Of course, how smooth your painted surfaces will look majorly depends on the climate of the area, but if you stick to the guidelines we have discussed here, you are sure to have an unblemished finish. Before you start painting, get your siding in top shape. Repair cracks and holes in finishes such as stucco, replace any rotten wood and treat insects and mold. Putty surface pitting and seal seams. If you want to remove peeling or cracking paint, you can sandblast. Follow up this with a power wash and ensure you apply the recommended amount of pressure.After power wash, allow your surfaces to dry completely so that you will have no trapped moisture under your paint. Also, in case it rains heavily, gives your house time to dry. Observe the weather to ensure that painting is done when the weather is dry and mild

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a trusted consumer rating body that grades businesses based on collective criteria. In addition to finding their grade, be sure to check how long the paint contractor has been a member. Also, confirm that any complaints have been resolved. The BBB will still afford a good rating if a business has addresses issues in a timely manner. Questionable painting contractors will have either a lower grade or no BBB affiliation at all.
Always make sure not to rub too hard or to use an abrasive sponge or cleanser, as this may dull the finish, particularly on flat paint.

Another great tutorial. You guys really put out some great and helpful posts. I was especially happy to see that you kept the popcorn ceiling! I feel like there is so much pressure to get rid of your popcorn ceiling if you have it, but it is so expensive especially if you have asbestos.

If you’ve decided you want to move ahead and start your own painting business, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind.
If you can't isolate a color you love – and love in your home – then look for inspiration. Some ideas are probably right in front of you while others may require some searching. Consider: The color of your upholstery, rugs or throw pillows The dominant color in a favored print or work of art The trim on a piece of furniture you'd like to highlight (since choosing a complementary paint color will make that furniture “pop”) Magazines, catalogs or Pinterest (a treasure trove of ideas, as long as you have the time to browse) 4) The Color Wheel:
I can walk across a side of the home and measure how many arm spans wide that side of the home is, then estimate how tall it is and get a surprisingly close guesstimate to the square footage of that side of the home.
