molding, or detailed features in a room will extend the painting timeline. The more detail involved, the more time it will take to complete the project.</p>
  582. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  583. <p> </p>

  587. <p> </p>
  588. <!-- wp:heading -->
  589. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Estimating the Time for Exterior Painting</h2>
  590. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  591. <p>For exterior painting, the following factors should be considered when estimating the time required. When the exterior of your house is being painted, you have to remember that certain other factors also come into play. <a href="https://changemypaint.com/is-it-too-cold-to-paint-outside/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The weather</a> would be one of those.</p>
  592. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  593. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Surface Material</h3>
  594. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  595. <p>Different exterior surfaces require various preparation and painting techniques. For instance, painting wood siding may take longer due to the need for scraping and priming, while painting stucco or brick might be quicker.</p>
  596. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  597. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Weather Conditions</h3>
  598. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  599. <p>Weather plays a significant role in exterior painting. Rain, humidity, and extreme temperatures can all impact the drying time and the overall duration of the project. It&#8217;s essential to plan for favorable weather conditions to avoid delays.</p>
  600. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  601. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Scaffolding and Ladders</h3>
  602. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  603. <p>When painting the exterior of a multi-story house, the use of scaffolding or tall ladders may be necessary. Setting up and using this equipment safely can add extra time to the project.</p>
  604. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
  605. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Repairs and Maintenance</h3>
  606. <!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
  607. <p>If your home requires repairs or maintenance before painting, such as fixing damaged siding or <a href="https://changemypaint.com/wood-repair/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">replacing rotted wood</a>, you&#8217;ll need to allocate additional time for these tasks.</p>

  805. <p>Is your home&#8217;s exterior starting to look a bit drab? You might be wondering how often you should paint the exterior of your house to keep it looking fresh and vibrant.</p>
  806.  
  807.  
  808.  
  809. <p>In this article, we&#8217;ll explore the factors that determine the lifespan of an exterior paint job, the signs that it&#8217;s time for a new coat, and why hiring professionals is the way to go. We&#8217;ll also delve into the benefits of a timely exterior paint job, from boosting curb appeal to protecting your home from the elements.</p>
  810.  
  811.  
  812.  
  813. <p>So, if you&#8217;re contemplating giving your home&#8217;s exterior a makeover, you&#8217;re in the right place.</p>
  814.  
  815.  
  816.  
  817. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Factors That Affect the Lifespan of Exterior Paint</h2>
  818.  
  819.  
  820.  
  821. <p>When it comes to exterior paint, not all jobs are created equal. Several factors can influence how long your paint will last. Let&#8217;s dig into these elements.</p>
  822.  
  823.  
  824.  
  825. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Quality of Paint</h3>
  826.  
  827.  
  828.  
  829. <p>First up, the paint itself. High-quality paint goes a long way. Premium options contain better ingredients. They resist weather and fading far better than their cheaper counterparts. So, if you&#8217;re looking for longevity, don&#8217;t skimp on the paint.</p>
  830.  
  831.  
  832.  
  833. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Weather Conditions</h3>
  834.  
  835.  
  836.  
  837. <p>Mother Nature isn&#8217;t always kind to your&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/maintain-your-exterior-paint/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">home&#8217;s exterior</a>. Extreme heat, biting cold, heavy rain, and strong winds can all take a toll. If you&#8217;re in an area with harsh weather, plan on repainting more frequently.</p>
  838.  
  839.  
  840.  
  841. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sun Exposure</h3>
  842.  
  843.  
  844.  
  845. <p>The sun is a double-edged sword. While it brightens up your home, it can also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/physics/item/why-does-ultraviolet-light-cause-color-to-fade/#:~:text=Ultraviolet%20rays%20are%20one%20of,as%20dyed%20textiles%20and%20watercolors." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fade your paint</a>. If your house gets a lot of sun, expect to repaint sooner. Keep this in mind when picking paint types and colors.</p>
  846.  
  847.  
  848.  
  849. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Previous Paint Job</h3>
  850.  
  851.  
  852.  
  853. <p>Last but not least, the previous paint job. If corners were cut the last time your house was painted, you&#8217;d be repainting sooner than you&#8217;d like. Proper prep work and application are essential for a paint job that stands the test of time.</p>
  854.  
  855.  
  856.  
  857. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Signs It&#8217;s Time to Repaint</h2>
  858.  
  859.  
  860.  
  861. <p>Knowing when to repaint is crucial. You don&#8217;t want to wait until your home looks like it&#8217;s from a bygone era. Here are some telltale signs that it&#8217;s time for a new coat.</p>
  862.  
  863.  
  864.  
  865. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Peeling or Cracked Paint</h3>
  866.  
  867.  
  868.  
  869. <p>Peeling or cracked paint is a clear sign. It&#8217;s more than an eyesore; it exposes your home to the elements. Ignoring it can lead to bigger issues like wood rot or structural damage.</p>
  870.  
  871.  
  872.  
  873. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fading Color</h3>
  874.  
  875.  
  876.  
  877. <p>Faded paint isn&#8217;t just an aesthetic issue. It also indicates that the paint is losing its protective qualities. When the color loses its vibrancy, it&#8217;s a sign that a new coat is needed.</p>
  878.  
  879.  
  880.  
  881. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mold or Mildew</h3>
  882.  
  883.  
  884.  
  885. <p>Mold and mildew aren&#8217;t just ugly; they&#8217;re harmful. They can damage your home&#8217;s structure and pose health risks. If you spot any, it&#8217;s time to repaint and treat the affected areas.</p>
  886.  
  887.  
  888.  
  889. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chalking</h3>
  890.  
  891.  
  892.  
  893. <p>Chalking is another red flag. If you touch your house and get a chalky residue, it&#8217;s a sign. The paint is breaking down and losing its effectiveness.</p>
  894.  
  895.  
  896.  
  897. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Outdated Color</h3>
  898.  
  899.  
  900.

  905. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefits of Timely Exterior Painting</h2>
  906.  
  907.  
  908.  
  909. <p>Repainting your home&#8217;s exterior offers a range of benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Let&#8217;s explore them individually.</p>
  910.  
  911.  
  912.  
  913. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boosts Curb Appeal</h3>
  914.  
  915.  
  916.  
  917. <p>A fresh coat of paint can transform your home. It makes it more appealing to passersby and potential buyers. If you&#8217;re thinking of selling, a new paint job could even increase your home&#8217;s value.</p>
  918.  
  919.  
  920.  
  921. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protects Against the Elements</h3>
  922.  
  923.  
  924.  
  925. <p>Paint is more than just a pretty face for your home; it&#8217;s a shield. It protects your home from rain, snow, and even harmful UV rays. A fresh coat can seal small cracks and gaps, preventing water damage and energy loss.</p>
  926.  
  927.  
  928.  
  929. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Enhances Structural Integrity</h3>
  930.  
  931.  
  932.  
  933. <p>Believe it or not, a good paint job can actually strengthen your home. Quality exterior paint can protect against termite damage and other potential hazards. It&#8217;s like an extra layer of armor for your home.</p>
  934.  
  935.  
  936.  
  937. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Increases Longevity</h3>
  938.  
  939.  
  940.  
  941. <p>A quality paint job does more than make your home look good; it extends the life of your home&#8217;s siding. By providing an extra layer of protection against the elements, a fresh coat of paint can delay the need for costly repairs or replacements.</p>
  942.  
  943.  
  944.  
  945. <p>Over time, this can add up to significant savings, making the initial investment in a professional paint job well worth it.</p>
  946.  
  947.  
  948.  
  949. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Psychological Benefits</h3>
  950.  
  951.  
  952.  
  953. <p>Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint to lift your spirits. A new color or even a refreshed version of an old color can change your perspective on your home and your life.</p>
  954.  
  955.  
  956.  
  957. <p>It&#8217;s a simple yet effective way to refresh your living space, boost your mood, and even improve your mental well-being.</p>
  958.  
  959.  
  960.  
  961. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Professional Painting is Essential</h2>
  962.  
  963.  
  964.  
  965. <p>You might be tempted to tackle this as a DIY project, but there are compelling reasons to go pro. Let&#8217;s delve into why&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/5-benefits-of-using-a-professional-house-painter/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hiring professionals</a>&nbsp;is the smart choice.</p>
  966.  
  967.  
  968.  
  969. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expertise, Quality, and Convenience</h3>
  970.  
  971.  
  972.  
  973. <p>When you hire professionals, you&#8217;re not just paying for labor; you&#8217;re investing in expertise and skill. They know the best type of paint for your home and how to prepare the surface for a long-lasting finish. Plus, they have the right tools to ensure an even coat, no streaks or missed spots.</p>
  974.  
  975.  
  976.  
  977. <p>And let&#8217;s not forget the time factor. Professionals can complete the job faster, allowing you to focus on other things.</p>
  978.  
  979.  
  980.  
  981. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Long-term Value and Safety</h3>
  982.  
  983.  
  984.  
  985. <p>A professionally done paint job isn&#8217;t just about immediate results; it&#8217;s an investment in your home&#8217;s future. The work will last longer, withstand the elements better, and require fewer touch-ups.</p>
  986.  
  987.  
  988.  
  989. <p>Plus, painting can involve risks like working at heights or handling hazardous materials. Professionals are trained to manage these risks, ensuring a safe and efficient job.</p>
  990.  
  991.  
  992.  
  993. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, How Often Should You Paint the Exterior of Your House?</h2>
  994.  
  995.  
  996.  
  997. <p>The answer to the question &#8220;how often should you paint the exterior of your house&#8221; varies, but one thing&#8217;s for sure: a fresh coat offers more than just a facelift. From boosting curb appeal to protecting your home, the benefits are numerous. Don&#8217;t wait for peeling paint or faded colors to make the call.</p>

  1041.  
  1042. <p>Across the US, about&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/627379/us-share-housing-units-garage-carport/#:~:text=The%20Department%20of%20Energy%20(DOE,had%20a%20garage%20or%20carport." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">66% of homes</a>&nbsp;have a garage, and they can be incredibly useful. Some people don&#8217;t make much use of their garage, and they may simply serve as storage space. For many others, however, the garage is one of the most important parts of the home. A garage can serve well as a workshop, and you can keep any vehicles safe and secure off of the road. It&#8217;s easy to let a garage get into a bit of a poor state, and you may be thinking about breathing some new life into yours. In this guide, we&#8217;ll go over some garage paint ideas that could give you some inspiration. Keep reading for more.</p>
  1043.  
  1044.  
  1045.  
  1046. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep It Simple With Grey</h2>
  1047.  
  1048.  
  1049.  
  1050. <p>Grey may not be the most exciting color choice for garage wall paint, but a lot of people still consider it to be the best. One of the key reasons for this is that it&#8217;s practical.</p>
  1051.  
  1052.  
  1053.  
  1054. <p>People often prefer lighter colors, and while white walls can look good, they can be quite high maintenance. Garages aren&#8217;t typically the cleanest places, and grey walls won&#8217;t show up dirt too quickly.</p>
  1055.  
  1056.  
  1057.  
  1058. <p>Grey can provide a modern feel and works well alongside cars. It also pairs well with most other colors so you can easily add a bit of character.</p>
  1059.  
  1060.  
  1061.  
  1062. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Modern Black and White</h2>
  1063.  
  1064.  
  1065.  
  1066. <p>The best modern garage paint ideas don&#8217;t have to be completely original. Black and white paint is a classic choice, but that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s timeless. Despite not being a new approach, it can still provide a very modern feel.</p>
  1067.  
  1068.  
  1069.  
  1070. <p>Black walls, floors, and ceilings can create a dramatic interior. Including white will help break things up and provide a bit of contrast so you&#8217;re not using one solid color. You can use different blacks such as matte and high-gloss to define different areas.</p>
  1071.  
  1072.  
  1073.  
  1074. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Monochrome With Warm Accents</h2>
  1075.  
  1076.  
  1077.  
  1078. <p>Another great way to achieve a modern look is with a&nbsp;<a href="https://designpickle.com/creative-hub/graphic-design/the-art-of-monochromatic-design/#:~:text=The%20word%20%E2%80%9Cmonochromatic%E2%80%9D%20comes%20from,adding%20white%20to%20a%20color." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">monochrome design</a>. Using different shades of gray will create a sleek look that requires little maintenance.</p>
  1079.  
  1080.  
  1081.  
  1082. <p>Consider shades of grey for other elements such as cabinets and floor mats for a cohesive and dynamic feel. You can then add a splash of color to contrast the rest of your garage. You may want to match this to your car or bike to create some cohesion.</p>
  1083.  
  1084.  
  1085.  
  1086. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Airy and Expansive</h2>
  1087.  
  1088.  
  1089.  
  1090. <p>You might think that an airy space depends entirely on the structure, but this isn&#8217;t always the case. You can use colors to create a sense of airiness in your garage.</p>
  1091.  
  1092.  
  1093.  
  1094. <p>Light colors are the key here, with light greys and whites being perfect. This goes for your walls, ceiling, floor, cabinetry, and anything else. It&#8217;s ideal if your garage gets a lot of daylight, but you can use LED lighting to help accentuate this feel throughout your garage.</p>
  1095.  
  1096.  
  1097.  
  1098. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Navy Blue With Grey Cabinets</h2>
  1099.  
  1100.  
  1101.  
  1102. <p>You can go the other way with colors to create a more dramatic feel. Navy blue is ideal for adding some depth to your garage. A grey-blue will help keep it feeling modern.</p>
  1103.  
  1104.  
  1105.  
  1106. <p>A white ceiling and grey cabinets are perfect here. The bold blue walls along with the neutral greys and white result in a dynamic feel. Adding small splashes of brighter colors can help liven up the space.</p>
  1107.  
  1108.  
  1109.  
  1110. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sleek Black and Grey</h2>
  1111.  
  1112.  
  1113.  
  1114. <p>If you have a minimalist home, you may want this to extend to your garage. You can use black and dark greys in your garage to achieve this.</p>
  1115.  
  1116.  
  1117.  
  1118. <p>For full cohesion, this can extend to the exterior of your garage. Some may worry that this can create a harsh look, but a well-kept lawn will help soften the sharp appearance of the garage.</p>
  1119.  
  1120.  
  1121.  
  1122. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Harley Davidson-Inspired</h2>
  1123.  
  1124.  
  1125.  
  1126. <p>If you&#8217;re more keen on a bold and expressive space, bright colors are always an option. Motorcycle enthusiasts may want to match their garage to their favorite bike, and a Harley Davidson-inspired garage can be perfect for this.</p>
  1127.  
  1128.  
  1129.  
  1130. <p>Orange, black, and grey will match the branding of your bike perfectly. You don&#8217;t need to use solid colors, but can instead opt for combinations. For your garage floor painting, for example, you could use a checkered pattern consisting of all three of these colors.</p>
  1131.  
  1132.  
  1133.  
  1134. <p>A design like this may not be as simple, but any reliable company that provides garage painting services should have no trouble with it. You can do this to match the branding of any vehicle you own.</p>
  1135.  
  1136.  
  1137.  
  1138. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cold vs Warm</h2>
  1139.  
  1140.  
  1141.  
  1142. <p>If you want to use greys but don&#8217;t want your garage to seem too cold, there are ways you can add a bit of warmth. Wooden accenting is ideal for this. Dark grey or charcoal paint on the exterior along with a wooden trim gives some contrast that creates a more welcoming feel.</p>
  1143.  
  1144.  
  1145.  
  1146. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Race Car-Themed Paint</h2>
  1147.  
  1148.  
  1149.  
  1150. <p>This kind of theme may be too bold for most, but if you want something that draws more attention, race car-themed colors are perfect. You can combine black, white, grey, and red to give your garage a very unique appearance.</p>
  1151.  
  1152.  
  1153.  
  1154. <p>A checkered pattern on the floor will give that classic race car feel. You can also use greys or bold reds for your cabinets to add to the aesthetic. This kind of design is a bit more complex, so make sure you work with an&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/5-benefits-of-using-a-professional-house-painter/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">experienced professional</a>&nbsp;so that the final look is one you like.</p>
  1155.  
  1156.  
  1157.  
  1158. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Extension of Your Home</h2>
  1159.  
  1160.  
  1161.  
  1162. <p>This is another popular choice. Some people want their garage to mesh in well with the rest of their home, so you can paint yours with this in mind. By painting your garage to match your home, it provides a seamless transition between the two.</p>
  1163.  
  1164.  
  1165.  
  1166. <p>You can do this for the exterior and interior. Companies that provide residential interior painting could paint your garage along with any other rooms in your home as part of the same project.</p>
  1167.  
  1168.  
  1169.  
  1170. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bringing Your Garage Paint Ideas to Life</h2>
  1171.  
  1172.  
  1173.  
  1174. <p>Even with plenty of garage paint ideas to help you, it can be difficult to create the garage you want. Interior and exterior painting isn&#8217;t as simple as people often think, so if you want good results, you should hire professionals.</p>

  1196. <h1 class="wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size">5 Benefits of Using a Professional House Painter</h1>
  1197.  
  1198.  
  1199.  
  1200. <p>Do you ever step back and look at your home from the outside, wishing it could regain its former glory?</p>
  1201.  
  1202.  
  1203.  
  1204. <p>You&#8217;re not alone. We all picture smooth and even walls, vibrant colors, and a fresh, inviting atmosphere from time to time. That&#8217;s the magic of a fresh coat of paint.</p>
  1205.  
  1206.  
  1207.  
  1208. <p>Yet, while it seems like a simple task, it isn&#8217;t.</p>
  1209.  
  1210.  
  1211.  
  1212. <p>Read on to learn why hiring a professional house painter is the right decision to make-because if you&#8217;ve been putting a paint job off for too long by now, this is the article for you.</p>
  1213.  
  1214.  
  1215.  
  1216. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefit #1: The Quality of Work</h2>
  1217.  
  1218.  
  1219.  
  1220. <p>The most obvious benefit of&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/why-hire-a-professional/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hiring a professional painter</a>&nbsp;is the sheer quality of work delivered.</p>
  1221.  
  1222.  
  1223.  
  1224. <p>&#8220;Do it right or do it twice&#8221; is the old saying.</p>
  1225.  
  1226.  
  1227.  
  1228. <p>Exterior house painting is littered with potential pitfalls and mistakes that harm the aesthetic of your house and-in the long run-end up costing you more money. A professional painting company has the training, experience, and tools necessary to do the job right the first time.</p>
  1229.  
  1230.  
  1231.  
  1232. <p>That&#8217;s because house painting is more complex than it seems at first glance.</p>
  1233.  
  1234.  
  1235.  
  1236. <p>When you paint your house yourself, there&#8217;s a fair chance that you&#8217;ll end up with visible brush strokes and uneven color distribution. You may even notice your paint start to peel away after a short time.</p>
  1237.  
  1238.  
  1239.  
  1240. <p>Professionals understand how to prepare a surface and choose the right type of paint. They can advise you on complementary and contrasting colors and they&#8217;ll apply the paint evenly for a smooth, durable finish.</p>
  1241.  
  1242.  
  1243.  
  1244. <p>Plus, they should have a good understanding of local&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/real-estate-news/article263986351.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Homeowners Association regulations</a>&nbsp;to help you avoid causing any conflicts.</p>
  1245.  
  1246.  
  1247.  
  1248. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefit #2: Safety and Insurance</h2>
  1249.  
  1250.  
  1251.  
  1252. <p>Painting your house, especially your exterior walls, can be risky. It involves climbing ladders and working in difficult conditions, often under sweltering heat.</p>
  1253.  
  1254.  
  1255.  
  1256. <p>It also involves working with dangerous chemicals. When you hire a professional to paint your house, you can rest assured that they have the necessary safety training and equipment to do the job safely.</p>
  1257.  
  1258.  
  1259.  
  1260. <p>But that&#8217;s only half the story.</p>
  1261.  
  1262.  
  1263.  
  1264. <p>Professional painting companies have insurance that you don&#8217;t &#8211; namely, they&#8217;re insured against damages and accidents that might occur during their work. And those damages come in all manner of forms.</p>
  1265.  
  1266.  
  1267.  
  1268. <p>From personal injury to property damage, there&#8217;s a lot that can go wrong when applying a seemingly harmless fresh lick of paint. When you hire a painting company, you&#8217;re not only protecting your home; you&#8217;re protecting yourself from legal liability.</p>
  1269.  
  1270.  
  1271.  
  1272. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefit #3: Experience</h2>
  1273.  
  1274.  
  1275.  
  1276. <p>There&#8217;s a lot more to painting than slapping color on walls and calling it a day. Materials, colors, aesthetics, trends, and techniques are all part of the discipline.</p>
  1277.  
  1278.  
  1279.  
  1280. <p>And, as you&#8217;d imagine, professional painters have this knowledge and experience in spades.</p>
  1281.  
  1282.  
  1283.  
  1284. <p>They use it to get results, and the results speak for themselves. Whenever you drive by a house or a commercial building with a gorgeous paint job, you&#8217;re looking at the work of a professional nine times out of ten.</p>
  1285.  
  1286.  
  1287.  
  1288. <p>For example, a professional painter can help you choose the right type of paint for each room, considering factors like humidity and light exposure. Both of these things affect the lifespan of your paint job.</p>
  1289.  
  1290.  
  1291.  
  1292. <p>Just as signs and billboards wear out over time, so too does paint. Professional decorators can also advise you on&nbsp;<a href="https://changemypaint.com/how-commercial-painting-services-can-transform-your-workspace/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">color trends and color combinations</a>&nbsp;to help you create a stylish look for your home and truly make a statement.</p>
  1293.  
  1294.  
  1295.  
  1296. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefit #4: Preparation and Cleanup</h2>
  1297.  
  1298.  
  1299.  
  1300. <p>A successful paint job begins long before the brush touches the canvas. And it ends with an intensive cleanup job. Both of these tasks are tedious and get messy fast-but they&#8217;re crucial for a clean finish and a comfortable look.</p>
  1301.  
  1302.  
  1303.  
  1304. <p>What does&nbsp;<a href="https://www.familyhandyman.com/list/10-simple-steps-exterior-paint-prep/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the prep stage</a>&nbsp;involve?</p>
  1305.  
  1306.  
  1307.  
  1308. <p>That depends on your walls. But a lot of the time, it can include things like scraping and sanding walls to prepare them for a fresh coat of paint. It also involves masking and planning to prevent paint from getting where it shouldn&#8217;t.</p>
  1309.  
  1310.  
  1311.  
  1312. <p>An interior house painter will cover your furniture and flooring with protective materials to protect them from paint splatters that can be hard to clean. And, once the job is done, they&#8217;ll clean up the paint chips and dust particles that naturally result from the process.</p>
  1313.  
  1314.  
  1315.  
  1316. <p>Dealing with mess is annoying at the best of times, and dealing with the mess resulting from a fresh paint job takes a lot longer than you think it does.</p>
  1317.  
  1318.  
  1319.  
  1320. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefit #5: Time and Stress</h2>
  1321.  
  1322.  
  1323.  
  1324. <p>Let&#8217;s face it: Pure convenience is one of the biggest reasons homeowners hire professionals for complicated tasks. We hire plumbers to handle our plumbing and electricians to handle our electrical systems.</p>
  1325.  
  1326.  
  1327.  
  1328. <p>Why would it be any different for our paint jobs?</p>
  1329.  
  1330.  
  1331.  
  1332. <p>Painting a house is a mammoth task. You need to move furniture and cover everything with drop cloths. You need to prepare the walls, then paint, wait for it to dry, and paint again.</p>
  1333.  
  1334.  
  1335.  
  1336. <p>And that&#8217;s just for one room! Indoors!</p>
  1337.  
  1338.  
  1339.  
  1340. <p>If you&#8217;re painting outdoors, you need to trim hedges and move cars and sometimes even consult with your neighbors. A professional painter can complete the job quickly and efficiently.</p>
  1341.  
  1342.  
  1343.  
  1344. <p>They have the tools and techniques they need to speed up the process, and most importantly, they do so without compromising on quality. Best of all, they can work while you&#8217;re unavailable, meaning they won&#8217;t need to disrupt your routine.</p>
  1345.  
  1346.  
  1347.  
  1348. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hire the Right House Painter for the Job</h2>
  1349.  
  1350.  
  1351.  
  1352. <p>Investing in a professional house painter is about more than saving time. With skill, knowledge, and experience to back it up, professional painters can transform your home into a place of pride.</p>
  1353.  
  1354.  
  1355.  
  1356. <p>So make the smart choice: Hire a professional painter for your next painting project. You won&#8217;t regret it when you see the results.</p>

  1441. </p>
  1442. <p>Epoxy floor solutions perfectly blend the realms of science and art. On the scientific side, a chemical reaction occurs between the&nbsp;<a href="http://chemicalsafetyfacts.org/chemicals/epoxy-resins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">epoxy resin</a>&nbsp;and hardener, forming a strong, durable surface. This surface can withstand the demands of a garage environment, resisting stains and spills, and remaining ideal for residential use.</p>
