House Painting Austin Pros

House painting in Austin is more than just a change of color for your home's exterior or interior - it can affect your moods, your productivity, the intangible "welcoming" of your home and can even affect your monthly utility bills. When it comes to chosing house painters, it's extremely important that they know what they're doing every step of the way, from selecting the correct type of paint to detailed prep work to primer shade and the application of the paint. The many trips to the store, the outlay of money for brushes, rollers, caulking guns, caulk, masking tape, drop cloths, ladders, safety products & everything else - we won't even talk about the mess!

Interior house painting comes with its own set of dos and don'ts. With some thought and planning, it can be a simple, easy, quick task that pays off in a beautiful home you can enjoy for years. There probably isn't a single step in an interior house painting project that's more important than prep work. At Austin House Painting Pros, we'll take all the steps necessary to make sure your interior painting jobs are done right. Sometimes, for really difficult stains like nicotine, smoke damage, permanent marker or lipstick, two coats of primer might be necessary to thoroughly cover the damage.

Choosing the right Austin painting company is extremely important when you consider the climate our homes have to endure. Wood, stucco, metal and other materials are vulnerable to the elements on the exterior of your house, and are under assault from constant human and pet activity on the inside of your house. Painting is the best, easiest and cheapest way to create a barrier and protect your investment. However, if you've ever taken on a house painting job, you know it's a job where you can quickly end up over your head.

Exterior house painting not only beautifies your home, but also protects it. Unlike the interior of your home, a house's exterior is constantly subjected to extremes of heat, sun and weather. As a result, a house constantly settles and moves. It's amazing that a thin layer of primer and paint can serve as well as it does to protect a house and keep it looking good. A house expands as temperatures rise and contracts again as temperatures fall. On top of that, wood surfaces like clapboard, fascia and trim are constantly warping, splitting and moving.
