5 Interior Painting Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Painting the interior of a home can revamp
your space and make it feel like you’re living in a brand new home. At Pizzazz
Painting, we are the experts in interior
painting in South Jersey, and we are often asked for advice. Our team has
put together a list of the most common interior painting mistakes and how to
avoid them.
Not Taking The Time To Prep
For many, getting started with their painting
project can be so exciting that they skip out on the prep work. Our expert
interior painters in South Jersey say that the most significant difference
between their work and DIY projects is the lack of proper prep. Proper prep
should include cleaning the walls, scraping off peels, sealing cracks, allowing
the patching compound to dry thoroughly, and carefully applying painter’s tape.
Going Cheap On Rollers And Brushes
Even if you use the highest quality print, it
won’t turn out the same if you skimp on your applicators. Good quality rollers
and brushes provide better coverage and help you use less paint than cheaper
applicators. Having good quality brushes and rollers is worth the splurge since
it will result in more even layers, and the result will be a beautiful paint
job.
Not Having A Plan
Painting aimlessly doesn’t work out for a
good paint job. Instead, make sure to start near the top of the wall (by the
ceiling) and paint going down the wall. This also helps catch any drips, giving
you a smoother finish. Our painting experts know the best techniques to give
your home a flawless paint job. Get a free estimate from one of

Not Using Primer
Primer is incredibly essential when
repainting your home’s interior but is commonly skipped during the process.
Primer helps to mask flaws on the surface and provides you with a long-lasting,
smooth finish. Primer-and-paint-in-one blends are fine to use if the surface
doesn’t have any flaws, was previously painted, or has a flat finish. But if
you’ll be painting over concrete, wood, plaster, porous drywall, or glossy
paint, you’ll want to use a primer on its own as opposed to a
primer-and-paint-in-one mix.
Using Too Much Paint On Your Brushes
Using too much paint on your brushes can result
in heavy drips, and you’ll have to work harder to get an even coat. Instead,
make sure to only dip your brush one-third of the way in. This will still put
enough paint on your brush without wasting it or causing you extra work.
