<p>painting contractor&#8217;s viewpoint and experiences, from Denver CO. Just as car manufactures change paint colors for autos on a almost a yearly basis, so do house paint manufactures. House paint manufactures bring new paint colors to the home&#8217;s exterior for fresh and newer painting ideas every 5-10 years. Having a current exterior house paint color improves the appearance of the home, making like new, but most importantly having the proper paint protection to your valuable exterior siding and trim. Knowing one does not repaint, changing the color of the external paint scheme on a drop of a hat, choosing a paint combination you will enjoy for years to come is vitally important. Exterior paint colors come in a limitless variety of colors with their tints and hues, a few tips here will provide some painting ideas when choosing paint colors for your home&#8217;s exterior new paint colors.</p>

<p><strong>Exterior House Paint Colors Video </strong></p>
<h2 style="padding-left: 30px;">Ideas When Determining Exterior Paint Colors</h2>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>When choosing exterior paint  colors for your home, several considerations and ideas should given.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>First, if you  live in a covenant community, certain exterior paint colors may be  the only ones approved for those homes in that particular community. Consult with your  HOA if not sure, knowing they are happy to assist providing you with approved paint color matches and ideas.</li>
<li>If your not in a controlled HOA community, you still may  want to sample exterior paint colors on your home, as small paint chips  do not give the full picture of a larger paint sample next to your brick  or other colors near your home. Lighting also plays an important role when looking at paint colors, and this can be different in a store or on a piece of paper, rather than actually on siding or trim. If you are changing colors drastically, best to sample paint colors on your home before telling your paint contractor or paint store to mix the full amount, as this cannot be returned, and very difficult changing to another paint color match.</li>
<li>When choosing exterior paint colors,  getting samples from other similar painted homes you like is a good idea.  If you see a home&#8217;s paint color combination that is appealing to you, ask home  owner if they know of the paint color names or numbers. Most of the time homeowners will go  out of their way helping you with numbers, as this is a compliment to  their exterior paint color choice. Have seen once in my life where this happened, not as explained. Our painting customer liked a paint color combination of a home 1.5 miles away, with 300 homes in between them. Our paint customer went up to the door, asking if they could have the paint color numbers or names, and this individual was reluctant providing, as they thought these 2-3 paint colors were their very own. Hard to imagine paint colors having a patent. <img src='http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>One more thing to think about, when  choosing exterior paint colors for your home, is looking around at the colors of your natural surroundings. Trees, soil, grasses, landscape all lend their natural Earth tone colors to the pallet of colors to pick from. Take a look at your roof and brick or stone. These areas can be major portions of your exterior, that offer nice possibilities of color family choices. Remembering painting a home several years ago outside Castle Rock, nearest the foothills. The owner of the home, Jim, was also the owner of Fairfield Homes, for which we previously painted many homes and multi-family projects for them. Well, the owner decided to go with colors of Green for the body, and a burnt Red, closely matching the natural sandstone in the area. Jim&#8217;s home is situated closest to the foothills, near lots of outcropping sandstone, which the paint color combination made perfect sense. So, looking at your natural surroundings is ideal, especially not confined to an HOA&#8217;s paint color combination.</li>
<li>Many brochures have paint color combination choices. When opening these various brochures up, the 2-3-4-5 paint swatches grouped together is suggested by the paint manufacture as being like in nature, going well with one another. This does not mean your not able to pick from one group, adding to another. These are only suggestions.</li>
<li>Last, If you are planning on other exterior home improvements besides painting your exterior, such as replacing garage doors, gutters, siding or trim, best having these completed before painting. Inspecting trim and siding before painting exterior for possible deterioration is key, keeping everything running in the natural order of construction and exterior painting, saving time and money. Doing things in the proper order allows the most time saving means of completing everything as scheduled. Including wood repairs and siding replacements as a part of our specialty, adds to the convenience of only having to deal with one contractor for siding, wood trim, and exterior painting.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">Exterior Paint Scheme<strong> </strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Exterior paint scheme are the colors that make up the paint color combination. Typically you    have a 2-3 paint colors that make up the exterior paint scheme for a home.</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>First color found in the body or main portion of the exterior, where the siding is painted. Other portions of the home&#8217;s exterior could be the garage doors, most soffits, porch ceilings, awnings, trellises, side entry doors.</li>
<li>Trim paint colors tend to be found on the facia and gutters, as both of these should match exactly, as you do not want to bring attention to gutters, but camouflage them, making them blend in. Other areas of trim paint colors could be found with window and door trim, columns, posts, flashing, decorative dental work for a complete exterior home design and paint decoration.  A third exterior paint color may be found at the front door, wood side vents, or an ornament decoration near the peak. Fascia diamonds that cover the seam at the top of some gables, as these can be painted a third paint color we call accent paint color.</li>
<li>Accent paint colors can be vastly different from the color wheel, and the main or body and trim color, which brings attention to these areas. Need to be careful, not overdoing the accent color of any exterior, as the exterior paint scheme may look too busy.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>New Painting Forum on the Net</h1>
<h2><a title="Painting Forum" href="http://painting-forum.com">http://painting-forum.com</a></h2>
<p>One of the newest House <a title="Painting Forum" href="http://painting-forum.com">Painting Forum</a> -s is now available to all homeowners, painters, painting contractors, builders, Insurance professionals, SEO, software and computer experts, coming together in one place, collaborating, in the house painting industry, for a down to earth, homeowner friendly community. Some major differences with the Painting Forum and similar forums, the owner here has more in place, benefiting all who join. Brand new to the web, the Painting Forum has high hopes giving back to the net, current, and valid information for the house painting industry, and for all of those who seek answers to questions.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2091" title="Painting Forum" src="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/GreenPaintRoller-150x150.png" alt="Painting Forum" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<h3>Forum Differences include</h3>
<h4><strong>Larger Signature Area:</strong></h4>
<p>Most forums of many topics, have a limit of characters in the signature. This is where targeted keywords can be hyperlinked, helping that website or blog ranking higher in the search engines for that particular keyword or phrase. As a result of normally keeping a character limit to a minimum of 200-250 characters, many forums consider more than 3 text links spam. I don&#8217;t agree with this low number, as most top web sites have close to 10 keywords in html meta content, allowing most search engines know what they wish to rank for. In the Painting Forum, a 600 character limit, with a maximum of 10 keywords is acceptable, helping all those who join.</p>
<h4><strong>Blog Thread: </strong></h4>
<p><a title="Painting Forum" href="http://painting-forum.com/">The Painting Forum</a> allows links to blogs, contrary to many other forums.  On the same playing field as many bookmarking sites, the Painting Forum has a forum set aside, solely for others linking painting blog articles,  giving articles a special place, thereby helping the ease of inbound links and comments. Having one place of house painting related blogs acts as a directory also.</p>
<h4><strong>Many Other Painting Related Fields:</strong></h4>
<p>Running a house painting business, includes a lot more than just painting the interior or exterior walls and ceilings. The Painting Forum has set aside a special thread for those associated with insurance, <a title="HIT Web Design" href="http://www.hitwebdesign.com/">website builders</a>, SEO experts, software, sales, marketing, advertising,  safety equipment, and interior decorating experts. Hoping not leaving any area out, there&#8217;s more to painting a house than using a brush or roller. Adding other painting related forums as need be. If you can line up yourself with the house painting industry, we look forward seeing you there!</p>
<h4>A Great Place Sharing Painting Ideas:</h4>
<h5>Helping those who have painting questions, the Painting Forum is the place to be, sharing painting questions, answers and ideas, discussing residential and commercial painting.</h5>
<p>Proudly having some of the most knowledgeable painting contractors and most <a title="Famous Painters of Twitter" href="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/painting/twitter-most-famous-painters/">famous painters of twitter</a>, Tom with <a title="Kelloggs Painting Company" href="http://www.kelloggspainting.com/">Kelloggs Painting Company</a> <cite></cite> of the Hudson Valley, Catskills &amp; Albany New York areas.  Welcoming Larry of Northglenn Colorado, who owns <a title="All Phase Painting" href="http://www.happypainter.com/">All Phase Painting LLC.</a>, combined has decades of painting experience, always there helping those with painting questions, we all look forward building a community related to one we enjoy the most.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<h1>Exterior Painting Tips</h1>
<p>Denver Colorado and Front Range offers several days painting exteriors  throughout the year, even during the Winter months. Below, a few tips painting during these times. Denver and Colorado house painting season is normally Spring and Summer, and is generally thought as the best time to paint. While inside, most people think of interior <a href="../colorado/house-painting-services/">house painting services</a> during the Winter months, all for many different reasons. Exterior house painting is on most  minds during this time. Enjoying more time outside, homeowners have the ability to  inspect exterior siding and paint. Although <a title="Painting in Denver" href="http://paintingdenver.net/">painting in Denver</a>, mild Winter temperatures in Denver and Colorado  Front Range, painting the exterior of a home or business can be  accomplished year round. In Colorado&#8217;s high country, this is a different story.</p>
<p><span id="more-1947"></span></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-2099 alignleft" title="Exterior Painting, Parker Colorado" src="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Exterior-Painting-Parker-Colorado-300x225.jpg" alt="Exterior Painting, Parker Colorado" width="300" height="225" /></div>
<p>Only Spring, Summer, and early Fall  months are best suited for exterior painting in Colorado&#8217;s high country, with high snow drifts,  freezing temperatures, and uncertain weather conditions. Not allowing to paint until the snow is off the roof tops.</p>
<p>A little more creativity is given during Winter months, finishing exterior  painting in Colorado. The following items require more creativity  painting from October to February in Denver and Colorado&#8217;s Front Range, which also allows advantages painting the exterior during the Winter months.</p>
<p>This photo was taken just after finishing an exterior painting job in  Parker, and a day after a few inches of snowfall. The roof is quickly  melting, and all this snow is soon to be gone, allowing another premium time to paint during the Winter, providing another snow  fall is not around the corner.</p>
<p><strong>1) Shorter days -</strong> Normally <a title="Denver Painters" href="http://denver-painters.net">Denver painters</a> like to start from 7-8am.,  and as early as possible painting a home&#8217;s  exterior, however as Colorado time changes around Halloween in late October, Denver  painters must wait till 8-9am. to start using exterior paint. Halloween is the countdown time we normally see our first snowfall, sometimes a few weeks earlier or later, October can offer some amounts of snow. Surface  temperatures are generally 10 degrees cooler than the ambient  temperature, thus requiring a 45 degree temperature to apply exterior paint.</p>
<p><strong>2) Follow Sun rays -</strong> Following the Sun&#8217;s rays is the best way to insure warmest substrate  temperature during the Winter months, just as being the  opposite from Summer months, Denver painters always look for the coolest  side, out of the Sun to apply exterior paint. In the direct Sun, surface  temperatures are generally 10-15 degrees warmer than shade,  making it perfect to paint in direct Sunlight during the Winter season.</p>
<p><strong>3) Waiting for snow to melt -</strong> Most thoughts of Denver  Colorado and tons of snow fall, is the same as everyone in Texas wears a Cowboy hat, however this is certainly not the case for either state. On rare occasions,  Denver and Colorado&#8217;s Front Range receives it&#8217;s share of snowfall, as we desperately need it. Although, with  Colorado&#8217;s arid and low humidity climate, Snow fall is gone in a few days in direct Sunlight.  Painting the exterior, all snow must be off the roofs, not having to wait  very long for this to happen, as rooftops are generally in direct Sunlight.</p>
<p><strong>4) Low Temp Exterior Paint -</strong> Painting a home&#8217;s exterior during  the Winter months, a good characteristic in a high quality exterior paint is having a Low Temp additive mixed in the paint. Sherwin-Williams and Kwal-Howell provide  these additives that come pre-mixed, adding  to the value and durability of paint and it&#8217;s curing. Low Temp additives are  invisible and paint quality is not affected. The only difference allows quicker drying rates,  as in all house paint, paint dries slower in cooler temperatures, than warmer  ones. Painting a metal door during these temperatures should be dealt with some constant observation. Applying exterior or interior paint for that matter should be done during the warmest part of the day. Allowing the paint to cure and set-up before temperatures start to drop. Metal surfaces tend to conduct and hold ambient temps. the longest, whereby not allowing the paint to dry before it runs or sags. I know, because I&#8217;ve been there. Generally the front door is the last thing to paint on an exterior, but not so much during the Winter. Exterior Front doors should be painted during the most optimum weather conditions and temperatures.</p>
<p><strong>5) <a title="Exterior House Paints" href="http://paint-color.net/exteriorpainting.html">Exterior House Paints</a> -</strong> In Denver, painting one&#8217;s exterior, Colorado offers premium exterior painting conditions, in all  seasons. Having a very dry and desert climate, it is very rare Colorado has high  humidity, and ever a concern. A home&#8217;s exterior house paint generally dries to the touch  within 15-20 minutes on an optimum day with 55 degree temperatures. This  time tends to increase the cooler it gets, and is the main reason most Denver  painters shut down painting operations around 3-4pm. during the Winter time,  giving ample time for the new exterior painting coatings to dry  properly, before the temperature drops to their lowest through the night. Knowing proper <a title="Exterior Paint Drying Rates" href="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/uncategorized/exterior-house-painting-drying-rates/">exterior paint drying rates</a> is a plus for a long lasting exterior painting finish.</p>
<p><strong>6) <a title="Exterior Touch Ups" href="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/exterior-painting/factors-affecting-latex-paint-touch-ups/">Exterior Touch-Ups</a> &#8211; </strong>The best advice painting interiors or exteriors is using the same method first used. This can be done by spraying left-over product back into the paint can, which allows a brush touching up a spray finish much better. Touching up paint finishes should also be accomplished during the same or close to the same temperatures first used. These areas can affect paint color sheen, so keeping accurate records and notes of a painting project is always a plus.</p>
<p><strong>7) <a title="Exterior Painting Costs" href="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/exterior-painting/denver-exterior-painting-costs/">Exterior Painting Costs</a> </strong>- Painting a home&#8217;s exterior during the Winter time is generally the same as the peak painting season, although taking a little longer painting an exterior due to reasons listed above. There may be particular <a title="Reasons to Paint" href="../exterior-painting/best-time-to-paint/%20Reasons%20to%20paint">reasons to paint </a>during the Winter  months, such as buying or selling a home, adding a <a title="Paint Color" href="http://paint-color.net/">paint color</a> to personalize one&#8217;s exterior, and all this can be done  just as easily  as warmer months, adding a couple more days to finish  than the Summer  has to offer, while exterior paint pricing should stay  the same year  round, as most <a title="Painting Contractors" href="http://contractor-painting.com/">painting contractors</a>, would agree.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/home-improvement/interior-exterior-painting-for-2010/"><img class="size-full wp-image-627 alignnone" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="Eco Paint" src="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/banner_EcoOptions1.gif" alt="Eco Paint" width="66" height="81" align="right" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well folk&#8217;s painting season is right around the corner and being here in Denver, and still pretty chilly. Unlike our friends in warmer climates, down passed the Mason Dixon Line, house painting is very seasonal. Normally not painting exteriors say after October. Heck, I remember getting a 4&#8242; snowfall around Halloween. Fortunately not in the middle of an exterior painting job. Having to time these types, always checking local weather forecasts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, wanted to know from a homeowners perspective and others including painting contractors, what are your plans this year, knowing both will be different answers all together. Might be a good place  connecting <span id="more-621"></span>the dots if homeowner responds here in the same town as painting contractor. Long shot, but it could happen I guess. lol Getting little cabin fever, I&#8217;ll be glad when the painting season kicks off.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So thought I would ask a few questions, allowing anyone to sound off. Either Homeowners, Real Estate Brokers, Mortgage Brokers, and or <a title="Painting Contractors" href="http://paintingdenver.net/">Painting Contractors</a>. Well, anyone having anything to do with a home.  Only one&#8217;s I can think does not include,  are the tent people of Haiti.</p>
<h3><strong>Starting with the Homeowner; </strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>What are your plans for painting your home this year? Interior Painting, Exterior Painting or Both?</li>
<li>What part of the country do you reside?</li>
<li>Have you ever had a Professional Painting Job done before?</li>
<li>What are your expectations?</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Finishing up with the Professional Painting Contractor;</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>Has your marketing changed in the last say 3-5 years?</li>
<li>Has your territory stayed the same, increased or decreased?</li>
<li>What sets you apart from all the rest in your area?</li>
<li>Are you specific to house painting, or taking on other home improvement tasks?</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Sounding off first;</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now just for the record, we only provide <a title="House Painting Services" href="http://paintingdenver.net/services.html">house painting services</a> up and down the Colorado Front Range Area of Denver, Colorado Springs.  Answering first, yes we&#8217;ve honed our marketing skills to more of a web presents than ever before. Giving tips to my fellow brothers in house painting, we&#8217;ve spent our slower painting season months building up and improving our web presents. Reason being, is that when the painting season is here, I may not even have the time to wipe my nose, like years past, and hopefully 10&#8242; is no different. Yes Sir, I&#8217;ll probably be tweeting on my Blackberry, and not behind the flat screen. Our marketing angle is somewhat different maximizing web presents, in that we will drop out of most print material. The future is the Internet, seeing newspapers falling like hitting flies on a dirty picnic table, same goes for the yellow pages.</p>
<h4><strong>What sets us apart;</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ok, and so what sets us a part, just coming to realize in the last few years, having been painting over 30, a brick fell out of the sky, conking me on top of my head, coming to the realization we are indeed an authority in the painting industry. Oops, now I&#8217;ve got to proof it. lol Rats! J/K. Continuing to speak on what sets us a part from all the rest is another realization. Naming our company Eco Paint Specialist&#8217;s back in 1993, long before Green Earth Friendly Eco Paint was ever available to the retail market, we are indeed the originators of the term <a title="Eco Paint" href="http://paintingdenver.net">Eco Paint</a>. With somewhat of a slowdown in the economy, we have increased our territory, keeping as busy as we possibly can. Now including Colorado Springs to the mix, about 45-50 miles South of Denver. We cover 50 miles North and 50 miles South of Denver. Having the extreme enjoyment of house painting, helping others protect one of their largest investments, we have traveled the whole state of Colorado when need be.</p>
<h4><strong>Painting Services provided;</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And finally, we have not added to our home improvement skills, doing all now as before. If a board is rotten (we occasionally see this) we replace it, and not paint over it, or say call the carpenter with a hammer.  Many times homes that go way too long before painting can require siding repairs as well, doing that also.  Other painting services include Deck Cleaning, Staining and all Finishes. Providing Drywall textures and repairs, Wallpaper Removal, Siding repairs and replacements, and <a title="Lead Abatement" href="http://paintingdenver.net/leadabatement.html">Lead Abatement</a> &amp; Encapsulations. Epoxy Floor Finishes are also common, upgrading garage floors are quite popular especially in Colorado with all the snow, making cleaning the garage floor a breeze. (got one more to do this coming week)</p>
<h4><strong>Oh, almost forgot;</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Can&#8217;t leave this article without mentioning Twitter can I? Joining back around the end of last Summer, I feel fortunate making many contacts in my immediate area of Denver, along with building friendships with the same, potential painting clients as well as other <a title="Professional Painting Contractors" href="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/painting/twitter-most-famous-painters/">Professional Painting Contractors</a>! Twitter Rocks! <strong>Enough about me, let&#8217;s hear about YOU!</strong></p>
<p><strong>So, would like to hear from you, Homeowner, Real Estate Broker, or Painting Contractor, your thoughts! </strong></p>
<p><strong>Sound Off! </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/painting/twitter-most-famous-painters/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-661" style="margin: 5px;" title="Denver Painter on Twitter" src="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/twitter-painting-experts.jpg" alt="Denver Painter on Twitter" width="200" height="200" align="right" /></a>Twitter&#8217;s most Famous Painters</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Looking deep in Twitter&#8217;s paint bucket, finding the most active <a title="Denver Painting Contractors" href="http://paintingdenver.net/">House Painting</a> Accounts listed below. List is not rated in level of importance, grade point, value. Just a great collection of some great Twitter users that I follow and suggest that you do too! If you like my post please sign in with your Twitter or Facebook accounts in the comments section and leave your comment below. I believe Twitter to be a great network of internet-savvy people<span id="more-547"></span>. I have personally made quite a few great connections already and will be an avid Twitter user for a long time to come. I&#8217;d like to recommend a good source to rate an individual twitter account&#8217;s value is <a title="What's my Twitter Account Worth" rel="nofollow" href="http://whatsmytwitteraccountworth.com/">What&#8217;s my Twitter Account Worth</a>, along with <a title="Twitter Grader" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.grader.com/">Twitter Grade</a>. Level of state&#8217;s twitter area ranking can be found at <a title="Twitter States" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.twitterstates.com/">TwitStates</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Having reached some interesting conclusions with House Painters and Twitter, without using either one of these helpful apps above.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify; ">
<li>Probably not listing all painting contractors, as many new accounts are made each day on twitter, and I should perform searches more frequently. Placing all found in  <a title="Painting Denver's / House Painters List" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/PaintingDenver/housepainters">Painting Denver&#8217;s House Painter&#8217;s List</a>, listing around 99 individual Painting Companies.</li>
<li>Out of List, only 7 follow this list.</li>
<li>Out of List, approximately 20 reciprocating followings, building friendships in either same towns, or across the nation, <a title="Kelloggs Paint Co" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/KelloggsPaintCo">right </a><a title="Tom Kelloggs" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/KelloggsPaintCo">Tom</a>? Tom and I are pretty tight, bouncing things for our web sites, house painting techniques, helping each others SEO. <a title="Kelloggs Painting" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.kelloggspainting.com/">Kelloggs Painting</a> in NY, me in Denver.</li>
<li>Many twitter accounts are made one day, some of those being painting contractors and house painting, then never tweeting on a regular basis, and following back, so is part of Famous Painters ranking equation.</li>
<li>Some may be active, but not following, possibly thinking of being competitors, maybe reveling trade house painting secrets, I have not a clue.</li>
<li>Being here in Denver, making several friends who also are in the same industry, many of us may have never met without being here on twitter, <a title="The Happy Painter" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/thehappypainter">right Larry</a>? JSYK, Larry and <a title="The Happy Painter" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.happypainter.com/">All Phase Painting</a> and  I share the same town, and has added great enjoyment to my twitter experience. Thanks again, Friend!</li>
<li>Then some just may not enjoy twitter, and see no great benefit having this type of social media account.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; ">No Direct Competition:</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Yes, I&#8217;ve been guilty first starting my twitter account, being reluctant following,  befriending socially with similar businesses in the past. But seeing what twitter is all about, knowing we are all not in direct competition, twitter account brings down all of these barriers. Even living in the same town, not direct competition, as there&#8217;s always enough work to go around with a couple-five million households and a few socially inclined Painting Contractors.  <img src='http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  So, don&#8217;t understand the hang-up.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; "><strong>Learning from One Another:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">More similar painting companies are spread out across the nation, listed below, so no competition whats so ever, although having very similar business models. Finding good stuff bouncing things off one another. I&#8217;ve personally been painting homes for over 30 years, but will be first to say, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know everything&#8221;, learning from others. I&#8217;m learning a lot from friends listed below, hopefully giving back the same.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; "><strong>Building SEO:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Having a Twitter account, re-tweeting other comments, is the first time I&#8217;ve felt comfortable promoting other painting contractors, building friendships at the same time. Uncovering the video listed at <a title="SEOmozBlog" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-optimizing-topic-pages">SEOmozblog</a> supports the value mentioning like-minded businesses from time to time, building a combination of in-bound and out-bound links, which in turn gives both article originator and commenter link luv to one&#8217;s web site and search engine optimization. Great video to watch~ Think everyone wishes to be listed 1st. on page one, who wouldn&#8217;t? The way to get there will take some effort, as the Google&#8217;s, Yahoo&#8217;s and Bings require today. Giving out relative current information, the strongest will survive in 2010.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.remodelqa.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-579" title="Remodel Questions" src="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/remodelQA.PNG" alt="remodelQA" width="73" height="73" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.trulia.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-580" title="Trulia" src="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/trulia_logo_small.png" alt="trulia_logo_small" width="112" height="46" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Grouping together is not really happening on twitter, as we do on <a title="RemodelQA" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.remodelqa.com/contractors/eco-paint-specialists-aurora-co-1">RemodelQA</a> and Real Estate Brokers do on <a title="Trulia" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.trulia.com/profile/paintingdenver/">Trulia</a>. This helps search engine optimization, building <strong>content</strong>. 3 magic words with SEO. Content, Content, &amp; more Content! Your site will quickly start ranking higher in page rank on various search engines, while building in-bound links for every post. Building good SEO is a having a well balance of many various forms of content.</p>
<h3>More on Twitter List:</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">If your listed on a List, Follow that list! You get credit seeing all posts from one&#8217;s list, but does not count against your maximum following number, which you will not be thrown into twitter&#8217;s sandbox, not able to follow any more. Not mentioning twitter courtesy, someone thinks enough putting you in a list, follow it for goodness gracious.  <img src='http://paintingdenver.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><br />
</span></strong></p>
<h3><strong>Conclusion:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Maybe when this is read, our group and similar ones in the same industry will follow, friend up with one another on twitter. Seeing House Painting and Painting Contractors are not following one another as much as they could, what twitter was developed and invented for in the first place. From an SEO standpoint, having twitter account is a very positive thing, seeing rewards now with HubSpot&#8217;s  <a title="WebSiteGrader" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.websitegrader.com">WebSiteGrader </a><a name="social media account"></a>now giving credit having twitter account tied with a web site.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Do you have a Twitter List? List it below! Get visibility and followers.</strong></li>
<li><strong>What are your thoughts, seeing house painters generally not following one another, or just not following the knucklehead Cal.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Are you satisfied with your Search Engine ranking? Where you show up when searched.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Not being a Painting Contractor, being in another industry, does your group follow one another more regularly?</strong></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong>Eco Paint Specialist&#8217;s Leading the Pack  Once Again;</strong></div>
<p><strong>Just as Eco Paint Specialist&#8217;s was the First</strong> to coined the phrase <a title="First to coin phrase Eco Paint" href="http://www.paintingdenver.net/ourhistory.html">Eco Paint</a> in 1993, it is again leading the way, giving the customer the added value, security and convenience of <a title="America's First Online Payment Form for Contractors" href="http://www.paintingdenver.net/contactus.html" target="_self">Online Payment Form</a> in the Painting Contractors arena.<span id="more-391"></span></p>
<div><strong>Eco Paint Specialist&#8217;s Painting Denver Colorado Springs is also the First</strong> to combined the idea of e-commerce and paying invoices online through a SSL secure/encrypted payment form for service oriented companies. E-commerce is nothing new, but also providing the added convenience online -And- security paying a contractor through a web site is. Many contractors whether it be roofing, electrical, flooring, most trades accept Visa, Master-Card, &amp; Discover. Either bringing the card reader to the home, or asking for card number and secret 3 digit security number on the back, many times this is written down. Writing this information down leaves a paper-trail, opening the door for breaches in security. If written documents are not disposed of properly, and documents are obtained by unscrupulous and deviant minds, these numbers written down can easily be compromised. Another term for this dishonesty is <a title="Credit Card, Debit Card or ATM Card Skimming" href="http://www.seema-musings.blogspot.com/">skimming</a>.</div>
<p>To rectify this possibility of breach in security, Eco Paint has implemented an Online Payment Form, eliminating any such concerns.  Leading the paths for all others to follow in the service oriented areas.</p>
<p>Concocted by Cal Phillips &amp; Eco Paint, it took 3 major companies all working together, making this possible.<br />
1) Formally known as Heritage Web Design now <a title="HIT" href="http://www.heritagewebdesign.com" target="_self">HIT Web Design<br />
</a>2) Major Credit Card Gateway<br />
3) Credit Card Merchant Processing</p>
<p>Typical expense for this each month ranges from $20.00 &#8211; $25.00 per mo. + transaction percentage, which varies from one processing company to another. <a title="Heritage Web Design" href="http://images.trulia.com/blogimg/8/b/a/8/933071_1261638313592_o.jpg">Contact Heritage for further information. </a></p>

<h2><a title="Permanent link to Best Time to Paint" rel="bookmark" href="http://ecopaintspecialists.wordpress.com/2009/05/03/best-time-to-paint/"></a></h2>
<p><a href="http://ecopaintspecialists.wordpress.com/2009/05/03/best-time-to-paint/" target="_self">May 3, 2009 at 10:51 am</a></p>
<div>
<div>
<p><strong>Many often ask when is the best time to paint. 1st. It must be  determined whether interior or exterior. We’ll speak of interior for  now.<br />
Here is a list best times painting interiors, not listed in importance,  as each person’s home may have different priorities.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://paintingdenver.net/blog/2009/10/more-helpful-estimating-tips-for-interior-painting/" target="_self">Reasons to Paint</a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong>Paint before adding an addition to the family</strong>, either a  new born or relative. Important using new Green Eco Friendly paint, which has  low to no V.O.C’s (volatile odor content) which typically is the ammonia even  in water borne latex paints, which can linger for up to 3 years. However, as  weeks go by, we get accustomed to the smell.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Paint before replacing flooring.</strong> It’s cheaper hiring a  paint contractor if they paint without having to mask carpet, so if replacing,  paint just before new carpet delivery. Easier to paint yourself, without having  to mask it as well. Can paint all the way down past carpet, as this can be  pulled up away from baseboards, making much concise and thorough job.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Paint after purchasing or before selling home </strong>When  purchasing, home is ordinarily empty, making painting interior less expensive when hiring a painting contractor. Hiring a painting contractor allows time to take care of other things associated with the move, and normally does not include painting the interior, especially being from out-of-town.  Even being local, moving has many tasks involved from notifying Post Office and Schools, to Packing and scheduling the actual move. Most wish having a clean up-to-date decor to move into, and with a week or two&#8217;s notice this can be accomplished given ample time frame. Painting Interior or Painting Exterior before/after moving,  will add value, giving that curb appeal even inside, while also giving a valued edge over the other home.  If questioning the roi on home painting before listing, ask your Real Estate Agent, as they are trained as well as Eco Paint Specialist&#8217;s figuring out which way would be the best from a cost/roi standpoint.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Paint before entertaining family and friends, especially before Thanksgiving or Christmas.</strong> Many times during the rush of the year, holidays sneak upon us, not realizing how in need a fresh coat of paint is needed. Family from out of town is coming in, and a freshening up of walls, trim, and or ceiling is in the plan.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Interior Painting given as a gift.</strong> During these economic times, making use of what is needed in the first place makes sense, being practical. Both husband and wife get enjoyment of new updated color scheme, which is one of the most inexpensive means of interior decorating.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Paint before adding new furniture</strong> Paint a room before  adding new furniture, and after moving out the old. This is also a good time to  vacuum in places you may only get to every 6 months. Painting an empty room  makes the ease work flow so much easier. Not having to cover anything, having to  walk around.</p>
<p><strong>Painting Exteriors a few above overlap, but will mention others to complete  this area of thought.</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong>Order of business painting exteriors is Pressure  Cleaning.</strong> Pressure Cleaning or sometimes referred to as Power Washing  with high pressure washer using outside facet, cleans dirt and debris that is  normally not seen by the naked eye. Exterior surfaces act as a magnet to dust  and airborne material in the air just as a air filter is to a car. Not trying to  peel the paint off with washer, it is used to clean dirt and debris. Further  paint removal is accomplished by hand scraping a day or two after cleaning has  taken place.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Best time to paint exteriors is temperature  related.</strong> After preparation is accomplished, start painting in the  morning time, as it generally warms up throughout the day, allowing to dry  properly. Best temps. are any thing above 40 degrees.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Best time painting exteriors is just after purchasing home adding  your own personal touch &amp; footprint to property. </strong>Have helped countless new homeowners, and is exciting seeing the transition for both us and them.</p>
<p>4<strong>. Best time painting exteriors is before you list your home to sell. </strong>Several theories or angles to this, will mention two important ones. First, if the home is in dire need of an exterior painting job, the cost involved for painting will easily offset what would probably  be discounted, having an exterior in poor shape.  Second, if the home is in reasonably good shape, but having a fresh coat of paint makes everything as crisp as possible, giving that curb appeal that all homes for sale desperately need for a quick sale. We painted a home last year in South East Aurora CO. Going back on Saturday to make final touch-ups and paint the front door, this home was having it&#8217;s first showing. All taking place around 10 am. finding out later that family purchased the home on the spot, and our customer retired and relocated to San Antonio TX.  This was exciting for both of us!</p>
<p>5. <strong>Best time to paint exteriors is when it actually needs  it!</strong> Peeling paint is the first clue, but showing blotches or oil spots  on siding is another, as paint has dried out enough not protecting any longer.  Paint is like a vinyl coating, longer warranties have longer duration of  elasticity which gives the paint ability to stretch as the home moves the  slightest. Yes, you can wait an additional year, but not recommended as wood can  deteriorate unprotected in a years time. Different extreme weather elements can  cause boards to curl, rot, and split if not protected with a elastic paint  coating. Done right, an exterior painting job should last 15-25 years, as we provide, painting Denver Homes up and down Colorado&#8217;s Front Range.</p>
