Placeholder ImagePreparations You Can Make Before Painting Your Room Here’s what you can do around your home before a painting project begins.

Do you have dull, bland walls in your house? If so, you may be thinking about painting those walls to give your home some new life. Some people try taking on painting projects themselves, but going with a professional painting company will often yield you a better result. However, there are still things you can do to contribute to a painting project, such as getting the area ready for painting. Here’s what you can do around your home before a painting project begins.

Prep the Room

Painting is much easier when there aren’t any obstructions. This is why you should take some time to empty out your room as much as you can before your contractor arrives. Bring furniture towards the middle of your room and cover them up with large cloths so that paint won’t drip on them later.

You’ll also want to wipe down your walls. While it doesn’t seem important at first, it helps get rid of any dirt and dust that has built up over time. Getting rid of the debris on your walls will let your paint adhere to your walls more easily.

Test Paint Colors

Knowing which color of paint you want can be tricky. Rather than apply it to your entire wall and hope for the best, we recommend testing paint colors in smaller areas. Then, observe how the color looks at different times of day. This will tell you whether or not you should go with that color.

Find the Right Company for the Job

We suggest going with a professional painting company because experts know what procedures need to be done to ensure the highest quality paint job for your room. With that said, not all companies are the same, so you’ll need to do your research on which company to trust. How much experience do they have? Are they licensed and insured? When do they expect the project to be finished? Getting these questions answered will help you determine the right company to work for you.

Spending Money on Materials

It takes more than a paintbrush and some paint to get a room painted the way you want. You’ll need other tools such as roller extenders and a ladder. These come at a price, so you’ll need to factor in the price of these materials before you start painting. If you hire a painting contractor, they should already have the materials needed to complete the job, but you should address this concern with them ahead of time just to be sure.

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!!
