Professional painting tips with J&J Painting

As professional painters, we’ve seen it all—from unevenly heated rooms causing sweaty walls to choosing the right paint to protect your investment. Whether you’re tackling a DIY paint job or hiring professionals, these tips will help ensure your project’s success.



Interior house painting tips
  1. Combat Sweaty Walls During Winter Painting (painting tip)

Interior house painting during the winter months can cause one to run into the challenge of “sweaty walls”.  Walls will sweat or produce condensation when the area has high humidity or poor ventilation. This can lead to streaks or dripping the paint if you decide to paint without preparing the space adequately. Before starting the paint job in the winter,  keep the heater running but crack a nearby window where you’re painting. This balance between warmth and airflow ensures the wall acts as a good canvas to start painting and it can allow the paint to dry evenly, leaving a flawless finish.

2. Exterior House Maintenance: Power Washing Tips

Even with premium paints like Sherwin Williams’ Emerald, which has a slick finish that rain naturally cleans, an annual power wash is still recommended. Emerald’s durability means it requires less frequent maintenance than cheaper paints, but keeping your home’s exterior clean will prolong the paint’s longevity and maintain its pristine appearance. While Emerald paint lasts 9–10 years compared to the 4–5 years of lower-quality options, regular cleaning ensures your home looks fresh and protects the underlying wood.

3. Increase Your Home’s Value with Paint and Trim Upgrades

A fresh coat of paint does more than beautify—it increases your home’s value. Neutral tones are ideal if you’re selling, as they appeal to a broader range of buyers and highlight your home’s features. Updating trim such as baseboards, crown molding, or windowsills can also create a polished look that impresses potential buyers.

Adding functional upgrades like storage spaces, walk-in closets, or mudrooms can also boost value. Small changes, paired with fresh paint, can make a significant difference when preparing your home for the market.

4. Tips for Hiring Professional Painters

Choosing the right painter is key to a successful project. Here’s what to look for:

  • References: Ask for past clients’ feedback.

  • Professionalism: Are they responsive, punctual, and detail-oriented?

  • Portfolio: Review their previous work to ensure their style matches your needs.

  • Experience: Seasoned painters can handle challenges and deliver quality results.

5. Protect Your Home and Investment

Painting isn’t just cosmetic—it’s about protecting your home. A good coat of paint shields wood from weather damage, reducing costly repairs. During winter, remove snow from decks and doorframes to prevent moisture from seeping into the paint, preserving its durability.

Repainting doesn’t have to break the bank. Here are three ways to save:

  • Schedule during the off-season for discounts.

  • Use high-quality paint like Emerald to reduce frequent repaints.

  • Maintain your paint with power washing and snow removal to extend its life.
