Room Painting

The Art of Room Painting: 

Painting your walls is a great way to refresh your home. It's a relatively inexpensive project that can make a big impact on the overall look and feel of the room. With a little planning and preparation, you can achieve a professional-looking paint job that you'll be proud of.

Selecting the Right Paint

Choosing the right paint is crucial for a successful painting project. 

Type of Paint: There are several different types of paint available, each with its own properties and intended use. 

For interior walls, latex paint is a popular choice due to its durability, easy application, and low odor.

Jcb Painting usually uses Benjamin Moore's "low sheen eggshell".

For the trim, doors, windows, baseboards, etc., we use Benjamin Moore's "Pre-catalyzed Waterbourne Epoxy". A very durable semi-gloss.

Color: Color selection is a personal preference, but it's important to consider the room's size, natural light, and overall décor. Light colors tend to make a space feel larger and brighter, while darker colors can create a more intimate atmosphere.

How to Paint a Room in Taunton, MA.

How to Paint a Room in Taunton, MA.

Painting a room is a great way to give it a fresh new look. Here are some tips on how to paint a room with doors, windows, ceiling, baseboard, and walls:

Preparing the Room.

Before you start painting, it's important to prep the room. Cover the floor with canvas drop cloths, and cover your furniture with clean plastic sheeting.

Inspecting the Walls and Ceiling.

Once the room is prepared, inspect the walls and ceiling for any damage. If there are any holes or cracks, patch them with spackle. Once the spackle is dry, sand the area smooth, and then pole sand the walls of the entire room to remove any stuck debris from the last paint job.

Painting the Ceiling with a flat white ceiling paint.

To paint the ceiling, start by rolling along the walls as a first cut-in (some paint will get on the wall but that's okay as you will be painting the walls next anyway) and go across the room making sure to roll all the area completely. Then get your brush and run it along the edge of the ceiling and wall for a final cut and you're done. Easy peasy. Quick and easy. I love painting ceilings. $$

When I paint a room I first recaulk all the trim (jambs, windows, and baseboards) Let it set for a day to harden because some gaps are deep and will take a few hours to cure or you will mess it up with your paint brush. Then the next day I blast out all of that trim speedily.

Painting the Baseboard.

The caulking is dry and set, so just go. Overlap onto the wall a bit. Be careful on the floor or carpet. Be sure to apply two coats of paint for the best results.

Painting the Doors.

To paint the doors, start by removing all hardware. Then, use an angle sash brush to cut in around the edges of the door. Depending on the type of door, (if it's flat) you could use a mini roller to apply the paint quickly. If it is a six-panel type of door use a brush to cut in the top 4 panels and carefully use a mini roller (1/8th nap) on the flat parts to finish. Then do the bottom 2 panels the same way. Be careful of the hinges. (I put blue tape on them so I can speed along.)

Be sure to apply two coats of paint for the best results.

Jambs.

Paint 2 coats using a sash brush. Overlap onto the wall a bit.

Windows.

Remove hardware, and paint 2 coats using a sash brush. Take your time. Don't rush it. Overlap onto the wall a bit.

The next day.

Painting the Walls.

To paint the walls, start by cutting in the walls to the ceiling. Then carefully, taping with blue tape, all the edges of the trim that were painted the day before, (jambs, windows, and baseboards) where it meets the walls. Make sure the tape is matted down good so you don't get any paint seepage under the tape onto the trim. Then cut in around the edges of the room with an angle sash type of brush. Don't buy cheap brands. Buy good brushes. Then, use a paint roller to fill in the rest of the wall. Be sure to apply at least two coats of paint for the best results.

Finishing Up.

Once the paint has dried, remove the painter's tape and replace the hardware on the doors and windows. Then, move the furniture back into the room and enjoy your newly painted room!

This cabinet was installed near the garage entryway for the family 
coats and shoes before entering the house.

Interior Painting with Jcb Painting.

Jcb Painting painted this cabinet in Norton, MA. last week. It was first primed with Stix Bonding Primer and finished with 2 coats of Benjamin Moore COROTECH V341.01.1 Pre-Catalyzed Waterborne Epoxy. A top-shelf semi-gloss. The finish is hard as a rock.

Living Room Wall Painting in Raynham MA.

Jcb Painting finished painting the walls in this living room in Raynham, MA. last week.
The homeowner provided the paint which was Benjamin Moore Regal Select eggshell paint and primer.
Not a fan of "paint and primer" products and still not. The paint was much thicker than what we usually use and seemed harder to work with.
Imho this wall paint is way overpriced and doesn't perform well.

Changing the wall color in any room can dramatically change the look and feel of the space. A lighter wall color always makes the area seem roomier. The new wall color is "shoreline" by Benjamin Moore. The trim and door paint is a top-shelf semi-gloss also from Benjamin Moore.

After

Mold Removal and Painting

 I can't say this enough. Use the bathroom exhaust fan. Let it run for at least 15 minutes after taking a hot steamy shower or bath. If the fan is old, replace it. It's a lot less money to spend than a complete restoration painting job. Mold remediation adds to the cost of painting a bathroom significantly such as this one. And it can be unhealthy.

 It's a nice change in routine when doing an interior painting job in Norton, MA. from baseboard to ceiling and the carpet is being replaced. Which allows me to spray the doors, saving me a lot of time and effort. Resulting in making more money by the hour. Yes.

Mansfield Bathroom Painters

This is what happens in your bathroom when you take long hot steamy showers and don't use the ceiling fan. Or you have a ceiling fan that is inadequate to do the job. 

Jcb Painting sees a lot of bathrooms like this. Our plan of attack will be to bleach all the moldy areas, (pretty much the whole bathroom here.) scrape away loose peeling paint, and clean up. 

Caulk around the tub enclosure, 

prime the walls and ceiling with a stain-killing oil-based bonding primer, then

paint the ceiling with white ceiling paint. 

Patch, fix and sand the walls.

and paint with 2 coats of the customer's color choice. Done.

 

Bath Fitters using clear pure silicone caulking.

 

This is what to expect from a Bath Fitter bathroom renovation. They use a pure clear silicone caulk all around that starts to deteriorate in just a few years. It looks good at first. 

As a professional interior painter who paints a lot of bathrooms, I have come across this scenario many times over the years.

When Bath Fitters first apply the pure silicone caulk it looks fine but after a few years, this is what it looks like. Always!

When I have to paint a Bath Fitter bathroom I charge much more because of this. Pure silicone caulk should never be used where there will be paint. PAINT DOES NOT STICK TO IT. "Dap" makes a paintable silicone caulk but Bath Fitters has not heard of it. Unfortunately for the homeowner who has to live with the results and pay more later to have their bathroom repainted

Before painting a Bath Fitter bathroom all the pure silicone caulking has to be removed and re-caulked with paintable caulk. 

Re-moving deteriorating pure silicone caulk is a nightmare. It only comes off in small rubbery pieces. Then when you think you got it all removed and you start painting you find that there is still some leftover that you couldn't see because it is PURE SILICONE CAULKING. Thank-you Bath Fitters. For Nothing!

This is what the homeowners have to look at whenever they sit on the toilet.

Deteriorating pure clear silicone caulking. Nice job Bath Fitters!
