Most paint companies provide sample cans and testers so that people can gauge whether the color complements their rooms. However, many homeowners start painting their home without using testing how the finished product will look in their space. The result is that many homeowners are not happy with their DIY project upon completion of the job. To ensure you don’t make the same mistake, make use of the test kits before you start painting the home red! Painting without preparing/repairing the surface If you are thinking that a paint job is a panacea that will cure all those holes and cracks in your wall, chances are you might be disappointed with the final result. Painting your walls will do nothing to mask those holes; on the contrary, it’ll highlight them even more. So, before you start off with the paint job, it’s advisable that you prep the surface. Using a drywall compound to patch holes and sanding the surface to achieve a clean, smooth look will help in the success of your paint job. These were the top 3 mistakes that you should avoid if you are house painting in Toronto. As we discussed earlier, if it’s an extensive project and you haven’t ever done it before, you are better off taking the assistance of professional painters. You might end up spending more, but the long-term benefits make it a feasible thing to do.
