Pre-Holiday Painting Projects: 4 Tips To Get Started

This year’s holiday celebrations will be extra special after being unable to gather together last year due to the pandemic. America now understands that being physically together is a privilege that we may not get to do every year. So why not start the planning process now for the much anticipated holiday parties? Certapro painters can help you with all your interior painting projects to prepare your home for the holidays.

Four tips to help you begin your pre-holiday painting projects

Ask the correct questions

• Do you have many guests coming to stay for an extended holiday visit?
• Should you focus on your main living rooms that need a painting refresher?
• Do you have interior walls that need to be repaired prior to painting?

Our professional painters can help you decide which projects are the most important and should be completed prior to the holidays. Doing a walk through your home with our Certapro contractors and a pen and a paper is a great idea. Try to take notes so you will have references when you make your final decisions.

This is also a very thorough way to provide detailed guidelines for the painters to follow. This also allows our contractors to provide you with a more precise timeline and cost estimate of your project.

Is your kitchen a focal point during the holidays?

When family comes to visit, the kitchen quickly becomes a gathering center during the holidays. If  you always have a bunch of squatters chatting around your kitchen island, you may consider giving your cabinets a painting refresher. Newly painted cabinets will really brighten up your kitchen. They immediately stand out and become the key focal point of the room.

Does your crown molding and/or built in shelves need a painting update? Holiday decorations will call unwanted attention to old chipped door frames and molding. There are a lot of different interior surfaces you can refresh with new paint to give your home’s interior a refreshed holiday look. So remember, you can go beyond your walls when consulting with your Certapro painters

Ready to change colors?

What about changing up your whole color scheme for the holidays?

It is important to remember, when painting your home’s interior, colors from adjacent rooms should flow throughout the house. Abrupt bright, bold colors should not be placed next to one another.

Of course, all of your home’s walls do not have to be the same shade. However, the interior colors should at least follow a matching scheme. This is a great opportunity to utilize our Certapro professionals and their expertise. We can assist you in choosing appropriate colors that you will adore and your guests will envy during their holiday visit.

A few holiday painting project suggestions & questions to ask

When starting an interior painting project around/or prior to holiday time, it can be hard not to match your color palette with all your holiday decorations. However, it is important to remember that your wall’s colors will remain after this holiday season is long gone.

Here are a few questions to consider when planning your interior painting project:

• Where does your family actually stay during visiting time?
• Do you play board games in the den until late at night?
• Does everyone gravitate to the kitchen even when food is not being prepared?
• Do you even use your formal dining room?
• Do you all eat surrounding the TV in the living room watching holiday movies or sports?

These important questions provide valuable insight that will guide your project to success. When you hire great professionals like Certapro, your pre-holiday painting project will be no stress at all.
