Surface Preparation:

Professional painters acknowledge the fact that half of painting finishes made possible because of surface preparation.

Hence, make sure your surfaces are prepared before the actual work starts. Proper surface preparation includes: thorough inspection of surfaces, finding and fixing holes and cracks. Afterward, sanding the surfaces or power cleaning them.

Many people don’t much invest into this, but the truth is that, huge investments in quality paints becomes fruitless because of improper surface preparation.

Choosing The Right Equipment

Imagine using rectangular tires on cars, no matter you good the engine is, it will be nonsense. Just like that, no matter how good is your painting quality, without proper equipment, all will be nonsense.

For smooth walls, choose synthetic brushes, and for textured walls, try using thicker nap roller.

To extend the life of painting equipment, professionals wash them thoroughly after each use.

Use Painter’s Tape Mindfully

Mostly people think that painter’s tape is only used by immature painters. While it is not the reality, the matter is not about skill well, it is about safety and flawless finishes.

Professional painters uses tapes not because they undermine their skills, but because to focus only on the perfection of their coat. Without getting distracted whether they are painting any area that is not destined to be painted.

Moreover, using the tape correctly is also important. One should press it down firmly and remove it before the paint getting dry to achieve crisp lines.

Technique Matters

In order to get smooth streakless finishes, professionals suggest to paint in a pattern of “M” and “W”.

Make sure your hired painters don’t rush completing the job. They don’t try over loading the roller or brush.

Consistent strokes are the only key to perfection, multiple thin coats are way better than a few thick coats to get the job done.

Take Notice Of Your Environment

It is time to consider some important things that may seem to some as unimportant, but professionals suggest they are directly linked to flawless painting.

Temperature and humidity play an important role in how your paint settles and dry.

Our professionals have suggested that one should paint when it is dry not too hot or cold.

Avoid painting in direct sunlight or in high humidity, it can cause bubbling and uneven drying. This can afterward cause the paint to fade and peel off quickly.

Invest In Quality Paint

Going for cheap paints may upfront save you money, but consider painting a long term game. Investing in cheap paints will turns you to repainting in a short while. It can also damage the building materials, so, there can be more cost.

If you don’t want to compromise quality and longevity, opt for quality paints, even if they are some bucks extra. These extra bucks will eventually save you years.

Moreover, quality paints have more coverage, it requires fewer coats than cheap paints. So, in the end the equation may be balanced.

Don’t Rush The Process

All homeowners make this mistake, and in the end blame their hired painters. Quality painting can be time-consuming, but at the end it rewards for years to come.

After each coat let the paint settle then go for another, this will maintain things smooth and aligned. Skipping drying time can cause the paint to fade and peel faster.

Happy Painting!
