Church & Sons Painting
Tips From Jeff!
DON'T LET YOUR PAINTER GIVE YOU A POOR QUALITY PAINT JOB!
Watch what they're doing. These areas were not primed by the previous painter so the paint didn't adhere! You can't paint semi-gloss over semi-gloss.. that's like painting on plastic. It won't stick! I'll clean it up and paint it the right way. Call Church & Sons Painting for a high quality paint job every time!! |
TAPING OFF CARPETS!
When you're painting along a carpet line you have to make sure you tape that off too. Line up your tape and tuck it in between the baseboard and the carpet. Then paint! When you pull the tape off, the tape will pull your carpet up and you'll have a clean line with no paint on your carpet! There's your tip! Otherwise call me at 925-813-0006 and I'll gladly do the job for you! : |
WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
This morning I’m taking some time for myself because I need to touch up a room I’ve rented out. Since I’m just freshening up the room I want this project to be quick and clean. Here are a couple of tips to help make your small project an easy clean-up!
Take a close look at my roller pan. It’s lined with a couple of Safeway grocery bags. When I’m done rolling I’ll have a super easy time cleaning up. I just have to remove the plastic bags by turning them inside out. The pan will remain spotless and I’ll be able to use it again.
Now take a look at my brush. It’s wrapped inside a sandwich bag. Keeping the brush in the sandwich bag prevents it from drying out and keeps my brush moist with paint. A moist brush will ensure a smooth finish. Plus a wet brush is always easier to clean. Brushes are expensive. There’s no saving a dried up brush.
So there you go!.. a couple of simple tips to help make your clean up quick and easy.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!
Here's a perfect example of a painter taking a shortcut. This painter used semi-gloss paint over semi-gloss! Simply stated if it doesn't adhere it won't stick. All it takes is to brush up against this paint job with keys or lean against it with the metal buttons on your jeans and it will peel away. I stripped this coat of paint with my fingernail. My customer was shocked! From this point you can strip away this paint like a banana peel. A painter charged my customer for this poor workmanship. This trim should have been primed with a quality primer. Church & Sons promises a first class prep job which includes priming everything to ensure adherence and long lasting results! Absolutely no shortcuts. If you're gonna do it.. do it right. Or call Church & Sons Painting and we'll do it right!

DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR PAINT!
You know that stick the paint store gives you to stir your paint. Okay.. remember that stick. Did you know there are 16 cups in a gallon of paint Did you know a gallon of paint cost as much as $65 bucks? That means we’re paying up to $4.05 for a cup of paint! Wow.. paint’s expensive! So remember that stick? When you’re done with your roller use that stick to squeegee excess paint from your roller. You’ll be amazed how much you can save. You can use that extra paint for touch up. In this pic I squeegeed out ¾ of a cup of paint! I would have throw out over $3.00 worth of paint. So there you go. Another money saving tip from Church & Sons Painting!
