The correct order to paint a room is as follows:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
Ultimately, the decision to roll or spray your exterior paint will depend on your specific goals and the specific conditions of your project.
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!

We suggest around 3.5 litres for every 32 square metres (slightly smaller than the size of the average family room), but you’ll need almost double that if you’re applying two coats –– for example, if you’re painting over a dark colour and don’t use primer. You’ll also likely need an extra coat of paint for textured surfaces, such as brick. Another reason to get more than you think you’ll need: The exact colour of paint can vary if it’s mixed at different times, so the shade you buy this weekend might be slightly different from the same shade you buy next week when you realize you’re short.
Not if you’re using a paint-and-primer in one. But if you’re buying regular paint, you’ll get better results if you apply a coat of primer before adding colour. Primer, a light-colour base coat, smooths and seals walls, blocking future stains and laying the foundation for a streak-free paint job, especially on raw wood, drywall, metal, and masonry. In fact, for these surfaces, many pros prefer primer over paint-and-primer in one because combo formulas can cost more and often require two coats anyway. Have primer tinted gray or the colour of your topcoat if you’re making drastic colour changes—like going from red walls to light blue ones—to better hide the old hue.
Most roller covers are cheap enough that you can treat them as disposables. But if you’d like to limit waste, you can clean them with a hand-powered brush-and-roller spinner.(about $15 hardware stores or paint supply shops). Slide the paint-soaked cover onto the spinner’s rotating head, and pump the handle; centrifugal force whirls off clingy paint. Rinse the roller in soapy water, then repeat a few times. To avoid splatters, do the spinning in a 15 litre bucket. Stand the roller up vertically to dry.
Paint finish comes in three general categories:
Flat Finish– also known as matte finish
Satin Finish – also known as eggshell finish or low-luster finish
Gloss Finish – also known as semi-gloss finish .
The best places to use flat paint are ceilings, low traffic areas, and rooms that don’t require extensive cleaning.
If it's a well-saturated look you are after that has rich results, you’ll want to go with a flat finish. Flat paint is the most forgiving finish with the best colour payout.
If you need to cover imperfections, patching or joints, flat paint can absorb light, making your dings and flaws less noticeable. The draw back to a flat finish is the lack of durability. Flat paint needs to be cleaned carefully as scrubbing may remove some of the paint. This can cause an uneven or patchy look on the wall.
Satin finish is one of the best finishes to use that allow you to compromise between durability and colour esthetics. Satin has a subtle sheen that gives your room a great colouring while faint enough still to hide imperfections. Satin has one other feature that makes it a favorite for homeowners. Its strength allows it to dry just a bit harder than other paints, which helps the paint protect itself from environments that have more moisture in the air. Satin finish is also resistant to mildew, stains and dirt, and can be cleaned quickly.
Satin paint is best for living areas, kitchen, entryway, bathrooms and high traffic areas.
Semi-Gloss is best for kitchens and bathrooms. It has a higher sheen, typically 40-70% more than other paint finishes. Semi-gloss finish is known to reflect light and have a beautiful glow, without being too shiny. The most durable of the finishes, semi-gloss holds up well in humid environments and is extremely easy to clean.
There’s a basic rule when it comes to paint finishes; the greater the shine, the more durable the paint will be.
However, the higher the gloss, the more imperfections will show on your walls.
They are both excellent questions and more people should ask them.
To find a good painting contractor, start by asking friends and neighbours for recommendations. Word of mouth is a very powerful tool. You could see if your local paint shop has a list. You could search the internet (that's how you found us).
Once you’re ready to talk to them, ask for and check references or other jobs they have done. When they give you a quote, get a firm price. Ask for both a start and finish date. Ask who will actually do the work and check to see if the contractor has public liability insurance.
And never pay in advance.
A contract also should include a list of the work that is to be done, how many coats for each surface, the type of paint to be used for each part of the job, the preparation work that will be done, and who supplies the paint and other materials.
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:
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.
