How to select that perfect Accent color.

Considering doing an accent wall in the room you are looking to paint but having a difficult time choosing that perfect accent color?

   It is most likely your accent wall will be the darker of the two colors you choose. A simple way to help you make this decision is to choose the lighter color first then from the same color sample strip select a color that is the darkest.
     This reduces the chance of a clash between the two colors. Selecting a color from a different color strip can be risky.

  The two colors may look good in the paint store but when you gat a full room of the colors they may not coordinate as you had hoped. 

 Keep in mind also that the darker of the two colors may likely need 2 or more finish coat to get the color depth needed. Darker colors contrary to popular belief do not cover as well as most lighter colors today.

  The long story made short for this is that the tint used in todays pant is not as good as previous years in terms of coverage.

Yes you can paint your vinyl siding.

  First things first, Clean the siding. If you have a power washer use it or consider renting one. What ever you decide, the siding must be clean. Failing to clean the siding properly will result in problems.     Use care in your color selection. The siding on your home expands and contracts with temperature changes. Changing from a very light color (white) to a very dark color can cause your siding to expand to much during hot weather (even on the shady side of the house). This will cause your siding to buckle. You do not want this to happen.   There are seams where you siding overlaps. Use caution and do not apply to much paint at these lap points. To much paint can prevent the needed siding movement and cause your siding to buckle.   After you apply the first coat it is likely that the siding may contract overnight as the temperature cools. It is likely you will find a small (miss) at you lap points. The siding contracted a...

Painting your new home yourself to save money? Here are some questions you need answers to first.

   Taking on the task of painting your new home can be a rewarding and money saving DIY project. It can also be a nightmare. I have just a few questions you should give some thought to before you take on this project.  #1  Just how much money will you save?    Here in the mid-west the normal cost for a professional paint job (including labor and materials) on new construction is  3% of the cost of constructing the new home.    Example, if the construction cost of your new home is $250,000 it would be $7,500. Of that cost the materials will account for about $2,500 to $3,000. #2 What are your (as the painter) Responsibilities? Sight clean up.    If you have ever entered a new home after the dry wall has been just finished the mess left behind is huge. Scrap dry wall, dry wall dust and miscellaneous debris fill the home. Check with your general contractor on who's responsibility it is to remove this debris and clean t...
