Home and Garden Stuff
Welcome and Intro

Hey what a great time to get moving on all those home projects!  Ok, too enthusiastic? Do you have a bunch of items on your must do list and it looks like you may not live long enough to complete half of them? The following information compliments of Good Guys Painting  Vancouver WA.

Whether you're cleaning out the garage, installing new carpet, cleaning your driveway, or repainting your bedroom, we have some information for you.

Here's a great winter time project: interior wall and ceiling painting. 

Dangerous, yet fulfilling once completed.  There are two ways to

approach a home painting project. One is do it yourself or DIY, the

other is to hire a professional painting contractor.  There are advantages

and disadvantages to each.

Everyone at some time in their life ends up painting a wall, trimming a

window casement, or painting something in their home or apartment,

or even their car, or recreational vehicle.  The results can be outstanding

and the entire process can be very rewarding emotionally and financially.

The downside to DIY is that it can be a painfully long process and

results are sometimes a mixed conglomeration of streaked paint and

lots of dripping and paint platters on floors and furniture. In some

situations, the overall project may cost almost as much as hiring a

local painting contractor. If you are in Alabama, contact this painting company.

If you've never hired a painting contractor previously, here are some things to look for and questions to ask.  ATTRIBUTION: Some of the following content comes directly from Angie's List.

So, we now know that there is considerable homework that goes into hiring a painting contractor.  For some, that simply means, "DIY guy".  For others, you will need to pick up the phone and get some information.  Here's a big hint:  Highly reputable painting contractors will always come to your home or office, take measurements, then provide you with a written estimate.  Also, top painting companies have staff members who will consult with you on colors and do a color evaluation for you.  This will help you choose the best colors for your painted area.
