House colors gives way for, ideas, schemes, paint tips which decorate, accent, highlight, compel, charm, soothe, match, contrast every home, for a more professional decorating look. House paint colors all have a wide variety of

paint color choices, the choices are limitless. House of colors, paint decorates for a more to a softer, Earth tone natural setting, with more contrast from walls to ceilings and trim, giving new life into a home. From repainting every room, to adding color accent walls, there is no limit to the number of ways to transform your living space with paint colors. Every so often a new paint color trend is set for the most current painting standard, and keeping up to date will add beauty to one’s decor, not to mention adding value and protection at the same time, as an added bonus. Bringing new colors into the home adds to the personal tastes, embracing other color coordinates such as carpet, furniture, draperies,  art, roofing, brick, and cherished collectibles for coordinating your home’s paint colors. After reviewing this blog and attached videos, it is my hope this will stimulate your imagination bringing more colors into the living space you enjoy the most. Setting in motion the correct paint colors, tints and hues, will lay the groundwork creating the mood within the home or office, two places you spend most of your time. House colors can inspire all those nearby, giving the sense of accomplishment and success.

House Colors Everywhere

House colors everywhere in your surroundings. Take a look around at each and everything, as they all have color on every surface. Wood tones can vary from reds and browns, to orange and yellows, to light grays.  White surfaces generally have some colorant to them, but up against a deeper contrast, they appear to be pure White. Having a touch of yellow, green, blue or red can bring more warmth and contrast to other colors you bring to your walls and ceilings, while Off-Whites are generally used for trim and doors.

Color Wheel

Understanding colors, I’ve included a color wheel to explain. All the hues you can imagine are derived from 3 primary colors, red, yellow, and blue titled with a P. When these primary colors are mixed in equal parts they create 3 more colors, we will refer to as secondary colors being orange, violet, and green. Mix these 3 colors in equal parts, and you have created 3 more being blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange, red-violet, blue-violet. Mix pairs of these 6 colors, and you have created 6 more, and so on to infinity and beyond.    Adding white, black, and gray can drastically tone down intense colors, thereby giving infinite color choices. First order of business would be which predominate colors you wish to highlight within your home or office, being Red, Yellow, or Blue. For real contrast, use colors from opposite sides of the color wheel, three in a triangle, or four colors in a rectangle. Opposite colors always catches one’s attention and focus. A touch of violet can spark attention in a room of yellow-orange. Adding a touch of red brick to a room of green can create a dramatic entry, in a dynamic space.

Paint Color Tip

An important paint color tip which should never be overlooked is once you’ve figured out which paint colors to use, either interior or exterior, it is a very good idea to sample larger swatches of paint on the walls to see if that is what you envisioned, seeing them in all parts of the day and evening, as the Sun plays an important role in the tints and hues of many house colors. Picking out the right paint colors the first time, saving time, labor, and of course money. Normally, most qualified painting contractors will be happy to assist in these sampling procedures.

Interior Paint Color Ideas and Paint Schemes

Interior Room Painting Color Ideas

Interior Paint Color Ideas

Interior paint color ideas and paint color schemes are the first things to think about before considering painting one’s interior. If you know you want your interior painted, but have no idea of design or layout being the paint scheme, no worries. A qualified painting contractor in your local area is the best choice. He or she knows current paint trends, and the most popular interior colors soothing to the most decrementing tastes. If your home is 10 years old, and walls, trim and ceilings have never been painted, chances are paint scheme is out of date. Perfect example of this going from a stained and lacquer trim to a more bright painted one. Stained trim was very popular back in the 80′s and 90′s giving way to a more modern updated look in the 2000′s. Well let’s see if this one hits home, and if so, can tell on your age.  Interior paint color ideas and paint schemes once included glitter mixed in Popcorn ceiling texture. Remember!? Today, even Popcorn ceiling textures are a thing of the past, without the glitter of yesterday. A more current paint color idea lends itself to a more current standard of matching wall texture to the ceiling for a more uniform and cleaner look. Even with the same drywall texture being the same, instead of walls and ceilings painted the same, a more current paint scheme is walls painted one color, and ceilings painted another. This paint scheme costs a little more, but well worth it if this is your primary residence. If a rental, you may wish to paint both walls and ceiling the same color scheme, for different interior paint color ideas.

Bedroom House Painting Color Ideas

Interior Paint Scheme

Must mention there is no “Cookbook” of right and wrong paint color schemes, however one must keep uniformity and consistency in mind when figuring a new paint scheme in the home. Interior paint scheme is the layout of paint colors which make up a space. Understanding these color wheel possibilities, opens the doors for interior wall painting color ideas, that will add a personal touch to your decor. Paint colors can create a desired atmosphere either in a bedroom, dining, kitchen, or family room. Colors have the ability to solve concerns as in a confined space, or adding warmth to what could be a chilly room otherwise. If you balance the intensity of colors in a room, referred to as paint color scheme. For a soothing space, keep colors gentle, light, and muted. For an active room, filled with energy, more bold, deep based color accents are recommended. Light is a paint colors best friend, which can alter the color’s perception after the Sun goes down. This is described further above, in Paint Color Tip. A good rule of thumb is having all trim the same throughout the home, normally in semi-gloss or high gloss paint sheen. Providing this paint sheen allows for regular cleaning with mild household cleaners, not compromising the paint finish. Another good idea for paint schemes in a home is providing the same ceiling color throughout. This trend of ceiling white throughout is currently in the process of changing as we speak. Having a distinct break in one’s ceiling or room can allow more pastels to one’s ceiling, which is becoming more popular in much larger, expensive homes in our country. Your interior design ideas can easily come together, hiring the right interior painters and paint contractor in your area, for a professional look, saving time, effort and money, applying your interior paint scheme.

Interior Paint Colors

Interior house paint colors that are on the lighter spectrum, gives the sense of being much larger than it really is. Darker house colors, appearing much smaller. Lighter tint based body exterior house colors tend to give off a larger feeling, as darker deep bodied ones, the home appears to be smaller. House colors and their house painting colors combination, leaves the color chart wide open for possibilities. House colors for a personal taste and decorating choice. Holding all house colors in the same family, warrants all house of colors paint coincide with one another, complimenting, as well as giving different color distinction and contrast for colors in the home. Darker color accent colors tend to highlight something and bring notice, as lighter ones tend to blend in surroundings. Notice darker gray accented to the lighter gray stairway with a navy blue runner for a cozy family setting in a Mid-Atlantic or Western Denver home. These interior paint colors will endure future generations of enjoyment.

Exterior Paint Color Ideas and Paint Schemes

Taking a Drive for Exterior Paint Color Ideas

Exterior paint color ideas and painting schemes will bring new life and vigor to one’s exterior siding. Exterior paint ideas may include natural landscape surroundings or if in a HOA, exterior paint color combination choices. A good exterior paint color idea is driving around your subdivision, picking out the exterior paint scheme you enjoy the most. You may still need to get this approved by your HOA building committee, most look at paint color schemes rather quickly, always eager to improve the subdivision where you live. Many considerations should be given when choosing exterior paint colors, from your local community to landscaping and roof colors. Many different shades of roofing are available today, and with exterior paint color ideas being infinite, the choices are limitless.

Exterior House Colors, Exterior Paint Colors and Ideas

Paint Color Brochures for Exterior Paint Schemes

Another exterior paint color idea is looking at different paint manufacture’s brochures helping your paint scheme. As you open the exterior color brochure, most paint color samples are grouped together with 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 colors of the same hues and tints, suggesting all these would look good next to one another. Using any more than 3 exterior colors can be overwhelming, unless of historic nature. Typically a body or field color is used throughout, with second paint color painting trim around windows, doors, gutters and flashing. If a third color is used, this normally accents front doors, shutters, and any gable vents or round inserts at the roof line. A nice touch is accenting any diamonds at the top of gables on the facia, which covers two pieces coming together. All these popular color choices laid out next to one another on most paint color brochures, displaying exterior paint schemes you may like.

Ask a Paint Color Expert

Asking a paint color expert or exterior color coordinator is always a choice when changing current exterior paint colors. If your new to an area, finding a reputable painting contractor who has been painting several years in the area is a good start. Most of the time a painting contractor will provide this service for free or can vary from area to area. Local paint stores who provide exterior paint color brochures can also be of some assistance. These folks tend to agree with anything you like, rarely being committal and divisive. A good question to ask them they can give you a straight answer is; Which is your most popular exterior colors? Nothing against any retail salesmen, but generally they do not wish suggesting anything you may change your mind on later, as once the paint is mixed, it is non-returnable. The main thought here is just asking a paint color expert, the one’s in the know, especially painters and painting contractors, who use these products on a regular basis. Seasoned painting contractors of your area are your main source being paint color experts, knowing which ones provide the best coverage, durability, consistency, and uniformity.

Exterior Paint Colors

Exterior house paint colors vary from one particular neighborhood to many different types of exterior siding material. Most exterior paint color schemes tend to be that of an Earth-tone paint color combination for a rich and inviting properly cared for exterior. Understanding paint colors, and what the outside elements can do to any particular paint is worth noting. The darker the exterior paint color spectrum goes, the quicker the paint coating will last. Intense sun’s rays can play havoc on paint, no matter what quality paint is purchased. Most exterior paints last much longer than the warranty noted, but all paint manufactures do not warrant paint fade. Paint fade is the first sign paint is not protecting, starting the deterioration process. Knowing this little known secret, it is best choosing the lightest paint color combination for the longest duration. Adding the least amount of exterior paint color additives before the painting process begins, allows for the best paint coverage and exterior protection. Aha, have you ever painted, never feeling like it was covering? Most likely the paint you were using contained tons of paint colorants. Very important, paint colorant does not cover, the base does. Deep purples, and the brightest Yellows are the toughest to cover, requiring many many coats before coverage starts to take place, costing much more labor and paint.  Painting your home’s exterior will go the extra mile, with fresh, pliable, and elastic paint coatings. Always good to sample paint colors for your exterior which are being favored, making sure they blend with brick, roofing, and vegetation. Knowing painting an exterior is not normally done very often, it is always good choosing these exterior paint colors wisely from the start.

Green Earth Friendly, Paint and Materials

Denver painters, painting homes using, Green Earth Friendly, sustainable paints and materials even more today, than since it’s inception back in 1999-2000. This is Great News, Thanks to many Denver painters and painting contractors getting the word, as well as local paint stores, informing the public of the advantages of Going Green when painting homes across Colorado. What used to be a trademark of a typical

liberal Green environmentalist, is now including most, liberals and conservatives alike, being politically by-partisan, painting homes today, with these purchases of these  Low to  Zero V.O.C (Volatile Odor Content) Green Earth Friendly paints. Therefore there are no stereotypes of a particular race, religion, gender, and politically motivated group, now including all folks today, of all walks of life, painting more and more homes in Denver using Green Earth Friendly paints and materials. Knowing the advantages of using these newer formulated, interior painting products, it is easy to see, Going Green is a wiser choice, painting homes, no matter where you stand on other political issues.

Top Reasons Denver Painters Using More Green Earth Friendly Paints

Reasons Denver painters are now using more Green Earth Friendly Eco Paints vary from one household to another. Whether the reasons being paint costs, air quality, breathing concerns, family additions, or advocacy groups, or just informing the public.

Denver painters are painting more and more homes, than ever before, using Green Earth Friendly Eco Paints, as the Green Earth Friendly paints are now starting to catch on, as Denver homes realizing the benefits using Green Earth Friendly paints.

Green Earth Friendly Paint Costs

From my perspective, as a local painting contractor here in Denver, knowing painting costs is the primary question of most, I can put that question to rest. Green Earth Friendly paints cost the same as premium quality interior paints still on the market today. Typically a high quality interior paint from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Glidden, Valspar, Behr, Kwal-Howell, Devoe all range from $30 to $50 dollars per gallon. With that being said, so does your high quality paints having higher V.O.Cs, if all other paint concerns are met, using Green Earth Friendly Eco Paint makes perfect sense. Having same or better paint coverage, uniformity, and paint color retention, your Green Earth Friendly Eco Paints are by far superior.

Using Green Earth Friendly Paints Improves Air Quality

Using Green Earth Friendly paints improve air qualities if considering painting interior walls and ceilings. Of course they do nothing if no interior painting is being considered. However, getting ready to paint an interior, this type of paint should be considered, as it does nothing to lower the air quality in the home or office. Air quality is one important consideration for many, and that “Fresh Paint” smell can have major allergic reactions to one’s bronchial passages. The conventional interior paints give off ammonia and formaldehyde releases for up to 3 years inside a home. When a home is freshly painted with conventional interior paints, our noses get used to those “Fresh paint” smells within a week or so, not noticing the chemicals still being released into the home, unless of course having allergic implications to these chemicals being released. So, when painting an interior, using Green Earth Friendly Eco Paints, improves air qualities inside the home.

Breathing Concerns are Important When Painting an Interior

Breathing concerns are important when painting an interior. This can include people with asthma, increasing symptoms related. This can be a part of occupational asthma and or Allergy-induced asthma. Keeping the air quality at it’s highest, reducing any chemicals, fumes or gases is always suggested. Remembering these interior paints having higher V.O.Cs, although may smell good, do nothing, and will actually reduce the air quality within the home. Other breathing concerns important when painting an interior could include bronchitis, hay fever, obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. Other breathing problems may also stem from other serious problems such as lung cancer, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and lung disease related to HIV/AIDS. Being able to enjoy a freshly painted interior, non of these breathing concerns will be compromised or affected using Green Earth Friendly Eco Paint.

Painting Interiors for New Family Members

In Denver, painting interior homes for new family members has been the leading reason using Green Earth Friendly Eco Paints. Getting ready for new arrivals, 5 of the last 6 interiors we painted were for just this reason alone. Wanting to bring fresh new paint colors into one’s home for the infant here in Denver, is always a positive attribute as a parent. Painting a child’s room with paint colors children love the most is an added benefit, learning their colors, while using Green Earth Friendly paints.  Other interior painting for new family members can include a mother or father coming for an extended stay, say for a summer or winter, or providing family care. We all tend to clean, dust, putting our home’s best conveniences forward when entertaining.  Having a fresh new look for either one of these examples, is very popular. Looking out for the very best with new family members in your home, painting interiors for new family members, using Green Environmentally Friendly, Eco Paint is your best course of action, Denver Colorado being no different than the rest of the country.

Advocacy Groups Promote Green Earth Friendly Interior Paints

Advocacy groups promote everything being Green, as Green Earth Friendly Interior Paints being 14% of the total Green Movement for sustainable Green Living. Solar, Wind, Food, and other home products make up the rest of Green Earth Friendly products. Typically when someone hears an advocacy group speak of “Going Green”, many jump to the impression this will cost much more, like twice as much. Well, Great News in the house painting industry, as described.  These Green products do not cost any more than premium quality interior paints you would ordinarily pay and use anyway. Allowing yourself to contribute to this Green Earth Friendly Movement, right along side many advocacy groups promoting the same Green Earth Friendly interior paints, doing your fair share. Seems like everyone who uses these newer formulated interior paining products, mentions this to a neighbor or friend at some point within the coming year, stating how please they were with these newer paints and Denver painters. Thereby adding to the long list of advocacy groups promoting Green Earth Friendly interior paints.

Denver Painters and Painting Contractors Informing the Public

Denver painters and painting contractors alike, now informing the public, as this is the hottest thing Going Green in Denver. Denver painting contractors and painters both are always looking out for the public’s best interest, suggesting these Green Earth Friendly paints as a choice, not costing any more, than conventional brands and types. These Eco Friendly types of paints cover much better than the others, while retaining vivid colors much longer. Building public awareness using these types of Eco Paints makes it perfect for many reasons mentioned above. Still needing to spread the word, many interior painting customers either do not know benefits, or have not heard of interior painting choices. This is where Denver painting contractors and painters alike are helping spread the word, informing the public, saving our environment, one home at a time, with little or no increased cost painting interiors in Denver and Colorado.

That Fresh Paint Smell

Bet you can recall many times smelling that fresh paint smell. Remembering when you would walk into a room, office, hotel room, or hospital, smelling your surroundings? Many times through your life’s course, you would notice “Ah, this room was recently painted, smells like Fresh Paint”. Even though these aromas to our noses where not too intrusive to our nasal cavities and lungs, sometimes a welcomed aroma. Now knowing these same aromatic fragrances do no benefit breathing, and matter of fact are actually harmful, having side effects with many, including headaches. With the introduction of Green Earth Friendly Eco Paint, everyone can benefit having an interior painted without these volatile odor compounds (V.O.C) present.

Two Paint Questions of Most House Painters

Two common paint questions most house painters have, as well as home owners alike. Knowing what your thinking, as also a consumer and a painting contractor, putting myself into the paint customer’s  shoes every chance I get. An experienced interior house painter looks into a couple things with every paint product, when getting ready to paint an interior. If your a house painter having any experience, you may already know these 2 things, those who have never painted before may not. Two key things most people who are getting ready to paint, are concerned with is, “How well does the interior paint cover”? and “How well does this interior paint’s color last”? Discussing these two major questions first, will allow the 7 advantages of using the newer formulated Green Earth Friendly Eco Paint to fall into place making perfect sense.

How well does the interior paint cover?

Green Earth Friendly paints typically cover in one complete uniform coat. These Earth Friendly Eco Paints have a viscosity being the same as a high quality conventional interior latex paint. Not watered down by no means, the “Hang time” measurement used determining viscosity, are those of the same premium quality interior paints only requiring one coat, saving time and money from a painting contractors standpoint as well as the Do-It-Yourself-er (DIY). Knowing some have experienced painting interior walls of say a deep color base, needing 5-6 complete coats, ready to throw in the towel. Chances of requiring multiple coats for adequate paint coverage decreases drastically with this newer paint formulation.

How well does this interior paint’s color last?

How well does this interior paint’s color last? Will this paint’s color retain it’s original paint tint and color hue? Having clays and minerals from the earth into interior paint formulation make-up, these will last your life-time, your child’s lifetime, and their children(s) lifetime. What? How can you be so sure? Well, the same Clay based Green Earth Friendly Eco Paints were once used over 2000 years ago by the Romans and King Tut’s era. Visiting King Tut’s display here in Denver several months back, witnessing those same paints and paint colors, still having vivid color retention today, these Earth Friendly Eco Paints are sure to last many generations to come.  Goes without saying none of us will witness any paint fade using a premium quality Earth Friendly Low or Zero V.O.C Eco Paint. You’ll want to redecorate your interior, updating paint colors before seeing any paint fade common with other conventional interior paints.

7 Advantages using Green Earth Friendly Low or Zero V.O.C Eco Paints

As promised, listing the seven advantages using the painting industries newest interior paint formulation’s Earth Friendly paints are as follows, with 7 groups of consumers benefiting:

1) Newborns/Infants

Newborn children coming into this world are magnets to the senses of sight, tastes, and smells. Mentioning these older conventional brands of interior latex paints having chemicals of ammonia and formaldehyde do the infant and newborns no good in the least. Matter of fact, these same conventional interior latex paints give off those chemicals for up to 3 years. Really? Yes, our noses get accustomed to the pleasant odors of “Fresh Paint smells” not noticing them say after a week, which is why hospitals are now leading the purchases of Green Earth Friendly Eco Paints, provided by most major paint manufactures.

2) Pregnant Mothers to-be

Most expected mothers want the very best for their child, in the womb. Eating right, exercising, taking in the right vitamins, and nutrients prescribed, feeding the infant before delivery with everything the expected mother takes in and consumes, breathing any harmful chemicals these conventional interior paints allow, will affect the unborn child directly.  Now with interior paints not having these harmful chemicals, women can enjoy interior painting while pregnant. Having a freshly painted interior, without loosing any air quality within the home is the smartest choice. Getting the home and kid’s room all dressed up and painted for the little new arrival is just the ticket, and what the doctor ordered.

Oh, did I mention hospitals and schools across the country are now using Green Earth Friendly Paints within the interior walls and ceilings, having low to zero V.O.C’s? Proud to say they are, and for good reason. What is good for them, should certainly be the healthiest and smartest paint choice for your home, painting while pregnant or not.

3) Senior Citizens

Senior citizens certainly do not need to be concerned with new “Fresh paint” fumes, while enjoying new paint colors added to their homes and living spaces. Living lives to the fullest, enjoying the later years of one’s life, does not have to include fresh paint smells of chemicals described above. Most senior citizens have a keener sense of smell from years of experience, and these conventional paint odors having higher V.O.C’s should be avoided. Having Green Earth Friendly Eco Paints now available, allows the air qualities to stay the same, painting a senior’s interior wall or ceiling.

4) Those with breathing concerns.

No matter what age group, those with any breathing concerns do not have to be affected having an interior painting job completed within their confines. Asthma, bronchitis, those on oxygen, and sensitive bronchial and respiratory passages, who also can achieve a new fresh interior painting without deteriorating the air quality being most important.

5) Those avidly concerned about our ecology.

All those actively taking steps to a Greener more sustainable in which we live, Green Earth Movement has made significant gains for a Greener Earth. Cannot attribute this movement to the initial introduction of Low to Zero V.O.C paints introduced back in late 1999, but know it is a welcomed product and addition to what is now available from solar panels, wind generators to natural bamboo flooring, encompassing everything from a natural, more sustainable Earth Friendly biosphere. Painting a home with Green, Earth Friendly Eco Paints suddenly transforms one’s home to newer paint decorating color schemes while being an active member and contributor  in this Green Earth Movement.

6) Those looking for the Best Interior Paint Qualities.

Best interior paint qualities are paint coverage, paint color retention, elasticity, elongation, tensile strengths, viscosity, spread-abilities, paint color choices, knowing these Low to Zero Green Earth Friendly paints exceeds manufactures label requirements set by the painting industry standards. Having a premium Earth Friendly Eco Paint decorating your interior today makes perfect sense when considering paint qualities that make up any paint manufactured. Green Earth Friendly paints surpass lower quality conventional ones produced, costing a little more, while the same paints compared to an equal quality conventional type continues to lead the group with superior interior paint qualities, having no gasses or ammonia to emit, reducing your air quality. Hopefully, I have you convinced doing your share for self and others when choosing your next interior paint products.

7) Those wanting painting costs the same

Can’t think of anyone not wanting painting costs the same as yesterday. In today’s economy, most of us look at price. Price for paint has increased over the last 10 years to doubling what once used to be less expensive. Just like anything before the fuel went up back in 2007 when we saw gasoline spike to records of $5.00+, groceries, utilities, cosmetics, and all consumer products that required shipping went up nearly doubling. Of course this fuel cost went down, but manufactures and producers enjoyed the added bonuses of what they were already selling, so everyone continued to pay the same, with no reduction in price. Consumer spending was forced to accept those higher prices, including all brands of house paints. Conventional latex paints followed these increases in years of spikes, while increasing several times during normal years anywhere from 3-7% increase per calendar years. What used to cost $12-14.00 per gallon now costs $30-40.00. What paint manufactures have done to offset these higher paint costs, is providing a higher quality Green Earth Friendly paint line at the same paint costs as conventional ones, which is Great for everyone looking to have an interior painted today, benefiting a larger consumer base, keeping painting costs at it’s lowest with higher paint qualities than before.

Wallpaper and Popcorn Ceiling Removals

Wallpaper and Popcorn removals is another interior painting requirement when updating for a brand new look for a home. Many homes built prior to 1998 have Popcorn or acoustic ceiling. Homes prior to 1960, many have glitter mixed in the Popcorn. Removing or applying Popcorn, matching ceiling textures, Eco Paint is your interior painting contractor for a superb Popcorn or acoustic removal or application. Removing wallpaper go hand in hand with drywall textures and repairs. When removing wallpaper, most walls are not textured, for a flat smooth wallpaper feel and look.

Deck cleaning and staining is vital preserving one’s wood deck surfaces, for every home. Eco Paint uses State of the Art, cleaning processes, with environmentally friendly cleaning agents removing weathered Gray and ugly Black mold out of wood for wood looking as new as the day it was first installed. Power washing first, allowing to dry over 24-48 hours before any wood stain is applied, ensures proper stain penetration into the wood grain. Eco Paint uses the Best wood stains available today, from Cabots, Sikkens, Super Deck, Penofin, Behr, and Olympic stains.

Siding repairs and siding replacements is another added feature Eco Paint offers their exterior painting clients.

Lead Paint Testing / Lead Paint Abatement

Lead paint abatement is another area being qualified by the State of Colorado having Restoration, Remodel, and Paint Certificate, as well as holding National Certificate approved by EPA, the Lead Abatement Certificate for Contractors and Supervisors. If your home is built prior to 1978, chances are favorable, there is Lead present. The first order of business is scheduling Eco Paint to come out, testing for Lead Paint. This is a nominal fee, and sometimes can be incorporated into the cost of Lead Paint Abatement and or Encapsulations. However, this is a very small price to pay, especially if children are present, as Lead paint chips from the smallest sizes, can have life-long impacts to a child’s central nervous, immune systems and brain. Only one case in history where a child has died resulting from high levels of Lead in the body, however Lead Paint at much lower volumes can and will have life-long devastating impacts if ingested. Smaller amounts can be from Lead Paint dust, to smaller chips in and around the home. Do not take Lead Paint lightly, as it is a silent killer of brain and immune cells within the body. No cancer has been reported from Lead Paint ingestion, but the consequences are just as serious, of a debilitating nature to small children.

Painting Bedroom in Colorado

Although Bedrooms tend to require less interior painting than other rooms of the home, being smaller than the rest of the home, much is required, pulling off a professional interior painting bedroom for your enjoyment.  Below, are some interior painting tips helping your bedroom painting project go as smoothly as possible.

• Cleaning:Clean substrate.  As bedroom walls and ceilings can gather dust and films not typically seen, a mild detergent with warm water and sponge is prescribed. Moving furniture out if possible, careful not harming carpet or wood floor, as some beds and Chester drawers can be quite heavy, and legs can dent wood floors.
• Painting Tools: Normal painting tools, including but not limited to a good quality paint brush, roller pan, roller skin, drop cloths, 3-M film dispenser, roll of 48″ film, premium quality caulk, disposable rags, small bucket of warm water, Blue 3-M Tape, and a lot of patience. Paint color choices are endless, but should compliment rest of bedroom’s decor. Now picking best paint sheen for bedroom walls and ceilings is either eggshell, or flat. Trim should be kept the same as the rest of the home in either semi-gloss or high-gloss. Normally painted doors are the same color as the door trim and base boards.
• Masking:After all the cleaning has been accomplished, it’s time to start masking off.  Be sure to use Blue tape on finished stained built-in cabinetry, as normal tape can leave adhesive behind and possibly mare the cabinet finish. Using canvas drops with a vinylback is always recommended. Covering all areas that could receive paint drips or splatters, painter’s drop film works best covering furniture.
• Caulking: Caulk tape lines with a fine bead of caulk, wiping off with damp rag, for smooth uniform paint finish.
• Soak new Purdy paint brush in warm water if using latex, which is highly recommended. Shaking off excess, by hitting brush heel on the toe of your work boot. That way good quality paint brush is easier to clean, and less likely to drip.
• Painting Ceiling:Always working from top down, it’s ok getting ceiling paint on walls, rolling out from furthest corner to another, painting interior bedroom ceiling. Depending on ceiling texture, the roller skin should be a 1/2″ thick to 1″. The smoother the texture, the thinner the roller skin is a good rule of thumb.
• Painting Walls:After ceiling paint has dried, normally 30 minutes, it’s time to paint walls, and around cabinets.  Remember to keep paint roller pointing the same direction rolling out any interior walls or ceilings. If not, thicker paint lines will probably appear as paint roller pressure is not the same, flipping roller frame, going across ceiling or wall surface. Wall paint will normally dry before you get to the end of the wall, and this can change colors to a drier finish. Good rule is to apply a good even coat across the intire wall, before going back over what you just painted on the walls. Some paint colors require multiple paint coats, having more colorant added to the base. Deep tint bases in dark blues, purples, reds, and yellows are notiorious requiring multiple coats. An easy less expensive way of painting these walls would be priming first with 50% paint color than finish coat. Finish coats will lay on to primer much more evenly, not costing near as much as high quality interior paints. Gray colored primers work well under dark blues, reds, and yellows.
• Painting Trim:After wall painting has dried, it’s time to paint/brush any trim, baseboards the same color as the rest of the home. Keeping a wet edge of paint, using your new brush is the trick, painting trim. Loading up the paint brush, having a steady hand, painting trim can be done free handed, but if uncomfortable performing, another tape line and caulk is in store.

Your now on the home stretch, for a day or two of hard work, depending on the size of your bedroom, but is well worth it, for reasons mentioned earlier. Good Luck! and your more than welcome contacting Eco Paint for any of your bedroom painting needs.

built right into formulas, every paint requires proper primer on substrate, under lament, or bare surface.

Good rule of thumb, “Primers bond better to substrates than quality house paints do, and quality coatings bond to primers much better than substrates themselves. When your doing siding repairs, most new siding has a factory primer, making repairs and replacements less costly, not having to prime. Many other primers are described below for drywall to siding, exterior painting and metals, naming general types, and not suggesting name brands.

Aluminum, Galvanized Steel

Clean surface, especially new rolled flashing and Galvanized surfaces, removing the oils that are applied in the factories, during production. Best cleaner is 50% vinegar and 50% water using a quick wipe down method.  Also remove any crayon wax markings, and oxide powder applied from factory. Apply an Acrylic Latex rust-inhibitor primer, allowing to dry, and top coat with a quality 100% Acrylic Exterior finish coat.

Drywall

Drywall mud and textures are a very porous material when dried. Priming before and after textures provides two different benefits. Priming before texture, allows texture to be applied more evenly, and allows texture to bond better to primer than drywall itself, especially when doing a knock-down texture, scraping points off with broad knives. Priming after texture allows paint finish coats to go on more evenly, without soaking into texture, not having dull and shinny spots. Drywall primers are generally flat PVA primers which dry rather quickly, and have spread rates of 250-300 square foot per gallon.

Ferrous Metal

Clean surface, typically found with steel pipe handrails, outside stair stringers, and I beams.  Removing as much rust as possible, a power tool works well for large areas, and steel wire brush for smaller ones. Remove dust from scraping, and apply 2 coats of rust-inhibitor primer, allowing to dry before applying top coats.

Masonry

These surfaces are typically very porous and require a block filler that will seal cracks and crevices before finish coats. Normally these coatings use a spread rate of 100-150 square foot per gallon, and a spray and back-roll method is recommended. Finish coats will cover more uniformly and not see any dull spots to shinny ones.

New Wood

Exterior Painting in Aurora Colorado

Exterior Priming and Painting in Aurora CO.

A high quality latex or oil based wood primer. Make sure primer has stain blockers when covering stains, open grains, and sappy woods. Using Alkyd oil based primers, latex finish coats can be applied over, but not the other way around. Typically spray, brush or roll methods of application. If siding has no factory primer, best applying thin coat for adhesion properties.  If new Cedar Siding is used, no need for primer when using Solid Body Stains, as you want some of the stain to soak into the wood, and not lay directly on top of surface.

Repaint

Need to check what is previously used, as to above (New Wood). Scrape all loose mills currently peeling up, and those that have air pockets lying underneath, ready to peel up. Sand and feather edges, so when painted, mill thickness differences will not be seen.  Priming entire surfaces are not required just because paint has become dried and chalky. Only when bare substrates are exposed, but if so many bare substrates on a particular wall or structure, it may be wise to prime entire substrate. Primers will maximize adhesion and uniformity appearance.

Weathered Wood

Best to sand down to new wood grain, allowing bonding primers to adhere and bond to substrates properly. Mostly found on trim, scraping, sanding, and feathering mill thickness edges before applying Alkyd or Latex primers. Also best to purchase top quality primer, which provides better bonding characteristics to substrates.
