It can be intimidating to take on an interior painting project. The myriad of brushes, rollers, and paint types can be overwhelming to even the best DIY-ers. Our professionals have compiled a list of our top three interior painting tips. Following these tips will make the painting process easier and the final product better. Our professionals have painted thousands of home interiors across the United States and perfected the art of interior painting. Here is what we have to share with you!

Clean and Prep the Area

There is nothing that is more important than thoroughly preparing both the room and yourself for the interior paint job. For the best finish possible, it is recommended that you remove doors and use drop cloths to cover any surface you don’t want paint on (floors, furniture, etc.). The area that is going to be painted should be cleaned with the proper equipment as well. A dirty wall will make it difficult for the new paint to adhere to. The cleaner the surface, the better the result.

Typically, a wet rag with a small bit of soap should get the job done. If you notice any peeling, cracking, or flaking on your surface, you’ll want to stop and find the route of the problem. More often than not, new coats of paint don’t last as long because there is damage underneath. Once all of this is taken care of, you’re good to continue on to the next step!

Get the Proper Tools

Our next house painting tip pertains to the shopping phase of painting. Don’t go cheap on your materials! The quality of paint and paint brushes will have just as much effect on the longevity and aesthetics of your wall as cleaning does. The type of paint you use should especially be taken into consideration. Good quality paints have certain additives that will help your paint last longer. Depending on where you live, you may even want to consider paints that are good at protecting against certain weather.
