CertaPro Painters Offers Paint It Pink this October

As we head into autumn, you may be looking at drab walls and dinged doorways. Before the family dinners and holiday events, get your home in tip top shape with new paint. Book your Paint It Pink project for October and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

CertaPro Painters of Aurora, IL, has partnered with Breast Cancer Research Foundation to Paint it Pink. The goal is to raise $25K during the month of October to bring awareness and help fund breast cancer research. CertaPro Painters of Aurora will be donating $5 from every residential interior paint job completed between October 1–31st.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms are a great place to get your bang for your buck. Let’s face it, guests will likely need to visit this room while in your home. Because the room is relatively small, it’s a small paint job that can have a big impact. And since the room is generally out of eye sight line from other rooms, this is one place you can get creative with your color choices. A crisp new color will allow the bathroom to flourish as a clean and stylish respite.

Common Areas

Formal living and dining rooms are often forgotten about, since they are rarely used. An updated color creates a new warmth in the areas you will spend time with family members. Carrying a color scheme through the area will give you a magazine worthy home to put your loved ones in.

Kitchens

Kitchens are considered splash zone areas. Stains and smears are prevalent on wall paint. When you choose a paint for your kitchen, remember the finish is just as important as the color. Choosing a semi-gloss or glossy finish will allow you to clean messes. These finishes stand up to scrubbing and messes that would stain and ruin others.

So while you are working on your plans for the holidays, know that we are working with BCRF for the betterment of those with breast cancer. Read more about how CertaPro Painters® of Aurora has been impacted on a personal level by this disease.
