Best Interior Painting Company in Macomb County, MI

Your first step to prep a room for painting is to remove all of the furniture. If the room is large enough, furniture can be placed in the center of the room. Next, take everything off of the walls. If there are holes in the walls from art or pictures that have been hanging, fill in the holes before painting.

Some people repaint their homes when they buy them simply to change the color and others repaint just before they sell their home to enhance its curb appeal. Normally though, you want to have your house painted every 5-10 years, and every 4-7 years if it’s stained.

A couple of factors effect this decision. On the exterior we use a very thick primer and top coat of the highest quality paint made by Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore. If you are staying in the same color or just a shade off then one coat of each will cover just fine. If the color is going to change dramatically then we use 2 coats of exterior paint. Stain jobs are two coats unless you insist on just one and the wood isn’t very dry. We occasionally will do two coats on the sunny side of the house and one elsewhere but normally we encourage you to use two coats.

The exterior paint and primers we use are rated for 35 degrees or warmer, as long as there’s no freezing conditions the nights before. We normally like to paint only when it stays around 42 degrees or warmer.

A typical house’s exterior painting (roughly 2500 square feet) takes about 5-7 days. It depends on the amount of sanding, repair, re-glazing etc. that is required. We bring a large enough crew to each job to get it done in a timely manner without rushing. We also make sure the job doesn’t drag on for weeks by sending one or two painters. Interior jobs usually take about the same amount of time depending on the number of rooms.

It’s rare, and we always watch the forecast. If it does happen, we come back when its dry, prep that side again and repaint the section effected.

As a homeowner, it is important to monitor your home painting over time. When you notice that the paint is beginning to weather and fade badly–especially if there are bare spots resulting from peeling or cracking of the surface–it may be time for another coat. If you live in an area where winters are harsh, this will happen more quickly than it would for someone who lives in a temperate climate.

Residential painting professionals recommend that you keep an eye on your exterior paint during your annual inspection. If it is beginning to crack or peel, this is the best time to repaint it. Most professional painters recommend that you repaint every two years; however, if outdoor humidity or precipitation is an issue for your home, you may want to repaint more often.

There are a number of reasons for this to happen, and most of them come down to the fact that either the siding material itself isn’t able to properly expand and contract with weather changes (if it’s wood, vinyl, aluminum, etc.), there is a build-up of dirt and/or algae on the surface (if it’s siding), or that the paint used has an incompatibility with the rest of its components.

Once we know why the paint is peeling or cracking, then we can look at what our options are. We will remove the peeling paint by pressure washing it off (if it’s wood or vinyl), and/or scraping it off (if it’s aluminum).

No it is not necessary, When your painter estimates your home, he will factor all of the painting prep work needed . Unless you have experience in the field, it is best left to the professional painter you have hired. The prep work does change your bid somewhat , but the cost you save yourself, from having to repair or replace a second time, is well worth it.

It is not recommended to paint below 40-45 degrees. There are special paints available for colder weather painting if painting must be done in colder temperatures. You should consult a professional painter to evaluate your home’s  painted exterior.

Usually one coat of paint is sufficient. Applying several coats of paint  is not necessary, as paint layers do build up and over applying can cause cracking and peeling. Color changing is usually why you would need 2 coats of paint, changing to a light or darker color needs more coats for coverage only. 

If you would like, you can be present when the painting company comes to take an estimate. This will give you time to ask questions, and get to know the estimator. However, it is not required that you are home for this process. In fact, if your work or family schedules make it difficult or impossible for you to be home, most painting companies will come back at your convenience.

A professional estimator will determine the scope of work involved, which will include the size of the project, type of paint needed and number of coats. The estimator will convey this information to you to ensure you both have the same expectations before work begins.

You deserve a company that is willing to work with your company to the best of their ability. Get a consultation/estimation and feel them out. Make sure they are communicative and on the same page as you so that you don’t end up feeling unsatisfied with the job. If you aren’t confident with the company, don’t hire them because your residential property should come first to them and you. Also don’t just go with the lowest bid because that is likely an indication that something is not being done right. Do your research and make sure you’re hiring a reputable company that is going to give you a quality, well-timed and executed residential paint job.

Remove any family treasurers or breakable items, wall hangings, TV sets etc. entirely from the room. Pet owners should sweep or vacuum up loose pet hair and wipe away pet stains (with water only on a damp rag) from the baseboards and carpet.
