Here are a few interior house painting tips and tricks to make your next project the most successful ever.
Our experts will begin the painting service by prepping the house. They begin with a good, clean power wash, which removes loose paint, helps to provide good adhesion, and applies a prime coat to any raw wood. Depending on the client, caulking would be next and is normally done for all wood siding and wood trim, and special kind of patch for stucco. The last part of the prepping process is completely covering all windows and surfaces that shouldn't receive paint, as well as covering the perimeter of the home with drop cloths or shields. The house is now ready for exterior painting.
Oil-based paint contains more volatile organic compounds (VOCs) than latex, so it’s less “green” and often has a foul (and sometimes even harmful) odor while drying.
Before you stand back and marvel at this huge DIY accomplishment, you’ll need to clean up the worksite. Remove painter’s tape, scrape any paint off of windows, and clean tools and brushes. Seal paint cans by cleaning the inner ring, placing the lid back on the paint can, and gently hammering around the lid’s perimeter with a rubber mallet.
A longtime resident of Sonoma County, Lee expresses his fondness for the flavor of Bay Area life. “From the weather to the food and culture, I love the lifestyle we have in the North Bay. I’ve been to a lot of places and nothing is quite like it.”

Oh wow, this looks like SO much work! I guess I have been renting in big cities for so long and not painting myself. However, any time my family does they DIY – and it’s always a much better, more creative job than when they pay someone!! The whole house is your canvas =) Gerilyn Larsen February 25, 2015
Thanks to easy-to-follow YouTube tutorials, DIY culture is thriving these days. Go ahead and put up that wall shelf, swap out your faucet, and paint the walls yourself—you’ll likely save a lot of money going the DIY route—but when it comes to painting the outside of your house, it’s best to hire pros. That’s because they can often get the best deals on paint (a cost savings), already have all the equipment required, and, well, they’re pros. Painting your house, especially if it’s a multistory house, is exacting, physically demanding, and sometimes dangerous work.
“I would like to thank the entire team at Platinum Painting for their professionalism, promptness and the superior job completed on the exterior and lower level of my home in a record three days. My home looks amazing, greater than it looked at purchase; I cannot stop gawking at the results! Special thanks to Eddy, Jorge, Moses, Julio and also Robby (at Sherwin Williams) for your expertise in explaining and preparing me for each step of the project and following through until the end. I would highly recommend you to my family and friends.”
