Painting Homes Successfully for Nearly Thirty Years
A plan to beautify and protect your home in Ridgefield, CT or surrounding areas with a new coat of paint can start as a do-it-yourself plan of action, but painting can often become what was a seemingly simple weekend project to spread some paint around into an involved program of remediation and restoration to the surfaces being painted before a drop of paint goes on. Gallo Paint house painters are professionals that have the knowledge and experience to handle any interior or exterior painting project from planning through preparation to application and cleanup.
Ways for a paint job to go wrong
Cheap paint—why bother painting at all? Cheap paint seems like an economical choice at the time of purchase, but it will not apply as smoothly or completely as more reliable paint brands. Cheap paint will not perform against the elements like a more trusted brand and will not only need to be repainted sooner, but may need more surface prep (removing chips and blisters) before the next paint job begins.
Poor prep—the basis of a good-looking, long-lasting paint job is literally that: the base surface that is being painted. The quality and professional technique of the paint’s application will reveal itself over time. As the paint ages, deficiencies or defects in the surface or the preparation of the surface will become apparent and will cause the paint to fail. The time and effort taken in preparing a surface to accept the new paint are investments in the longevity of the paint treatment.
Bad weather—the best paint job goes on when the atmosphere is dry and the temperatures are moderate. A smart painter knows what conditions are best for paint application. Temperatures or humidity levels that are too low or too high can cause paint to perform poorly after application. Painting in direct sunlight makes the job harder, too, by causing the paint to dry too quickly or to spread ineffectively.
Wrong equipment—some paint types or finishes depend on specific types of brushes or rollers to go on smoothly and look great after drying. Poor-quality equipment will make the job harder and look less professional. Brushes come in natural and synthetic bristles. Do you know which type to use?
