What Does A Typical House Painter Do?

by | Jan 6, 2015 | Business

The answer to that question is rather obvious, house painters in San Antonio paint houses both inside and outside. There are and always will be homeowners who paint their own homes but there are also those who know the potential pitfalls and hire a professional to paint their homes. It is not only a lot safer to have professionals, the results are usually superior. From a safety point of view, professionals are accustomed to working on ladders and scaffolding; most homeowners are not comfortable working at heights. One added benefit, a very benefit is that professional house painters are skilled at handling any kind of project and they can create unique colors, textures and finishes that would otherwise be impossible.

There are many commercial house painters in San Antonio that can take on their projects. Depending on the size of the job the company may dispatch a team of painters. In most cases the jobs consist of one or two interior rooms and in this case one skilled painter is all that is needed to prepare and paint the rooms. If the job is to paint the exterior of a large home a team of painters and their helpers will normally be brought in otherwise the job would take an extensive period of time.

Over and above applying paint, a professional house painter knows exactly how to prepare the house for painting. The outside of a house is subjected to all kinds of weather; searing sun in the summer, torrential rains in the spring and snow and hail during the winter. These weather conditions play havoc with the paint, it begins to crack, peel, blister and fade and prior to painting this old paint must be removed and the surface prepared properly. The painter will have to scrape the old paint, fill any cracks or holes with spackling and sand them smooth. If the task is indoors the painter may have to remove old wallpaper. 

Although house painters in San Antonio work year around, exterior painting is often not done in colder months. Even interior painting may have to be delayed periodically because of the weather. When painting the interior of the home it is important that the house is well ventilated due to the paint fumes which, if inhaled can be unhealthy and certainly not pleasant. To do this the windows have to remain open but fortunately in San Antonio rarely does it get that cold that the work cannot be done. 

House painters in San Antonio are equally talented for work on both the exterior and interior of your home. If you are faced with a painting project you are invited to call Shaw Company Remodeling and have them look after it.
