The method used to apply the paint varies, depending on the type of paint and the surface itself. For example, oil-based paint is best applied with a roller, and latex based paint can be sprayed onto the surface. The size of the project, the colors used and the layout of the walls also can affect the method used.

Another tip to maintain an even finish when cutting-in is to hold your brush parallel to the adjacent surface then draw a 2' - 3' long paint line in one continuous motion about 1/2" -1" away from the edge, until most of the paint that was on your brush has released onto the surface. This will apply the paint evenly along the line, then you can immediately go back over it to bring your cut line closer to the corner without the fear of having so much excess paint on your brush.

Having now successfully completed several exterior and interior projects on my home, the Catchlight team feels like old friends. So I asked Nigel if there really was a way to guarantee that you hire the right painter. He admitted that when it comes to paint contractors, “it’s a bit of the Wild West.” With no formal training or licensing, anyone with a brush can be a painter. But he went on, there are tell-tail signs of a reputable company and important steps that a homeowner can take to ensure that they hire the best painter for their project. Here is what Nigel recommends: Above: Due to extensive wear, detailing, and paint build-up, historic houses like this circa 1890 farmhouse, in Shropshire, England, often need professional handling in order to achieve smooth finish.

These tips can greatly reduce any issues with interior air quality during or after a painting project and can help you take advantage of the savings associated with off-season bookings.
Wow, this sounds like a really extensive project that you went through! I had no idea that so much effort could go into painting a home. I have been meaning to paint my own home very soon, but I am not sure whether I have the time or the skill to be able to do all of this. I might just try one room to see how I do, and then see if I will be brave enough to attempt the rest. However, it might be a good idea for me to get help with this, otherwise it definitely won’t end up looking as great as yours! http://www.jpspainting.org/About-Us.html Lisa February 25, 2015 A Beautiful Mess February 25, 2015
For the best results, use ceiling specific paints, as regular paints are thinner; the thicker ceiling paints tend to drip and splatter less, resulting in better finishing.
In both bedrooms there were holes knocked in the walls by the door handles (easily avoided with a $1 doorstop.) The holes were too big to patch with just spackle, so I got a couple of hole patches. They are sold near the spackles in your home improvement store. The directions are easy to follow, and they work! After paint, you wouldn’t know there once were big ol’ ugly holes. We used spackle to cover nail holes, minor cracks, and imperfections throughout the house. I tried a lot of different spackles in this house. My favorite one for minor repairs is Fast N Final. It applies easily, dries in a few minutes, and doesn’t require a whole lot of sanding.
