Tip #9

Do I get a guarantee with that?

From the cars we drive to the clothes we wear to the paint on our walls, products have a warranty. But does your painting contractor?

Ask your contractor if they offer a warranty on their work and what it specifically covers. Some states set minimum requirements for labor warranties.

Most labor warranties will cover hitting a spot that was missed or touching an area up. Just because a contractor warranties their work, doesn’t mean they should be taken advantage of either. A professional will be glad to come back and resolve any issues you may be concerned with.

If it is something outside of what their labor warranty covers, like manufacturing issues with the paint, they may be able to be reimbursed by the paint company. Also, if it is an exterior job and your trees are scraping the house or your sprinklers are spraying the side of the house, a painting contractor cannot be held liable for a damaged paint job.

Be sure and be clear what the warranty covers. Sometimes it will pay off in the long run.

Weird Wednesday Fact

Considering making an accent wall in your home? Like painting any room in your home, it is important to think of what look you’re trying to achieve.

Vibrant colors can bring focus to different elements of the room and maximize the look of a small space. Energetic and bright colors can really enhance the room’s personality. A bright and cheerful guest bathroom or bubbly and upbeat kitchen can give these rooms a little extra flair.

If you’re looking to give your room a cozier feel, a warm color might be the choice you’re after. Vibrant desert colors or shades of grey can make your living space or bedroom more inviting and relaxing.

If you’re looking for a bold color to bring contrast to the room, a black with satin sheen is always a classic look.

Cool color accent walls affectively make any room feel more spacious.

Lunchtime is fast approaching…

Time for tacos and taco facts from the internet

The Word Taco Means “Light Lunch”

Roughly translated, the word taco means “light lunch” there are other translations too, such as “plug” or “wad.” However, most people use the “light lunch” translation. It seems a bit odd considering most people can’t resist tacos enough to keep it light.

Have you had the tacos at Borracho Tacos in City of Carlsbad?

Be sure to take that special someone out and spread the love with tacos. Or go alone and keep all the tacos for yourself.

Paint Tip Tuesday

Cutting in with a brush

This is typically the edge where to different colors meet, commonly the wall and ceiling. There are some basic guidelines when cutting in. Properly load your brush and paint into the edge. You never want to start painting right on your cut edge but work into it. This helps provide a straighter cleaner line. Keep following this edge, or line, until the paint begins to thin out. To keep a consistent line at you paint it is helpful to hold your breath or exhale to keep a steady hand.
