*When it comes to painting, the first step is preparation. Some suggestions include to remove the furniture from the room so that it does not get in the way, as well as, does not accidentally get paint on it. If you are unable to remove the furniture you can cluster it into one corner and cover it.
Next, vacuum the room to create a clean work area. Then cover the floor with drop cloths so that no paint ruins the floor. Also, take down any draperies or drapery hardware, and loosen light fixtures and wrap plastic bags around them. Lastly, remove any wall plates from electrical outlets and switches.
The next step is choosing the right type of paint for the job. Matte Finishes are also called a flat finish or wall paint, and are used for interior walls. This finish does not reflect light and may need to be touched up if scratches or marks occur. Flat Enamel is paint with a durable flat, matte finish.
This paint works well in powder rooms and halls. An eggshell finish has a slight hint of shine or gloss and is good for walls and holds up well. A satin finish works well for windows, doors, trims and ceilings. It is made to hold up to cleaning and light scrubbing. A semi-gloss is often used on doors, trims, and cabinets. It is easily cleaned and has a subtle shine.
Rust-Oleum brand paints recommends their Rust-Oleum Stops Rust line of products, including metal primers, spray paint for small touch up areas and roll on paint in quarts and gallons for larger projects.
Dunn Edwards recommends Enduragloss (comes in gloss only and in quarts only) after applying a metal primer.
Sherwin Williams recommends Pearl Industrial DTM (Direct to Metal) along with a primer and topcoat.
Benjamin Moore has a Corotech line that comes in semi-gloss and gloss and is an oil base. This can be applied after a rust inhibiting primer for best adhesion.
Do I need to prime before painting?
It is not necessary to put down a layer of primer when using self-priming paints, which can be sufficient in most cases. When not using a self-priming paint, the typical process is to first put down the primer to improve paint adhesion, then put down two coats of the paint.

Should I hire a painter or paint myself?
Is going for DIY painting the best worth it?
Renovations in your house can be quite costly, depending on what changes you would want. Well, as for painting, do not deny your house a new look and theme altogether by imposing those changes. So is it wise to hire a professional painter, or is it just cool to DIY? The answer will depend on a couple of considerations, but let us start with the basics.
You will have to get paint, which will cost you $30 – $60 per gallon, and a room might need about 2 gallons of paint. The paints usually have three different finishes: high-gloss, flat, and semi-gloss, and they all have different prices. A paint primer, which costs $7 – $15, is also necessary to give your work a smooth look. A roller for applying the paint and a drop cloth to secure your floor and furniture should also be on your shopping list. Additional considerations include the amount of space and the number of rooms that will be painted.
When you calculate all the materials that you would get, it will cost you about $200 – $300. These are only tools, but you will spend a lot of time painting the room and even more if you want to achieve a high-quality level. Hiring a professional painter will cost you about $25 – $100 per hour, and the guy will come with his tools and paint in some cases. It is better to hire one to achieve expertise and save cash.

We charge for all time included in a customer's project, including purchasing or delivering materials or for the time to haul away debris. This allows us to take on smaller projects for our office wall prep and home painting clients, rather than only lump sum projects with much higher minimums to show up.
Communication: We communicate appointment scheduling, invoicing, estimates, and more by phone and email to keep our painting customers “in the loop”.
Most projects get a 3 hour window of arrival, so expect something like 7:00am to 10:00am, or 10:00am to 1:00pm, or even 12:00pm to 3:00pm window.
