Placeholder Imageinterior-painting-middletown Interior painting requires preparation and lots of patience.

These tips apply whether or not you decide to DIY or hire a painting contractor, so anyone can benefit from them! However, don’t forget how tiring interior paint can be when deciding on DIY or a contractor. If you have any doubts, always hire a professional!

Go with neutral colors

Unless you’re sure you will want the guest bedroom to have look-at-me orange walls for a while, it’s safe to go with neutral colors. White looks great in most rooms, but can be hard to clean, so you may wish to avoid white interior painting in high traffic areas. Beiges, taupes, grays, off-whites, and other soft colors are excellent choices that easily match room themes.

This isn’t to say bold, vibrant colors aren’t a good idea. Bright colors look great—just make sure you’re prepared to keep it around for a while. And remember, the brighter the color, the more time consuming the paint job.

Remember, paint finish matters!

Previously, we discussed the differences between paint finishes glosses. These differences really DO matter! Make sure the gloss (or lack thereof) is appropriate for the room(s) when it comes to interior painting.

Prep, prep, prep

Interior painting is far more than just opening a can of paint and dipping in a roller. There’s a certain amount of preparation you will need to take depending on your walls. This may include cleaning, sanding, patching of blemishes, and more. The better the prep, the nicer your paint job will turn out.

Of course, when hiring a painting contractor, the prep is taken care of for you. And experienced paint contractors like Albaugh & Sons can give you other interior painting tips, such as the best colors and gloss for your home.

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!!
