It’s just about impossible to keep your floors free of paint drops. But a good canvas or cotton drop cloth will do a better job than plastic sheets. Paint drops stay wet after they fall on plastic and you can track a single drop all around your house. Cloth drop sheets also stay in place better, they aren’t as slippery as plastic and they are safer for ladders.

Good interior painting contractors take care to protect surfaces and belongings that are not to be painted. This includes masking and taping all light fixtures, hardware, electrical plates and light switch plates. Door knobs, towel racks, baseboards and other objects are usually removed so that the walls behind them are completely painted. Drop cloths are usually carefully arranged to protect unmovable furniture or flooring. The best contractors will also remove old wallpaper or flaking paint and fill in nail holes and wall damage before beginning to paint. Exterior paint is more durable to stand up to weather and the fading effects of the sun. It also must remain flexible to resist peeling and cracking as a result of temperature changes. Some exterior paints have mildew preventers and fungus resistant additives, while others have UV resistant coatings that help them last longer than traditional exterior paints.

You may need to do this sooner in a child’s bedroom since the walls will most likely encounter more wear and tear. Areas that experience more foot traffic, like hallways, need to be painted more often —generally between two to three years. This will keep them free of scratches, scuffs, and other blemishes.
Hey, folks. It’s Josh. I’ve been super busy these past couple of months working on our HFHS project house. As we mentioned in our last update, the house is coming along, and we can’t wait to share more with you soon. We’ve learned a LOT while working on this project! One task we recently completed was painting all of the interior. A lot more goes into painting than you might guess, so I thought it would be fun to share a thorough breakdown of everything we encountered and learned as we painted this house. If you have any big painting projects in your future, I highly recommend you check out some of these tips and lessons we learned so hopefully your project goes smoothly.
