It is that time again, where the paint is peeling and flaking from the walls of your home. You know that you need to get it sorted out soon or the harsh conditions of Anchorage will soon take hold of your house. You know it is not always an easy task, but when you need some painting Anchorage experts are the people to turn to. The time of year can make it easier or a lot harder.
Your home is your castle. When you arrive there you want to feel relaxed and at peace, not stressed out about the possibility of the melting snow causing your walls to rot. This is something you want to tackle as soon as possible, something you can't afford to leave too long. This is something you've probably already started budgeting for. You may even have your trusted contractor's name on speed dial.
Hopefully you have timed it right, you have that short gap of summer, the little that there is. Painting in the snow is not ideal and is often a huge waste of money and resources. You want the paint to be on and dried long before the rains and snow start to fall. So better get cracking while the sun is shining.
If you are thinking of a contractor make sure they are representable. Have a look at what they offer. Do they have a good name in the community? What guarantees do they offer on their work? Are they going to take any short cuts or do the job properly? Are they well equipped to handle your house? Once you have selected the best contractor for you, suiting both your needs and your budget, the rest is relatively easy. Well almost.
Carefully select your color scheme and get the ball rolling. Decide if you are painting the entire house or just parts of the house. You may only need to maintain certain walls or window sills for now. You may also find that your budget cannot afford to repaint the whole house, due to finance problems. Whatever you do, make sure you don't neglect the maintenance or you'll really pay for it later!
Time to start paining. Make sure that you have selected a high grade of paint. You may think you're saving money by buying cheap paint, but his only means that you will be painting your house soon again. The better paint suppliers offer a 5 year guarantee on their products, providing they have been applied correctly. For this reason you may consider using a qualified contractor.
The house should take between one and two coats of paint, depending on the quality. There are a few other things that play a role like the quality of your primer or if you have any dark patches on the walls. This may alter the color of your paint, meaning you'll need extra coats.
Depending on your contractor, you may get a five year guarantee on the work and paint. This is very important to consider, especially if the paint starts peeling after a year. You need to have the peace of mind that as long as you keep maintaining, you are covered.
