SEPA are The Top Commercial Painting Contractors in Dublin

If your front door is in need of repainting, but you are hesitant to do the work because of how much labor you will have to put into it, we want to tell you that it really isn’t that bad of a job. A lot of homeowners assume that they need to take the door off its hinges in order to paint it, but that’s not the case. You can save yourself a lot of work and actually do a better paint job, if you just leave the door to hang on its hinges.

Before you paint your home’s interior, you do need to do some prep work, though. You should start by inspecting your door for cracks, bubbles and peeling paint. You can take off the paint that has peeled and fill in cracks and holes with wood filler. Use a quick drying one to ensure that you can get started on the painting soon. To deal with rough surfaces, you may need to sand some and smooth them out.

Next, lay down some painter’s tape on the hinges and parts of the wall where the door is likely to touch. You want to cover any place where paint can move from the painted door to somewhere it isn’t supposed to go. That way, you won’t have much cleanup to do when you are finished. Then lay down painter’s cloth so that there is no mess to clean up on the floor.

After you do all that, you are prepared to start applying primer to the door. Not all doors need primer, but if there is already paint on the door, and it is in poor condition, then a coat of primer will be very beneficial. Make sure you prime the entire door, and that includes the edges.

Then you can put on a coat of paint. You will want to begin painting on the hinged side of the door. That will allow you to close the door while parts of it are still drying, as that part will dry first. Paint in even layers and use the same stroke up and down. Using the up and down stroke allows you to cover the most area in the shortest amount of time, and using a consistent stroke all the way across makes the finished paint job look spectacular.

You don’t have to use a hand paintbrush for the entire door. You can just use that brush for those areas that need precision painting. You can use a foam roller for the majority of the work; just be careful about any splatter that this tool can create as you roll up and down along the door.

There is no need to take the door off its hinges to paint it, if you follow our advice.

We hope these tips save you some time and make your work go much smoother and faster. If you have followed our advice, you should have very little to clean up and you should have a fantastic looking door.

Professional Interior Painters and Decorators

A lot of the romantic gift ideas have become so cliched that nothing seems like a surprise anymore. Flowers, chocolate, teddy bears and such all make perfectly acceptable gifts, but if you want something a bit different, then you can try one of these touch up ideas to surprise that special someone in your life and give them a gift they can appreciate for years to come.

We have a few suggestions here for ways that you can touch up your home with some small painting jobs. Most of these are every simple and yet make a nice impact on the home, improving its value and aesthetic appeal.

Repaint the Doors
Probably the part of the exterior house painters that would provide the most visual impact if you repainted it would be the front or back door. You can paint either the interior of the door, the exterior or both, depending on how much time you have and how much paint you have to work with.
A bold color will make it stand out, but try to pick something that you know your spouse will be okay with. Be sure to consider the effects on sunlight and weathering on the paint and choose something that is appropriate for the location of the door.

Touch Up the Bathroom
The bathroom is a small room, in most cases, so you can forgo the touch up to just repaint the entire room, if you have the time and paint available for it. You could also just give it some colorful accents, painting the trim, molding and fixtures in matching colors to give it an entirely new look. Changing up the color scheme in the bathroom can create an entirely new atmosphere in there, and you can make it lighter and brighter by the addition of some reflective colors.

Recolor the Interior Trims
The molding and trims through the house or commercial premises need to be painted and so should receive a colorful touch up as well. By repainting these, you can add a splash of color and elegance to the entire house, and let your spouse see the hard work you put in no matter which room of the house he or she may be in. If you have wood trim, then it probably has a lot of nicks and scratches on it, and you can cover those up and give your trim and your home a new look by doing this simple paint job.

These are all fairly simple jobs that should not take long. There are other touch up jobs that you can do, such as repainting some or all of the kitchen or just doing the walls in a single room. You want to pick something that is in need of touch up and that your spouse will appreciate. You can slip the idea of repainting something causally into conversation to gauge your spouse’s interest and then do the work yourself to be a surprise. You may just find that this is one of the most appreciated gifts you ever gave.

Many homeowners don’t bother to paint their garage floor because they think it will just get messy and not look very nice after a while. They are concerned that all the work and time they put unto painting it will not pay off, as it will quickly be dirtied by the activity that happens there.

However, there are some definite benefits to painting your garage floor. First and foremost is the reduction of dust. Once you paint the floor, you will have a lot less dust, as the paint will cover the flooring materials and put a new coat over it that is less likely to create dust. That is going to make for a much more pleasant place to work, and it will also make it easier to clean that garage. You should not have to sweep up as often once you paint the floor.

Painting the floor also allows you to make the space your own. You can personalize it and give it a new look that is uniquely your own, and you will likely love how it looks after it is finished.

Another benefit to painting your garage floor is that you can make the entire room look brighter and lighter without having to add in or turn on more lights.
