More Scheduling Options
Painting companies typically book up quickly in the spring and summer months. The fall and winter seasons offer more flexible scheduling options and faster estimates to project completion times. Painting is fairly seasonal, but interior projects can be done year-round, we are open and operating through the winter months. We also often offer fall and winter discounts, saving you some money for scheduling in the off-season.
Give Priorities
When dealing with a painting project on a budget and shortened timeline, it’s going to be important to recognize what needs to be painted and what you want to be painted. For example, a splattered or damaged wall in the kitchen may need to be painted, while an outdated guest bath you’d like to have painted. Going into an estimate with this sort of list will give you the flexibility for work that can get more accomplished.
Think About the Colors
Knowing in advance what colors you want to use will save you some time. However, we do offer professional color consulting services where an interior designer will work with you to find good options in colors you like. Color consultants also have an eye for what colors pair well and flow well from room to room.
Focus on key areas
It’s important to keep in mind the context of each room. Areas where visitors will be vs private rooms for you or family members. Areas like the kitchen and living room may have different considerations for this reason when it comes to color or sheen. A bedroom that is for one family member can be a little bolder and to that person’s specific tastes.
Kitchen
One room that is sure to have extra traffic over the holidays is the kitchen. Updating the wall paint is one way to get a clean feel. You also have the option to paint kitchen cabinets. It’s a big-impact and cost-effective way to make sure your kitchen looks new. Kitchen cabinet jobs can take a bit more time but give the most impact for the effort.
