House painting is more than just picking paint and slapping it on your house. Why? Well, we've found that customers have a lot of questions about the process.
For example, we had a customer who tried to paint his master bedroom himself. The original color was kind of a bright lilac color. He wanted something a bit more toned down, so he went with a kind of aqua color. The only problem is he didn't sand the paint off, and just tried to put a new coat of paint on top of the old color. He tried a couple of coats, but the lilac was just to strong, and his bedroom looked a very bizarre color. He also didn't paint the molding right, and it had the tiniest line of lilac on top, which only made the paint job way too busy. Which is a perfect introduction to our next question.
So remember, if you have questions about painting, you want to probably considering hiring someone to do it for you. That way, your interior painting can be perfect every time.

House Painting Questions
Should you sand before painting? Absolutely. Make sure that you use the right grit sand paper. You also want to get a pole sander, a dust mask and other equipment that a professional house painter already has. Sanding a surface helps to remove old paint as well as any raised areas that will interfere with an even coat of paint being applied. As to why removing old paint is important, is that unless it is in the same shade family, the coat of paint you put on top of the old paint will show the old paint underneath. So if you have a light color going over a darker color, the lighter color will pick up a hint of the darker color.For example, we had a customer who tried to paint his master bedroom himself.

What Color Should I Paint My Bedroom?
What color should I paint my bedroom? Color has a profound physiological and psychological effect on us. Reds have a tendency to make us more alert, blues have a tendency to make us more restful, earth tones are neutral, and darker colors have a tendency to make us more serious. One of our customers wanted to paint her bedroom bright scarlet red. The only problem is that paint job would be ideal in say an entry foyer, or in a family room, but in a bedroom, it made it rather hard to relax much less sleep.So remember, if you have questions about painting, you want to probably considering hiring someone to do it for you.
