One of the best things you can do in your lifetime is to build your own home from the ground up. Having a say in every step of the process can help you create the home you have always dreamed of. Of course, along with this process comes a lot of work and the hiring of several contractors throughout the process. An important part of completing your home is to do the minor details, which is why hiring a qualified painting company is often an important factor to remember.
During the construction process, your home will have individuals going in and out regularly and multiple companies will need to work together to achieve the exact look you desire. When you choose which painters to work with, you need to ensure that they are willing to work with other companies to schedule their work days and times. Also, you will want to make sure that they have experience working during the building process and are equipped to handle painting practically every surface in your home. When you hire a professional team, it will save you time and often money while ensuring that the job is completed properly.
Before beginning the process, you should meet with the contractor of your choosing to discuss the colors and techniques you hope to use in every room. For most, it will be easier to let the professionals handle the entire home, including the main rooms and bedrooms. They may also need to paint ceilings, which is something you should speak to them about and choose a color for. You will also want to schedule when they should arrive to have the optimum paint times during the build process.
Ideally, your painters will lay down a layer of spray primer on the walls and ceilings fairly early in the build process. During the first visit, there should be no other installation in place, such as flooring, trim work, cabinets, closets, toilets, light switches, etc. This will allow the contractors to lay down the primer efficiently without having to worry about getting paint on anything else in the house.
A professional team should sand any surfaces that may need it before laying down any paint. This should eliminate rough spots and ensure that the paint itself lays smoothly on the walls. Also, all ceilings should be sprayed unless there is crown molding that has been installed. This will require a more detailed paintjob and your team should avoid using sprayers.
Once all doors and casings have been installed by a carpenter, your paint team should return to prep and add paint to these items. This is something else you will need to schedule for and discuss. The same goes for the baseboards which will need color added at some point upon installation. Overall, this is a multistep process that will require a lot of collaboration between teams.
After the other contractors have completed their work and the home has been cleaned up again, the painters will return for their final visits. Most companies will put at least two coats of the paint of your choosing on the walls. A quality team will check for any wall damages that may have occurred during the final construction work and make repairs to those areas before completing their work. At the end, you should do a final look through to make sure the colors match your ideas and that everything looks as you wanted it to.
Having painters visit your home during the building process can be much easier than having them arrive upon completion. They will be able to add paint along the way and can be more efficient by using techniques that are not plausible at a completed home. You will get the paintwork you desire throughout your home and, by choosing the right teams, it will be little to no stress on you.
