Hold on ! Before you paint your new or old house, read our tips from this article to avoid making the common mistakes by many who are mostly first time on it.

Avoiding these painting mistakes can save you time, money, and any misery.

You ready ? Here are some mistakes to avoid when it comes to painting your property.

1) Skipping surface preparation
It is crucial to prepare the surfaces before starting the painting job. Clean the walls to remove dirt, dust, and grease. Fix any blemishes, flaws, or cracks to create a smooth surface. Please do so to avoid a subpar paint finish and less durability.

2) Choosing low-quality paint
Investing in high-quality paint can make a significant difference in the outcome of your project. Cheap paints might require more coats, have inferior coverage, and may not last as long as better-quality options. Opt for reputable paint brands and choose the appropriate type for each surface (e.g., interior, exterior, bathroom, kitchen).

High quality paint will significantly impact how well your project turns out. Using cheap paints could need more coats, provide inferior coverage, and may not last long or not be durable.

3) Not using primer
Primer helps create a smooth and uniform surface for the paint to adhere to. It also improves paint adhesion and can prevent stains or color bleed-through. Always use primer on bare surfaces or when going from dark to light colors.

4) Rushing the job
Painting needs our patience and close attention to detail. Rushing the painting job can result in missing spots, visible brush strokes, and uneven coverage. For the best outcome from the painting work, please take your time, have patience and apply multiple thin coats for the best results.

5) Ignoring the weather conditions
Avoid painting on extremely hot, cold, or humid days. Extreme hot or cold weather can affect paint drying times and adhesion, leading to potential issues. Pick a time when the weather is pleasant and not too extreme to do the painting work.

6) Overloading the paintbrush or roller
Excess paint on your brush or roller can lead to drips and uneven application. Use a paint tray or bucket to remove excess paint and apply it in even, controlled strokes.

7) Neglecting to protect surfaces
Cover up the surfaces like flooring, furniture, and fixtures you don’t want to be painted. You can use some dry cloth or old newspapers with tape on the side.

8) Applying a single thick coat
Instead of trying to cover everything in one thick coat, apply multiple thin coats. This approach will give you a smoother finish and better color consistency.

9) Painting over damp surfaces
Never apply paint to wet or damp surfaces because doing so might cause the paint to bubble and peel. Before beginning to paint, please make sure the surfaces are dry.

10) Ignoring proper ventilation
Adequate air ventilation is important, especially when using paint with strong fumes or smells. Open the windows and use fans to ensure good airflow in your property while painting.

11) Not cleaning the tools properly
Please make an effort to clean your brushes, rollers, and other painting tools after using them each time. If you don’t clean up the tools properly before using them for painting, it can lead to a buildup of dried paint and make the tools less effective for future projects.

There you go ! Once you are aware of the above common mistakes and take preventive actions to avoid them, you will achieve a nice & good looking paint job for your property.

Happy painting !
