House Painters In Charlotte:how To Pick The Best Painters

Today most paints are latex based, both exterior as well as interior

. That allows for a quicker, easier cleanup with water, as well as a tremendous reduction in odor for the painter and the homeowner.

One of the greatest innovations in painting for the consumer to come along in years is the advent of computerized color matching devices. I am reminded of the TV spot for the large d.i.y. home improvement retailer where the daughter wants to dye her hair purple to match the color the store matched from a pillow she had. This allows the customer to match even the most faded color, if that is what they wish.

Now there are so many additives that are available that allow paint manufacturers to offer the consumer formulations to resist fading and chipping, mold and other fungi resistance, all the way to offering totally odor-free formulations for those with allergies.

There are now even additives that allow the paint to have different textures, often used in faux painting. This technique allows a consumer to create different optical illusions that can be used to change the overall look of a room, or just to hide a bad sheet rock job.

One of the biggest areas of potential concern and confusion for the consumer revolves around preparation for the final paint coats. For most professional painters, the majority of their time should be spent in preparation for painting. Cleaning and sanding surfaces, taping and applying paper or plastic to surfaces not to be painted typically should take up 50% or more of the painter's total time budget. Anything less could affect the overall quality of the job.

Another area of confusion, and potential abuse, concerns priming the surface to be painted. Primer is a thin paint solution applied to the surface to be painted that primes (prepares) the surface to accept the final coats. It is typically color coordinated to support the finish coat, and is designed to allow the finish coats to stick to the primer itself.

Most professional paint contractors offer free consulting services. When their instructions and materials are used, guarantees of 5 to 20 years are available as to the quality of the finished paint job.
