House Painting

Professional House Painting

Ready for a home refresh? A new coat of paint (or two) could be just what your home needs to go from drab to fab in just a few days and for much less than you might expect.

And don’t think you are stuck with the same colour or colour family. When it comes to house painting, your imagination is the limit. Swap rambunctious red for cool blue or a grand-looking green. Rather go with a classic? You can’t go wrong with crisp white – inside or out.

Is the time right to paint your home?

A perfectly good reason to start with is that you’re simply tired of the existing colour. After all, there’s nothing wrong with wanting a refresh or making a home your own by switching up the curb appeal.

Looking for a little inspo? Here are the TOP interior painting colour trends you need to know to stay stylish this year.

Functionally speaking, there are some very specific signs that it’s time for a paint job. While paint can (or at least should) look great, it works to help protect your home against the elements. When that coating starts to fail, you can end up with damage from weather or pests that can lead to water entry or substructure rot.

Here are signs to watch for on your exterior house paint:

• Cracking or peeling layers
• Stains, fading, or discolouring
• Mould or mildew growth
• Bubbling surfaces
• Gaps in caulking

One last idea here: if you’re planning to sell your house, a fresh coat of paint can work wonders. Not only will it look great to potential buyers, but it can actually increase the value of your home when you go to list it.

P.S If you want to increase the value of your home, make sure you paint your fence too. We wrote the definitive guide on fence painting – and you can read that fence painting guide right here!

Keep these 5 things in mind when planning your refresh

1. What lies beneath could cause delays. If the team finds rotten material after removing the existing paint, you would need to replace trim or components before the paint job can move forward.
2. Paint kills plants. While this can seem silly, make sure your painter takes measures to cover or protect your plantings. And while you’re at it, move your outdoor furniture out of the way, too.
3. Ask for extra. Paint, that is. When the job is done, make sure the contractor leaves behind at least one can of paint so you can do small touch ups as the need arises.
4. Swatch and Sample. Take the time to try out a few different colours on the actual exterior material. What looks great on a card or on the can could look quite different once it’s all over your house in the natural light of day.
5. Avoid the heat. The best temperatures for painting are 10-27°C. Go hotter or colder, and the paint will not adhere or cure correctly, leaving you with a mess to redo later.

Does painting include warranties?

Most paint comes with a limited lifetime guarantee for performance. Why limited? Because it comes down to the quality of the actual paint job. That’s why you should only choose a professional painter that is highly experienced with a proven track record.

Your paint warranty will usually cover the integrity of the application. When it comes to exterior applications, this is important for protection against blistering, peeling, or weather if the surface has been correctly prepared and primed. This makes sure that the paint has the chance to adhere.

As you look for the right painter for your job, you should also look for one that backs their own work. Not many painters will offer a workmanship warranty, choosing instead to hide behind the idea that paint will fade or weather because of, well, the weather. Don’t be afraid to ask a provider which paint brands they use and what customer satisfaction offers they include with their work.
