Hiring a House Painter in Tucson: What He Must Have, and What You Must Know (Conclusion)

As we covered previously, a professional painter in Tucson knows what to do.

A Tucson Painter Knows About Color Complementing

A professional Tucson painter will know to work with your floor color. This sounds odd, but one of the most common errors people make in choosing a paint color is not taking into account the way wall colors will look against the color of their floor. This makes a lot of sense if you think about it. A lot of people get excited at giving their room a new look, so they are focused solely on the walls of their place.   But what's the best way to avoid this potential pitfall?

A painting contractor will always paint chosen samples from paint color charts in the corners of rooms to see how they look in the shadows and alongside the floors before going full steam ahead with painting the entire room. Using Rollers. For the exterior, he will use rollers for the larger surfaces and brushes for the edges, trims and smaller areas. For the interior, rollers are the more efficient options as they give a smoother finish and cover more area at a time. Tape must be used to cover out areas you do not want painted and to make even lines at edges and corners, which can be removed once the paint is dry for a picture perfect look. But how do you know what the color will look like in all types of light?  Simple, just start in the shade.

House Painting in the Right Light

On an overcast day, you can have a more accurate look of how the color looks. In addition, painting in direct sunlight or applying paint to a sun-baked surface will make fresh paint dry too quickly. As a result, it won't adhere well and will blister and flake prematurely. So begin painting on the shady side of the house. Then wait for sun to move and the other sides of the house to become shaded or just paint on an overcast day.

Here's a helpful painting tip for you:  use binder clips to suspend brushes in cleaning solvent. When cleaning brushes, you never want to let the brush rest on the bottom of the solvent container. A simple way to create a brush holder that suspends the brush to the desired height in the solvent is simply by using a splayed-out binder clip.

Mental focus matters. House painting requires a great deal of mental focus on your part. It is all about putting aside all the thoughts bouncing in your head, focusing on that yard of ceiling or wall you need painted. This sounds simple, but it will make for better results and less mess.

If you want our honest advice, don't try to paint your home yourself.  We have a lot of customers that either hired someone that wasn't a professional painter, or they tried to do it themselves.  Their reasons?  They thought that they could save money.  Want the easier way to save money?  Hire a professional painting contractor in Tucson.
