Hiring Painters and Decorators

It does cost more, but you'll save time and trouble with the right painters! You will want to resolve decorating issues first before attacking ceiling and walls though. Adjustments to doors, windows and wall boards should be done first before putting the word out for a paint job.

Observe the usual preliminaries before contracting a painter to go over your home: get quotes from several painters, consult colour charts for comparisons and colour scheme planning, ask for references from previous work done, or a portfolio of past work and see if they meet your standards.

As you draw up the contract, have crucial details put into writing like the type of paintwork to be done, brand and shade of paint, complementary services such as post-painting clean-up, time frame and work schedule.

Prep up the area to be painted by getting furniture and appliances out of the way, or cover them up adequately. Remove anything that might permamently abosrb volatile elements in the paint. Allow some time for paint drying and curing, consult with the painters on how long it will take for paint fumes to disappear.

Decorators work their magic best when you have a full picture of the room you have in mind, and they're there to help you flesh out your vision. Decorators will compose the focal point of the room, mix and match fabrics, furniture and other room elements, source and arrange decor, and create functional spaces that provide the right kind of mood! They'll also help you discover new ways of creating storage space, ambient lighting, natural ventilation and energy pathways throughout your home.
