What is the correct order to paint a room?

The correct order to paint a room is as follows:

1. Prepare the room: Move furniture out of the way or cover it with drop cloths. Remove all switch and outlet covers, and any other items that are attached to the walls. Repair any holes or imperfections in the walls with plaster or joint compound. Sand the walls to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to.
2. Prime the walls: Apply a coat of primer to the walls to help the paint adhere better and to cover any imperfections. This is especially important if you are painting over a dark color or a glossy surface.
3. Paint the trim: Start by painting the trim, including the skirting boards, crown molding, and door frames. Use a paintbrush for smaller areas and a paint roller for larger areas.
4. Paint the walls: Once the trim is dry, paint the walls. Use a paintbrush for the edges and corners and a paint roller for the larger areas. Work in small sections, starting at the top of the wall and working your way down.
5. Clean up: Once the paint is dry, remove the drop sheets and put everything back in place. Wipe down the trim and skirting boards with a damp cloth to remove any paint splatters.

It's important to follow this order so that you don't have to worry about getting paint on the trim or other finished surfaces.

Is house painting a capital improvement?

In general, house painting is considered a maintenance expense rather than a capital improvement. A capital improvement is a major addition or alteration to a property that increases its value or useful life. Examples of capital improvements might include adding a new room to a house, installing a new roof or siding, or upgrading major systems such as plumbing or electrical.

On the other hand, house painting is typically considered a routine maintenance expense that is necessary to keep the property in good condition. It is not typically considered a major addition or alteration to the property and does not usually increase its value or useful life in the same way as a capital improvement.

However, it's worth noting that the tax treatment of house painting and other home improvement expenses can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the laws in your jurisdiction. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or review the relevant tax laws to understand how these expenses may be treated in your specific situation.

Do you cut in first when painting?

Pros usually follow a certain order when painting a room.

It is generally recommended to "cut in" or paint the edges of a surface before painting the larger areas. This can be done using a paintbrush or a paint edger tool. Cutting in helps to create a clean, sharp edge where the paint meets the ceiling, trim, or other adjacent surfaces. It is especially important to cut in when painting with a roller, as rollers can be difficult to control near edges and corners.

To cut in, load a paintbrush with paint and hold it at a 45-degree angle to the surface. Gently tap the brush against the surface to deposit the paint, then use a sweeping motion to spread the paint evenly. It is important to work slowly and carefully to create a straight, even line. If you are using a paint edger tool, the process is similar: load the tool with paint and gently guide it along the edges of the surface.

Cutting in may take some practice, but it is a crucial step in achieving a professional-looking paint job. It is also a good idea to practice cutting in on a piece of cardboard or other surface before starting on the actual project.

Is it OK to cut in one day and paint the next?

It really shouldn't matter.

In the end, it's the exact same paint so it should match.

In our experience, it's easier to lay down a thicker coat of paint with a roller than brush, so after doing one coat of cutting in, and then one coat of rolling, you may notice the edges look lighter because there is less paint there.

Is it worth it to paint your own house?

NO! Don't paint your house yourself unless you have the time, tools, skills and stamina to do the work.

Depending on the size, design  and the condition of your house, preparing and painting a house on your own can be a difficult and time consuming job. 

Leave it to the experts!

Is it better to roll or spray exterior paint?

It depends on the specific circumstances and the desired outcome. Both rolling and spraying can produce good results, and the best method for a particular project will depend on various factors such as the type of paint being used, the surface being painted, and the desired finish.

Here are some general considerations to help you decide whether to roll or spray your exterior paint:

• Surface type: If the surface being painted is rough or uneven, rolling may be the better option because it is easier to control and is less likely to produce drips or an uneven finish. Spraying is typically better for smooth surfaces because it can cover a large area quickly and evenly.
• Paint type: Some paints are better suited to rolling or spraying. For example, thick or heavy paints may be difficult to apply evenly using a sprayer, while thin or watery paints may produce drips or splatters when rolled on.
• Finish: If you want a smooth, even finish with minimal brush or roller marks, spraying may be the better option. However, if you prefer the texture and appearance of a rolled finish, rolling may be the way to go.
• Speed: Spraying is generally faster than rolling, especially for large surfaces. If you need to complete a project quickly, spraying may be the more efficient option.

Ultimately, the decision to roll or spray your exterior paint will depend on your specific goals and the specific conditions of your project.

What is the best time to paint house exterior?

The best time to paint a house exterior is during the summer months.

The weather tends to be more stable, the days are longer and the temperatures allow exterior paint to dry better.

All making Summer the perfect time to get the house painted!

Are you planning to change the look of your living or working space?

Then nothing gives you an instant transformation more than painting it.

There are numerous factors which influence the look and feel of your space and painting is the most important of all. Have you noticed that when someone, a guest or a visitor, walks into space, the first thing they notice is the walls. If the space is  nicely painted it gives a captivating look and if it isn’t then very little you do to your interior will make it appealing. So, when you decide to paint your house or office, you have the choice:

• Do it yourself
• Get a mate to do it
• Find a painter on Gumtree (oh no!)
• Hire a professional

Don't even think about the first two!

Hiring a painter from a handyman website who quotes a very low price, can be very tempting. Giving the painting project to a low cost painter can save you a bit of money but there is no guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with the result. There's a good chance that you will end up with a sloppy paint job and you'll need to spend more to fix their mistakes.

Painting is much more than holding a paintbrush and roller.

Benefits of Professional Painters

Let’s look at the option of hiring professional painters to paint your home or office.

Anyone can paint but, not everyone is a professional painter.

A professional painter will give your home or office that look you were expecting, and beyond. Sure, hiring professional painters can cost you a bit extra than  'your mate' but is definitely worth it.

Here are some reasons, why you should hire professional painters

• No Worries: You won’t have to worry or take responsibility for the result if you hire professional painters. Professional painters know how to paint and prepare a space. Instead of stressing about the painting job, you can spend your time doing something that you actually want to do.
• Detailed Information: Professional painters will discuss with you all the necessary details of the painting process. They will help you to pick the right colours, whether for your interior and exterior. They will also keep you updated on the progress throughout the complete painting process.
• Product Knowledge: This is the big one! Professional painters know a lot more about the right painting products to use. They always use genuine, branded products. They know which product should be used in a specific area; like the kitchen, bathroom, living area, etc. If there is any problem on the surface of the wall, they know what product to use.
• Quality Finish Every Time: Quality finish, this is a big difference and what professional painters are known for. They know how to get that top quality finish. They guarantee a smooth and shining finish to all surfaces, and that's what sets them apart from amateurs. Professional painters will take care of your painting project and will give you a quality finish which will last for years.
• On-Time Job: Professional Painters will efficiently handle the paint job. They manage their time effectively and will complete the job on time and to a finish you will be happy with.
• Worth of money: When you look to invest in anything, you always seek a Return On Investment. Same thing when you spend money on hiring professional painters, it is an investment you make on your home or office. But with a professional you increase the chance of a  result that you will be happy with.
• Experience: Being professional in any field is not the result of a few weeks or months. Professional painters have years of experience and when they work on any project, they apply that experience to the job at hand. They know how to prepare the surface, how many coats of paint will be required, and what action needs to be taken to deliver your quality finish.
• Well Equipped: These days professional painting services require many modern tools and equipment. Some jobs might require a vacuum sanding machine, spray machine, or some other costly machine. Professional painters will have all the required tools or equipment for all types of projects.
• Clean-Up: Painting projects can go for a few days or sometimes for weeks. They start the job by covering up all the unmovable objects. Professional painters know their job and at the end of every day will ensure they clean up after themselves.

There are many reasons and benefits to hiring a professional in any field, particularly painting. We hope helps you to understand why you should hire a professional painter for your next project.
