House Painting Process

House painting is a job we usually reserve for a weekend. But when all the steps and tools necessary start to add up, painting your house can become overwhelming. Here is a brief overview of what painting looks like with Ekras Paint & Flooring.

• Select Your Paint Color: Choosing your paint color may be more difficult than you expect. With seemingly endless options and all the different shades of white, how do you start? Our designers offer a curated selection of our favorite paint colors.

• Cover the area: We don't want dust or paint getting where it doesn't need to be. Our house painters' first step is to lay drop cloths and plastic over the floors and furniture in the space we are painting.

• Prep the Walls: Since a smooth wall surface makes for better paint adhesion, our house painters will then prep the surfaces before painting.

• Apply new paint: Our expert house painters will next apply your quality paint. The time of this step depends on the surface and the paint, but our painters will make sure to work quickly and efficiently.

• Clean-Up: We want to make sure your house looks like new and that includes our house painters cleaning up after our paint job.

Types of Spaces We Paint

This said walls are relatively easy to paint when you are just doing a simple coat. But there are surfaces to paint that require more nuance than we realize: Wainscotting, doors, trim and crown molding, and cabinets, to name a few. And then depending on the rooms you are choosing to paint, you’ll need to use different finishes that are appropriate to those spaces.

• Bedroom Painting: It doesn't get more personal than the bedroom. It's the space where we spend a third of our lives. So why not give it the love and paint it deserves.

• Bathroom Painting: The bathroom is one of the smallest places in our homes, meaning we usually forget about it when decorating. But, it also deserves some love and care. The proper paint will not only beautify your bathroom but make it last longer.

• Kitchen Painting: Something as simple as a fresh coat of paint can make a huge difference in your kitchen. Whether you are painting your cabinets or freshening up the walls, it's an affordable way to renovate your kitchen.

• Living Room Painting: The living room requires a bit more care and thought to make it the welcoming place it's supposed to be. Coordinating that with the rest of the decor is also important.

• Hallway Painting: If we think about it we may use our hallways more than any other space in the house. So give it an upgrade with a durable paint that can handle all the traffic.

• Entryway Painting: Everyone comes through the entryway, so make a b first impression with the right paint color.
