Choosing the right painting company for your painting project is a big decision. The painters you select will need to have all the right skills for the job and be extensively trained in everything from proper technique to safety. Moreover, the painters you hire will not only be working on your home but in your home, so you want a company whose workers you can trust and who you know will take good care of your home for the duration of the project.

Temporary employment agencies are popular among professional painting companies, including many around Jacksonville. These agencies provide an easy way to stock the company with short-term laborers who may help complete a task, often as quickly as possible. There are many risks associated with using painters from such agencies. For example, a painter from such an agency may not have been properly trained in how to use the specific paint for a certain project, which could lead to a poor paint job. Likewise, a painter may not have learned how to safely move or stabilize ladders, or how to properly operate the tools or machines needed for the job, which could result in injury to the painter or damage to the property. A painter who is provided from an agency for a single day or a single job may be less reliable and less motivated than a permanent employee who is recognized as part of a team. Temporary employment agencies and their day laborers may be a good fit for painting companies whose main concern is a bottom line, but at The Painting Craftsmen, we do business in a different way.

Elements of Interior Design

When you change interior design, you’re not just changing a few curtains or getting a new rug- you’re changing it into a different space entirely. How the entire picture looks, how you use and live in the space, and even the way each room makes you feel, are all ways that interior design impacts your home. While styles of interior design can look and feel dramatically different, they all incorporate and balance the same basic elements.

Does the color on your walls look dull or faded? By following just a few of the steps in this interior painting guide, you can use interior painting to turn your home into a vibrant space that you love coming home to every day.

How to Choose Paint Color

The first thing you will want to think about with interior painting, is the existing furniture and decor. Most decorators will choose a color based on the existing elements, rather than picking a paint color first and designing the rest of the room decor around it. Find the favorite pieces in your room, then you can look at picking colors that blend in with, or complement these pieces.

Home improvement projects not only make you feel like you are in a brand new home, but add a lot of extra value. The kitchen and bathroom are two rooms where that value goes the farthest. Quality appliances, spaciousness and aesthetic appeal in these two rooms can make all the difference. If you are looking to renovate, there are a few ways where you can save. Before going out to purchase kitchen cabinets or replacing your bathroom cabinets, consider an alternative.  Why replace when you can refinish?
