Tip #1: Schedule Your Project Early 

Winter is a wonderful time for painting projects because there is typically less demand. At EA Pro Painters, you can request a free estimate before the season starts to get a head start on scheduling. You may call (206) 250-1194 or contact us online.

Tip #2: Choose the Right Paint 

Opt for a high-quality, low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint as it is safer for indoor use. These paints emit fewer harmful chemicals, making them perfect for enclosed spaces during the colder months when windows are less likely to be open for ventilation. Latex paint dries quickly in warm, dry conditions, so maintaining a 'wet edge' is crucial to avoid lap marks and achieve a smooth finish. When applying multiple coats, using new paint ensures that the previous color does not show through. Consult with our experts for recommendations on the best products and ventilation tips. 

Tip #3: Regulate Indoor Temperature 

A consistent indoor temperature is vital for the paint to dry properly. Generally, winter brings low humidity levels, making it easier for paint to dry. However, if the temperature inside your home fluctuates too much, it can affect the paint’s drying process. Our team can advise on the ideal temperature settings for your heating system. 

Tip #4: Use High-Quality Tools 

The quality of brushes and rollers can affect the outcome. As such, invest in only the best options. High-quality roller covers are essential for a smooth finish. Our painters use the best tools and materials to guarantee a smooth and uniform finish, making your interior look its best. Use a putty knife to seal edges with painter's tape for clean lines. With us, you do not need to worry about visible brushstrokes or uneven surfaces.

Tip #5: Prepare Your Home 

The foundation of a successful painting project is proper preparation. The experts at EA Pro Painting will help you move furniture, cover floors with drop cloths, and use painter's tape to protect edges and achieve clean lines. Additionally, we use rosin paper as a nonslip surface under drop cloths to protect floors. Moreover, we address cracks and holes in the walls that will interfere with the quality of the paint job. Protecting floors with drop cloths prevents damage from paint splatter and drips. We will do everything to make the process as smooth and safe as possible.

Tip #6: Utilize Natural Light 

Shorter days mean fewer daylight hours to work with. Start your painting projects early in the day to make the most of natural light. Unlike artificial light, natural light helps you see the actual color of the paint for a more accurate application. EA Pro Painting professionals are skilled at working efficiently within these constraints to deliver excellent results. 

Tip #7: Prime Before Painting 

Applying a primer enhances the adhesion and longevity of the paint. Using a primer with the right nap thickness helps achieve smooth walls by eliminating flashing and texture differences. A primer is especially crucial for new walls, as it seals the surface and prevents stains or imperfections from showing through. Our team will choose the suitable primer based on your walls’ conditions and the type of paint used.

Tip #8: Focus on Proper Technique 

Proper painting techniques — such as applying even pressure when painting and using the right brush strokes and roller patterns — can make a significant difference. Applying a second coat in the opposite direction can also help reduce lap marks and achieve a smooth finish. Our skilled professionals are trained in the best methods to give your home a flawless appearance.

Tip #9: Inspect the Job Thoroughly 

Once the painting process is done, a thorough inspection can help you see missed spots or imperfections. EA Pro Painting holds a final walkthrough with clients to check every inch and make any necessary touch-ups.

Home interior painting can be time-consuming and physically demanding. Hiring a professional painting service like EA Pro Painting can save you time, money, and effort without compromising quality.
