Placeholder ImageInterior Painting: How To Pick The Right Paint Ask yourself these questions when doing interior painting around your home.

When people think about interior painting, they often think about color. Color is undoubtedly a significant factor, and it can have a tremendous impact on how your home looks and feels. But color is only one of the factors that need to be considered when you pick out your paint. Ask yourself these questions when doing interior painting around your home.

How Much Activity Will Take Place In The Room?

If you are painting a room where there will be a lot of people running through the area, it’s possible the walls could get smudged by fingerprints among other things. If this is a strong possibility, consider using high-gloss paint. Glossier paints resist stains better, making it harder for your walls to get dirty. If your room isn’t very active, you have more freedom for what interior painting you want.

How Sensitive Are You To The Smell Of Paint?

Some paints have stronger smells than others. For people who don’t tolerate the smell of paint well, go with a water-based latex paint instead of an oil-based one. Oil-based paints have a stronger scent.

How Often Do You Want To Repaint?

When doing interior painting, you’ll eventually have to repaint your room. Some paints last longer than others, so it’s essential to consider how often you plan on repainting. For those looking for a low-maintenance choice, acrylic latex paint will last a long time and will look fresh for longer than most other paints.

How Much Money Do You Plan On Spending?

You get what you pay for when choosing what paint to use. You could go with paint at a lower price. The drawback is that these paints often suffer in quality. While you may not want to dump more money into your paint, you might still want to do this. Investing in more expensive paint means investing in paint of higher quality, which will leave you with happier results in the future.

What Room Are You Painting?

Some things don’t match in a house. An example is carpeting in a bathroom because you run the risk of mold. Likewise, interior painting isn’t for every room. As it turns out, there are paints nowadays that are designed for rooms susceptible to molds, such as the bathroom and kitchen.

How Much Sun Will The Walls Get?

Before you start your interior painting, you want to think about how much sun your walls will get. A great deal of sun exposure can result in your paint fading quickly. Oil-based paints usually chalk or fade if it is hit with too much sun. On the other hand, latex paints are more resilient against bright sunlight.

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!!
