Paint is a form of protection. If that protection layer is wearing out, then the materials that have been used to make your home are vulnerable to the elements. Things such as UV damage, dirt and even mould from fauna all break down the strength of the paint. When your home is prepared and painted thoroughly, you have a new barrier to protect you from our harsh QLD climate. At Painter Mate we always recommend to our clients to have your home washed at least once a year to leave that sparkle!
Choosing colours is usually a matter of personal style. If you have already got furnishings within the space, you'll be able to use the furnishings as a point of reference. The use of a professional colour consultant may also be of use. Generally, you do not wish to decide on a wall colour that matches the furnishings. Instead, select a neutral or spectral colour. You'll be able to use online references and colour swatches to decide on a colour you prefer. We have numerous colour charts for you.
Painting your home can be a fun and rewarding experience but most do-it-yourselves underestimate the skill and time it takes to achieve a professional high-quality finish. Some thing to consider include: "Health & Safety: Painting can be hazardous work, whether it's working on ladder or dealing with solvents and dust. Professional painters have the appropriate safety equipment to keep you and your family and themselves safe. Another thing that people usually don't realise is preparation work.
A good quality paint job should last a long time. Interior and exterior paints will have different life spans depending on exposure to the elements and the type of surface to be painted. As a general rule, most paints will last on average 7-10 years. At Painter Mate we guarantee our work for 5 years because we know that we do the right thing! The keys to good paint performance are proper surface preparation, high quality materials & quality application.
There are many factors to consider when determining painting costs - condition of the surface, size of the project and the complexity of the refinishing. Painting is a service industry so you are mainly paying for labour. Usually 25% of the total cost of a painting job will go towards paints, materials and scaffolding. Don't skimp on paint. Quality paint last longer and provide better durability and performance. By spending more on your paint you will be saving money.
No. You should always meet with the painter face-to-face and discuss the project. Give each contractor the same instructions and make sure that they are all quoting on the same amount of preparation. Someone who quotes over the phone may underestimate the amount of work or preparation required and you could be hit with extra charges or a low-quality paint job.
Not all painting contractors are the same. There are several key things to look for when choosing a painter. We are a finishing trade, so the first thing you want is a neat and tidy tradesman! You want to check up all relevant licenses are current and correct. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in your choice that you will be getting the best possible result, because it is your home!
