Another tip! If you’re painting textured walls, even edge lock tape won’t always do the trick! You can put the tape on the wall and then go over the edges with a thin stripe or PAINTABLE clear caulking! One part will come up with the tape, the other stays on the wall under the paint, and keeps the paint from seeping under the edge of the tape. Just remember to keep it thin so you don’t see it on the wall! Hazel February 25, 2015

SF House Painting helps you prevent these issues. We always run a careful, highly detailed assessment of your home before any painting decisions are made. This is a thorough inspection that goes beyond looking at the surface coats of paint, addressing any underlying structural issues as well. Our branch manager uses this assessment, along with the client's input, to consult with the paint team before they even show up to the scene. This way, we keep everyone from the clients to the last man on our paint team fully informed about the process as it unfolds. We want every detail of our client's vision for their house to be implemented perfectly.
Our employees are experienced, professional and courteous. Excellent references are available.
The method used to apply the paint varies, depending on the type of paint and the surface itself. For example, oil-based paint is best applied with a roller, and latex based paint can be sprayed onto the surface. The size of the project, the colors used and the layout of the walls also can affect the method used.

Amy, I am a firm believer that a good shop vac is one of the most important tools a person can have. Sami // Poor & Pretty February 25, 2015
On a raised- or recessed-panel door, start with the inset panels, and then paint the panel moldings and recesses, horizontal rails, vertical stiles, and mullion.
The next option was using oil based primer. That stuff is not fun to work with. The fumes are not fun to work around (be sure to open windows!), and you can’t wash it off without using more chemicals. Fortunately somebody suggested we try bleaching the stains, which sounded a bit more feasible and manageable. So we tried it. Dawning coveralls and face masks, and armed with a pump garden sprayer filled with diluted bleach (mostly water with a couple capfuls of bleach), we attacked the stains. After a couple spray downs, the yellow started to disappear! For a couple of days, we misted the ceiling, waited a couple hours and repeated. Most stains were taken care of, the rest were dissolved enough to prime over.
Not many people know this but adding ceilings to a job actually makes painting the walls slightly easier. Primarily, this has to do with those tricky paint lines in the corners of rooms.
