There are home owners who perform house painting jobs in order to save money. There are also other homeowners who think the job will be more efficiently done by experts in home painting and hire professional house painters.
The chief task of these professionals is to apply paint on the various surfaces of the home. Yet there are more involved in this profession than just paint application. First, they need to provide their clients with the painting service quotation. This quote has to be printed or written neatly to clearly show not just the total amount which a client needs to pay. This accurate quote of the painting services must also include the scope of the job, the duration by which the painting tasks are expected to be completed, the type and the amount of paint and other materials to be used. A number of homeowners gather various quotations from at least 2 or 3 house painters. Some homeowners choose man for the job based on the most affordable services while others choose those who can provide the best quality of house painting.
Once an arrangement with the client is finalized, the house painter should then purchase the painting supplies for the job. The enlisted brand, right color and the appropriate amount of paint must be bought. Depending on what shade or colors the homeowner wants, this shall be prepared and mixed by the painter or by the paint retailer. There are also other painting supplies which he needs to prepare such as the paint primer, paint brushes, rollers and sprayers. If there are certain techniques or effects that the homeowner requires, the house painter must also prepare the appropriate materials for the job such as sponges or masking tapes.
Depending on what type of paint is to be used, he should know which tools will help him in efficiently performing his job. Suppose the paint to be used is oil-based, he should know that this paint may be best applied using a paint roller. If latex paint is to be used, he should use a paint sprayer to apply the coatings.
When all the materials are ready, the house painting professional then proceeds with his duties. Yet before the paint may be applied to the house, there are some surface preparations which he should do to guarantee an excellent painting job. Some walls need to be stripped off its wallpaper or old paint. There are surfaces covered with grime or dust that has to be vacuumed or wiped first. In order to achieve a uniform and smooth painted house, the surface must first be properly sanded by the house painter. The size and layout of the walls as well as the colors of paint required would all help the house painter to determine which painting technique will work best for the job. The house painter should also ensure that he paints only the surfaces that need to be painted. At all costs, the painter should avoid the paint from furniture, carpet, trees, plants, flowers or shrubs.
