Why should I paint my house?
Not only is it important from a cosmetic standpoint, it also protects your home. Think of the paint job as the skin of the exterior or interior of your home/business. It protects the interior and exterior surface areas from the elements. It also creates a mood, especially in the interior of your home.
What colors are the best colors and why?
Simply put, color affects mood. Red, yellow, and orange are considered the warm colors which incite happy, excitable moods and stimulation. Blue, green, and purple are called the cool colors because they’re relaxing and peaceful. The light colors, like beige or any off white are spacious and uplifting.
Does it matter what type brush I use?
Absolutely. Not only does it matter what type and size brush you use, it even matters if you should USE a brush AT ALL. In many cases a roller or a sprayer will provide better results than a brush. Frankly it depends on the thickness of the paint, the texture of the surface, and even the weather.
Can I paint over my vinyl siding or do I have to take it all down?
Yes, you can paint over vinyl siding. Not only is it cheaper and easier than replacing vinyl siding, painting over vinyl siding can look great too if you use the right paint. It can change the whole appearance of the house, you can do it more than once, and it provides quite a unique look if done properly.
