It’s Time To Begin Your Exterior Painting In OKC

The first, official day of spring is March 19th. Spring means spending time outdoors, baseball games and time to begin home improvement projects. In fact, spring is the absolute best time of year to start your home painting projects like exterior painting for your home.

At Paint It OKC, our preferred paint partner is Sherwin Williams. They are known for their vibrant colors and durable paints. Sherwin Williams has developed coatings that allow exterior painting in cooler temperatures as low as 35 degrees. According to usclimatedata.com, the average March and April low temperature in Oklahoma sits around 45-46 degrees. These mild temperatures provide an optimal environment for exterior painting in Oklahoma City. Milder weather will allow exterior painting to form a stronger bond with your home’s siding or wood.

Another benefit of painting your home in the spring is increased protection from the elements. The right exterior paint from Sherwin Williams can shield your home’s siding or wood from intense UV rays in the summer and nasty precipitation like ice and snow in the winter. You are essentially extending the longevity of your home by making sure it is covered when the weather gets extreme.

The time to begin all your spring and summer projects for 2016 is upon us. Exterior paint color for your home will be the focal point around which you will begin to coordinate complementary colors of flowerbeds or lawn and garden accent pieces. Getting rid of blemishes from old paint, or simply deciding it’s time for a change to your home’s color, will get your creative juices flowing on other home improvements you might make this year.

Our expert painters are ready to help you choose the right color and paint type for your home. Call us for a free estimate and we can show you the possibilities of how your home can look. It’s time to be the envy of the neighborhood with a freshly painted home, and calling us early means we can get to your project quicker.

Wood Trim, Fence and Deck Staining in OKC

Now that spring is near, we have been working on a higher volume of home improvement projects. Most of these projects are house painting related, but we’ve also been getting a lot of requests for wood staining; particularly for fences, decks, baseboard trim, and exposed beams. Paint It is known for interior painting and exterior painting in OKC, but we also have the expertise to work on many other projects too, which is why today’s blog is dedicated to wood staining.

 

  • Fence Staining

If you’re on the fence about whether or not to get your fence stained (see what we did there), we suggest you call us! Fresh fence staining will help prevent rotting, splitting, and may even increase your home’s value! Staining wood fences is a process, but we make it as streamlined as possible for you at Paint It. Before we begin fence staining, a Paint It project manager will help customers first select the right stain material and color. The fence gets power washed, which cleans off any dirt, grime, mold or mildew. Next, we’ll stain and seal the fence before a project manager gives a final walk through inspection to address any concerns.

Pool season is just a few months away, and there’s no better way to give your pool area an upgrade than by giving your deck a fresh, new look with a high-quality deck staining. Plus, regular deck staining helps protect the surface from sun and water damage, which is something pool owners should keep in mind. Paint It will walk the customer through the process of deck staining, which is the same process for staining fences mentioned above.

 

  •  Baseboard Trim Staining

Depending on the color of the stain chosen and the type of trim used, a home can be perceived as traditional, rustic, bold or edgy. Come to us with a vision for your home’s baseboard trim, and one of Paint It’s dedicated project managers will guide you through the entire project. We will start with stain material and color selection. There are a lot of variables that go into choosing stain, and there are many finishes and colors available. Paint It is a stain expert, and we will help you find the right color and type of stain for your home.

 

  • Staining Exposed Beams

Staining the exposed support beams can give your home a finished look that it may have been lacking. There are many wood beam styles used in modern construction, and keeping them stained keeps them looking good while protecting them from deterioration.

3 Sheens For Interior Painting

Paint It is an OKC house painter that is giving some interior painting tips.

After months of being cooped up inside, cringing at the frigid weather, you may be getting tired of looking at the same old walls. If this is the case, it may be time for a makeover. The first step? Choosing which paint color you want to change your walls to. The second? Deciding which paint sheens are the best for certain rooms in your home or business. With the countless available options, it can be difficult to decide what is best for you. Here is a quick guide on what the three most popular interior painting sheens are, and where in your home or business they would best serve.

 

Flat

A Flat sheen has a matte, non-reflective finish that is most often used for ceilings and new construction projects. It is precisely the non-reflective finish that easily camouflages imperfections acquired during the building process. While the Flat sheen does provide a smooth, subtle look, it is very difficult to clean. This is due to the porous nature of the paint in that it holds dirt and other debris. For this reason, the Flat sheen is recommended for low-traffic areas such as spare bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, family rooms, closets and ceilings.

 

Eggshell/Satin

The Eggshell/Satin sheen offers a soft, smooth finish for low to medium-traffic areas. This low-luster sheen delivers an elegant look and is more easily cleaned than Flat sheens. For these reasons, the Eggshell/Satin sheen would be best suited for interior painting projects like bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, family rooms, kid’s rooms, hallways, and foyers.

 

Gloss

The highest-luster and most easily cleaned sheen is the Gloss sheen. This durable and polished sheen can be scrubbed down whenever needed and is great for high-traffic and messy spaces. Due to the durability and fine gleam of this sheen, it is recommended for kitchens, bathrooms, and wooden surfaces such as trim, molding, doors, and cabinets.

 

Now that you know what the three most used sheens are, and you know which areas of a home or business they best serve, you can make some intelligent interior painting decisions. It’s time to make a change and get those drab winter walls in shape for spring! If you still aren’t quite sure what would look best in your home or office, call your interior painting professionals at Paint It OKC today and receive a free consultation.

Advice on how to find the best OKC house painter.

How To Choose An OKC Painting Company

Ever feel like you need a change of scenery? Sometimes you get tired of looking at the same color on your walls, and sometimes the style of your home’s previous owners is just unbearable. Whatever the reasons may be for wanting to change things up, it’s obviously time to call a painting company. However, with so many choices, it can be difficult to decide which painting company best suits your needs. That’s why we’re here to help with five tips on how to find the right OKC painter for you!

  1. Do Your Homework.

The most efficient way to begin your search for a quality painting company is to check references and review websites. Ask friends and family which painting companies in OKC they have used in the past, and what their experience was like. Those with the best reviews are great places to look into first!

  1. Conduct an Interview.

Once you have found a few painting companies to look into, it’s time to set up a meeting. This is a great way to get to know some OKC painters while learning about their experience. Ask questions about projects they have completed similar to the one you are pursuing and ask for some creative insight. Paint It offers free consultations.

  1. Get a Formal Estimate.

After you’ve spoken with several painting companies, ask for formal cost estimates. Having different estimates will help you choose the most qualified painting company at the best price. This is also the appropriate time to ask about warranties, guarantees and company insurance.

  1. Check out Materials.

To be sure you are getting the best bang for your buck, ask about which paints and materials the painting companies you’re interested in will be using. For paints, we recommend Sherwin Williams. Searching for online reviews and website information are excellent ways to check out which paints, primers, and other supplies have the best quality.

  1. Learn About the Before and After.

Before officially hiring a painting company, you should look into what they offer for prep work and clean up. In order to avoid messy lines and unnecessary mistakes, it is vital that your painting contractor preps well, covering ALL at-risk surfaces. If your home was built before 1978, you may have lead paint. Have your service providers conduct a test so that these layers are not disturbed and released into the environment. Finally, make certain that your company does a thorough clean up on completion of the job, so that you aren’t left with remaining trash.

                  At this point you have probably done your research, interviewed painters, and compared options. By using these tips, you should have gathered all of the information that will help you choose the best painting company in Oklahoma City. Paint It is a recognized OKC painting company that you can trust. We will not only meet all your expectations, but we will become your go-to painting professionals!

2016 Pantone Paint Colors of the Year

The holidays are over, and 2016 is here! This means you have a blank canvas (or wall) in front of you to paint it any way you would like for the next twelve months. Whether you have completed your list of resolutions for 2016 or not, maybe one resolution to think about should be finally completing the painting project you have been putting off for years.

This color influences trends in interior decorating, fashion and more, so each year Pantone’s announcement is much anticipated.

Paint It OKC and the paint colors of the year.In 2016, for the first time ever, Pantone announced the Pantone colors of the year. The 2016 paint colors of the year are Rose Quartz and Serenity. Rose Quartz, a tone of pink that conveys peacefulness and goodwill, can best be described as gentle, but strong. This tone of pink conveys peacefulness and goodwill. Serenity, on the other hand, which symbolizes wide open skies, brings balance, order, and ease.

Color combinations are a huge part of making the right statement in your home. If you want to incorporate popular home decorating trends, Rose Quartz and Serenity look great in a glossy, metallic or matte finish, and they pair well with earthy tones such as browns, greens, and purples. Any shade of yellow or pink is also a great accent to Rose Quartz and Serenity. If you’re feeling daring, use silver and brighter colors as accents to create a space with lots of character.

Tips For Exterior Painting In OKC

Paint It is the best exterior painting company in OKC. Our team has completed thousands of projects, so you can count on us to be a professional exterior painter. Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about exterior painting, and on today’s blog, we’re sharing what we’ve learned with you.

  • Timing

Think ahead before picking a date to paint. When selecting a date for your exterior painting project, it’s important to pick a time of year that is known for dry weather with low chances of rain or intense humidity. Think ahead and plan accordingly because paint will not stick to wet surfaces. According to rssweather.com, January is the driest month for painting in Oklahoma City.

  • Materials

At Paint It OKC, we’re proud to carry Sherwin Williams paints. Every heard the term, “You get what you pay for,”? This is especially true when it comes to paints used for exterior painting projects. You may think you’re saving money by hiring exterior painters who charge the least for their services. Most of the so called economy painters will use the cheapest products available. There are many of these painters in OKC, and they will actually end up costing you more money re-painting as time goes on. Higher quality paint like Sherwin Williams lasts longer in the elements and it creates better coverage.

  • Prep Work

If your home or business has siding that is dirty, chipping or rough, you can’t skip the prep work needed for your exterior painting project. We’ve got you covered. Our exterior painting team will clean the entire surface you want painted. We’ll remove mold, mildew, peeling paint or dirt with a professional-grade power washing. Then we’ll cover your ground, plants or bushes below. We always cover any outdoor furniture, grills, accessories or valuable property in the immediate area we are painting. Your door handles, light fixtures and trim will be protected as well.

  • Add Texture

When painting surfaces that will often be walked on, like porches or steps, leaving them with only paint for the surface can cause them to become slick. It’s important that you ask your exterior painter to include some kind of texture in your paint. Paint manufacturers produce sand-like additives that provide extra texture for walking surfaces, and Paint It can get this for you.

  • Save Paint

When finished painting, all of the left-over paint will be labeled by our exterior painting team, and it will be left behind for any touch ups you may need in the future.
