Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What brand of paint do you use?
We only use high quality paints from reputable brands. The specific brand of paint will depend on a number of factors such as customer preference and the nature of the project.
What's the difference between a good painting contractor and a bad one?
Preparation makes all the difference. One of the keys to a very good painting contractor is extensive preparation of the surface that will be painted. A skilled painter will also be proficient in many different painting techniques and materials.
Can I paint over wallpaper?
This will depend on a number of factors such as the age of the building and if you’ll be updating an area of high moisture such as the bathroom. While you could paint over the wallpaper in most cases, removing the wallpaper before painting would result in a smoother finish. Feel free to ask a We Show Up Painting & Home Improvements team member and we’ll be able to provide the right guidance for your particular scenario.
What can I do to prepare my home prior to painting?
Before We Show Up Painting & Home Improvements or anyone else arrives to paint your home, here are a few things you can do:
- Make sure you know what areas you wanted painted and the colors you want
- If there is any structural damage such as rotted wood, holes, or water damage, have it repaired ahead of time (painting over it is not advised)
- Move cabinets, desks, and anything else away from the walls so that the painters can get around better
- Make sure your walls are free of wall art, plaques, frames, and anything else that could get in the way
How can I keep my new paint project looking like new?
While every paint project has an expiration date, here are some tips for helping yours have a beautiful, long lifespan:
- Wipe down your walls regularly with a microfiber cloth to prevent dirt and dust buildup
- Keep furniture and objects away from the walls to prevent possible paint chipping
- Prevent ongoing exposure to direct sunlight - make good use of your blinds and curtains
- If you have a leaking roof or other moisture issue, immediately get a professional to take care of it (small leaks can eventually lead to mold and paint damage)
