Home Painting Estimates
A fresh coat of paint or stain brightens the world around you and makes
everything seem nicer! It's true. Few home improvement services create such
dramatic differences in aesthetic and monetary value. And, painting and
staining services for the inside and outside of your home are likely to be more
affordable than you might think.
Exterior Painting and Staining
It's simply incredible to witness the overall enhancement of your home,
barn or outbuilding after it has been freshly repainted. It's not just as
simple as slapping the paint on the walls though; most of the work comes in the
preparation. Exterior painting and staining services include:
Ø Scraping
the old paint away and cleaning up the mess that it creates;
Ø Masking
off windows, hinges, doors, and all other accessory items that you do not want
paint to get on;
Ø Repair
of wood siding;
Ø Preparation
of all metal to be painted by sanding and priming;
Ø Applying
sealant beads to protect from the weather in all necessary locations;
Ø Protecting
flowers, shrubs and trees and pulling them away from the structure to be
painted;
Ø Setting
up ladders and scaffolding if needed;
Ø Application
of the paint or stain;
Ø Applying
a second coat when necessary;
Ø A
comprehensive cleanup of the entire site;
Interior Painting and Staining
Interior painting and staining services are slightly less complex than
the exterior type. However, meticulous attention to detail still must be paid
while performing the following:
Ø All
necessary repairs to drywall and plaster;
Ø Protecting
the various types of flooring that may be present;
Ø Masking
off all trim, window casings, cabinetry, countertops, chandeliers, ceiling fans
appliances, furniture and all other items where paint is not desired;
Ø Application
of the paint or stain;
Ø Applying
a second coat when necessary;
Ø Comprehensive
cleanup;
Drywall Installation
Drywall installation and/or repair services are also offered by most
professional painting contractors. It just comes with the territory. Having
glass-smooth wall surfaces that are properly prepped for painting or staining
is integral to the successful completion of the overall project.
Bring your home alive again both inside and out with fresh paint or
stain!
