Frequently Asked Questions about Interior Painting

Here are some common questions we get asked from prospective customers. For even more information about our approach to painting, take a moment to view our FAQ page.

What is a ‘paint system’ and which is appropriate for my project?

A paint system is the entire coating system, including applicable primers, color coats, and top coats. The appropriate paint system varies greatly depending on what substrate/surface we are painting, what the desired outcome is, and a cost/benefit analysis for the options available. Your estimator can discuss recommendations for your particular scenario and the thought process behind it when they come to your home for the estimate.

What is the purpose of primer and when it is needed?

Primer is formulated to create an adhesive bond with the substrate and “soak in” to the surface to create a uniform surface on which the top coat to be applied. Additionally, some primers can be used to inhibit stains or odors from coming through the paint surface. In many instances, previously coated surfaces both interior and exterior do not require a primer, as the adhesive bond has already been established with the existing coatings. In these scenarios “spot priming” areas that are concerning, such as bare wood/drywall or anywhere stains are a concern is the appropriate course of action.

How many coats of paint are appropriate for my project?

The answer to this question varies significantly depending on the current condition of the surface, the quality of the paint, the previous color, the new color, and the application method. As long as you disclose to us your new color scheme and desired paint option at the time of the estimate, we will include “Guaranteed Coverage” which means that we will apply as many coats as necessary to ensure you have a consistent color and sheen across the entire surface, and also we guarantee we will meet the manufacturer’s recommended coating thickness so that all paint warranties will be in effect.

What is elastomeric paint?

An elastomeric coating is a specially designed coating that is applied very thick and will have significant stretch capabilities (i.e. it is elastic) when the coating has dried. These coatings are generally used for stucco and masonry to provide a watertight coating that can expand and contract along with the substrate.

How long does it take the new paint to dry?

Most of the paints we use will dry to the touch within 2-4 hours of when we apply the coating, and they will cure within 2-4 days of when they are applied.

How long should the new paint job last?

Because interior coating does not see exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures, they will typically last as long as they are still visually appealing to you, in terms of color, sheen, and physical damage This can be many decades unless there is a lot of physical damage.

Will I save money if I buy the materials?

CertaPro Painters is one of the largest consumers of paint in this part of the country. This allows us to negotiate very competitive prices with top paint suppliers. This also allows us to pass this discount onto our customers. Paint is literally in our name.

Is there a difference between hand-brushed on and sprayed on paint?

There is a difference. But there are more important factors that will influence the success or failure of your painting project.

The most important thing is that we ensure each surface gets the appropriate amount of paint applied, and that the paint gets pushed into all of the cracks and crevices of the surface we are painting.

The main difference between spray vs roll paint is in the efficiency of the team applying the product. And, as mentioned above, how the surface has been prepared prior to painting.

What does VOC mean?

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. Colorado has the strictest regulations when it comes to VOCs in coatings. Most of the products we use will be Zero-VOC, and all of our products we use are Low-VOC & well under any dangerous levels.

Are more expensive paints better?

Not always. The key is to get the most bang for your buck. If your paint lasts 20 years, but your exterior caulking fails in 12, you’re going to be repainting no matter which paint you purchase.

CertaPro’s goal is to have expert knowledge on paint and surfaces. To put together the big-picture lifespan of your paint job in a way that matches up with your goals & needs and doesn’t break the bank.
