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!

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. |

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.

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.

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.
This is what the homeowners have to look at whenever they sit on the toilet.
Deteriorating pure clear silicone caulking. Nice job Bath Fitters!
