Moving Into A New Home or Condo

When I get calls from a client or a real estate agent for interior painting work on newly bought homes and condos, it is often times routine work. When a new home or condo is purchased, obviously, painting is one of the few things you'll want to do right away, and it is easier to do this step before all your belongings are moved in. This will save time and money. We can make this step quick and painless. All you'll have to do is pick the colors.

Try this tip for choosing colors and never be stumped again.

We'll be happy to give you an estimate or even offer advice for your interior painting project. One piece of advice I regularly give to clients that are unsure of what colors to choose, is to try samples. From Home Depot, Behr offers great little custom color samples that are easy to apply. Try many samples, until the perfect color is found. I've seen over twenty of these little sample cups laying around a customers new home, but in the end, she had the colors she wanted for each room. All the preparation paid off. 

The tester samples from Home Depot are $2.95 each. Buy some cheap brushes to use as well, or wash and reuse one good one.

Interior Painting over the Winter months

Repainting an interior space

As the season is changing from fall to winter, we move from exteriors to interiors. A simple or complex paint job can make an interior space go from cold to warm or boring to fun. Take a look at the color trends for 2013 from Benjamin Moore. Whatever your tastes are, there is sure to be a color to go with. Be adventurous or be practical. Either way a space will can be transformed into something more.

In some situations, the color is not as important as the contrast. Or, if a room is naturally dark, then going with a bright or light color makes sense. Use color hues and tones to your advantage. Ask Eric Welch Painting by filling out the short form on the right of the page for more information.

Below: raw pine is being primed and the knots have been filled with joint compound and sanded to ensure a smooth and even finish. We are applying a Kilz brand premium, primer and it will be topped with two coats of Benjamin Moore, latex paint in a satin sheen. After photos will be coming along as the sun had set by the time we were packed up. P.S. The home owners were thrilled!

We enjoy making your living spaces cleaner, smoother and brighter.
