Why Homeowners Should Consider Hiring the Experts for Residential Painting

June 4, 2017

If you’re an Oregon homeowner hoping to beautify your home, a painting project can provide many benefits. After a tough winter, you may want to address possible weather damage before it spreads and becomes a larger issue.

And with the real estate market at the largest sales volumes in a decade, it’s a great time to invest in the value of your home.

But many residential painting customers make a big mistake when it comes to starting a paint job. They hire a contractor solely on price.

This can spell disaster. You want to get it right the first time and protect your family and assets.

Before you place a deposit on your paint job let us help.

Here are some reasons you should hire the experts:

1. You’ll Save On Residential Painting Costs

We’ve all heard the phrase: It’s too good to be true.

Unfortunately, when it comes to low-cost painting solutions it usually is too good to be true. Amateurs go off budget, take too long, and often have to come back again and again.

You may even have to pay a second contractor to come in and finish the work. Hiring a professional with experience means getting it right the first time.

You’ll save on actual costs rather than amateur estimates by bringing in an expert at the start.

2. You Can Protect Your Family and Home

Can you afford to have questionable contractors in and around your home? What about the safety threats to you and your family?

Unfortunately, when you hire an amateur firm or a personal contractor you don’t know what you will get.

There’s a good chance you won’t have the benefit of screened, professional, and well-trained employees in and around your home.

You may even be inviting criminals into your home.

Protect your family, home, and assets with a professional.

3. Protect Your Investment

Second to protecting your family and home is protecting the investment you have in your real estate. An expert paint job isn’t just a tool to make your home more beautiful.

Done properly, a professional residential painting project will protect your investment in your home. You don’t want to risk weather damage and interior complications that can come when you hire an amateur.

Protecting your investment means using quality materials and professional application. When performed correctly these investments should be long-lasting and effective at preserving the value of your home.

Hiring an amateur may cost you money every year. Even worse, you may be subject to leaks and exterior deterioration without expert help.

Don’t Risk It

Hiring an expert company means getting your residential project done right.

You can’t afford ugly mistakes. And you can’t handle the hassle of bringing an amateur back in to correct their faulty work over and over again.

Protecting your family and home means hiring a pro. If not, you risk spending more money in the long run.

Instead, you want an experienced professional with a proven track record of success.

Don’t wait to find the best painting options for your home.

Seasonal Painting Tips for Healthcare and Retirement Homes: Maintaining Fresh and Safe Spaces

October 31, 2024

Creating a welcoming, clean, and safe environment is central to maintaining healthcare and retirement homes in the Willamette Valley. These spaces are more than buildings; they’re where residents and patients find care and comfort. So, every detail in the physical environment, from the lighting to the layout, should reflect your commitment to their well-being. One key yet often overlooked detail? Interior painting. When done thoughtfully, it goes far beyond aesthetics—it shapes the atmosphere, reinforces safety, and contributes to a sense of care that’s felt by everyone who walks through the door. Understanding the Needs of Healthcare and Retirement Homes It goes without saying: healthcare and retirement facilities have unique painting needs that go beyond aesthetics. High-traffic areas experience regular wear and tear, and frequent cleaning can cause paint to degrade faster than in typical environments. Additionally, maintaining a sanitary and safe environment is paramount. This is why painting should not only be about beautification but also about durability and hygiene. Seasonal painting schedules allow healthcare and retirement homes to address their most critical areas—like hallways, communal spaces, and entryways—at the right time, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum effectiveness. Seasonal Painting Considerations It’s all about having a predictable maintenance plan, simplifying your to-do list and keeping your facility looking its best throughout the year. 1. Spring/Summer: Refreshing the Exterior and Common Areas Spring and summer are ideal seasons for tackling exterior painting projects. The mild weather conditions mean paint will dry faster, and there’s less risk of moisture interfering with the application. Also consider brightening up communal spaces, such as dining areas and lounges. This can lift spirits and provide a fresh, inviting atmosphere. Seasonal colors like pastels or light neutrals can help create a calm and pleasant environment for residents. Summer into early fall is an ideal time for exterior painting too. The lower chances of rain and consistent temps allow for larger projects to be completed faster and with less interference from the weather. 2. Fall/Winter: Focus on Interior Updates The cooler months are ideal for tackling interior projects. During fall and winter, healthcare and retirement homes often operate at a more predictable pace, making it a good time to schedule interior painting updates without significantly disrupting daily routines. Winter is a great time to refresh patient rooms, hallways, and bathrooms with more durable finishes that can withstand regular cleaning.
