Placeholder ImageDoing Interior Painting While You Have Children Around the House Here is what we advise during your interior painting project if you have small children.

It’s wonderful to have children around the house. They bring great joy to the family, and we wouldn’t give them up for anything! If you have one or many children, you understand that messes are part of the deal. Because things can get messy with kids, your walls are going to need some touch-ups at some point. Sometimes, this will involve having interior painting done. Just keep in mind that interior painting will require a different approach when you have young children. Here is what we advise during your interior painting project if you have small children.

Deciding on a Paint Color

Walls will get dirty over time no matter what wall you have, but it’s even tougher to keep walls clean when you have kids at home. It sometimes feels like messes arise before you have a chance to clean up the last one.

Because of this, factor potential future messes into your interior painting project. You can do this by choosing a paint color that will conceal messes. Darker colors are better for hiding stains, but you can still use certain lighter tones. Choosing cream color instead of pure white, for example, can help you achieve a certain look while still being more prepared for messes in the future. You can also use greys, tans, or even certain shades of blue if they’re not too light.

What Are Some Good Paint Sheens for Children?

If you have any small children, the ability to scrub down your walls is highly valuable. Paint that comes off the moment you attempt to wash your walls isn’t going to get you anywhere, and you’ll soon be left with an unappealing home interior.

Semi-gloss paint is a phenomenal countermeasure for dealing with dirt. It’s washable, sturdy and resistant to stains. Make sure that you’re investing in a high-quality paint as well because they have more durability than paints of lower quality.

Use Low VOC Paints

Health is always something that should be valued, and you don’t want anyone breathing in potentially harmful chemicals. This is especially true for children, and fortunately, there is a way to keep them safer around the house. The answer is low-VOC paints. These paints are a little pricier than other paints, but the extra protection your kids get will make it worth the investment. There’s no price you can place on a child’s safety.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
