Some home remodeling projects are just too huge to take lightly, and house painting is one of them. So adopt a steadfast mentality, prepare your weapons, steel yourself as if going to war, and most of all, relax and have fun (just kidding).   Here is how to paint your own house, all the while keeping your sanity intact and delivering good work in the process.   1. Each Side of the House Is a Project Unto Itself Do not think: We’re going to paint the entire house now.   Instead think: We’re going to paint this one side of the house now. Consider one side of the house a project and ignore the other sides for now.   2. Do the Hard, Boring Parts First Hard and boring parts are places like under the eaves. Fun places to paint are the most visible areas.   Psychologically you will run into trouble if you paint all the fun stuff first. You begin to think that the work is basically finished. Then, when you move to those hard, boring areas, they feel like twice as much work. So, get thos

Here are 10 tips to make your interior house painting projects go smoother and faster while giving you a professional-looking finish that you’ll be proud of. You’ll also find ingenious tips that can cut your cleanup time in half and extend the life of your paint brushes.   TIP 1: TO AVOID LAP MARKS, ROLL THE FULL HEIGHT OF THE WALL AND KEEP A WET EDGE Roll the full height of the wall Lap marks are those ugly stripes caused by uneven layers of paint buildup. They occur when you roll over paint that’s already partly dry. (In warm, dry conditions, latex paint can begin to stiffen in less than a minute!) The key to avoiding lap marks is to maintain a “wet edge,” so each stroke of your roller overlaps the previous stroke before the paint can begin to dry.   To maintain a wet edge, start near a corner and run the roller up and down the full height of the wall, moving over slightly with each stroke. Move backward where necessary to even out thick spots or runs. Don’t let the rolle

“Can you paint the exterior of our home in the winter?” is a very common question in Canada this time of the year. The answer is “Yes”, but the following six conditions must be present as well as no precipitation in the air. Some might ask why not wait until spring or summer? We find a majority of requests that come from homeowners are those looking to sell their home in the hot (even when cold) Canada real estate market or who have recently had new siding or windows installed. businesses and our commercial customers are wanting to update the exterior of their brick and mortar stores for the busy holiday shopping season.   1. Choosing the right paint for the climate The paint you decide to use must be a low-temperature exterior paint. Sherwin-Williams makes a variety of high-quality low temp exterior paints.

The correct sequence of steps is the key to giving any room a quick and refreshing paint makeover. Tip: Start with the ceiling first and then paint the walls.   Clean Ceiling and Walls Cleaning ceilings and walls is the first and foremost process while painting interior or exterior of a house. Firstly, you should remove all dust, dirt, and grease spots (which can ruin a smooth finish) with water, a little mild dishwashing detergent or soap, and a cellulose sponge. Rinse ceiling and walls with clean water to remove the soap residue.   Repair Damaged Surfaces Scrape away old, flaking paint and lightly sand painted woodwork to “knock down” glossy surfaces and prepare them for new paint. Use a primer-sealer to cover high-gloss enamel paints before repainting. Fix any dents, chips, or cracks in the walls before you start painting.
