Paint and primer will likely cost the same no matter where you live, but labor is another story. For one, hourly labor rates will be higher in big cities than small towns. Higher rates obviously make a higher overall cost of professional painting.
At the end of each day, the painting crew cleans up around your home, ensuring any paint chips are removed and all materials are stored neatly away.
Exterior paint also needs a dry surface for an even coat and proper adherence. Unfortunately, moisture isn’t a problem in Texas right now. If a fluke rain storm does occur, it’s best to wait at least one full day before painting. Your professional painting company can discuss your exterior paint job to help you understand when is the optimal time for repainting.
Holes are a little less common, sometimes caused by a tree limb or a pest like a raccoon or squirrel. We have seen holes in virtually ever location you can think of on a home. Perhaps the most common that we see is a hole in the siding of a chimney. Oftentimes, they are located at the base of were the chimney meets the roof. Since they are high up and usually out of sight, many homeowners don’t even realize there is a problem until a family of raccoons move into the attic. Trust us from personal experience… you don’t want that!
We love classics in an old home. A crisp, fresh white in an old home looks anything but boring. In fact, it can help beautiful trim work stand out more. We also like using classic accent colors to bring out detail work or lines on porches, eaves and gables. The right charcoal grey on the exterior of an old home can update it from shabby to stately. And updating that avocado green to a more modern sage can bring new life into an old washroom.
From there, you can select interior colors that provide a smooth transition as people walk through the front door. It’s important to think about the accents in and around your home, such as furniture, decorations, patio pieces, and more. Think about your front entry door, as this will be the focal point of your exterior. You can paint the inside and the outside of your front door indifferent colors. However, it is important to match it with the borders seen from either the inside or the outside. These features may seem small and insignificant on their own, but together they will either make or break the entire aesthetic of your home.

Few things say 'welcome to our home' quite like the front door. Over time, a front door gets exposed to the normal wear and tear of the elements and needs to be refinished. Hiring a painting contractor to save the wood by refinishing it can be a better option in the...
If you’re looking to cut costs for a paint job, consider purchasing the materials yourself and doing some of the prep work. For example, you can consider cleaning the walls for the painters to remove any dirt, mould, or dust.

There are other types of custom paint jobs that professionals can complete, including painting textured walls to add dimension to a space, using faux painting techniques to replicate the look of other materials, painting accent walls for a pop of color, and painting two-tone walls to make your space seem more interesting. Some of these techniques are usually only contained to interior paint jobs, such as painting accent walls or two-tone walls. Both these techniques have the biggest impact in a room where all the walls are visible from one spot.
Loving the exterior colours. Along with the cornices it makes those '80's pine log houses look brand new.
Most house paints today are latex based paints. There are not many oil based paints anymore for ecology friendly reasons. Latex paint is getting better and clean up is easy with water. When it comes to painting metal trim or fixtures oil based paints may be best, but oil based paint is getting harder to find. When unsure about the best paint to use I suggest contacting a professional paint store for the best answers.
