And the easiest way to do that is just to repaint, unless you want visiting relatives to pick out ceiling debris from their ba kwa. Before your rush into it though, here are few things you should know about house painting:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><b> Go direct to the paint companies for the house painting service<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gone are the days when you needed to hire a bunch of contractors, argue about the price (they will explain that paint apparently costs more than the average NASA Mars mission), and worry about whether they can do the job. These days there\u2019s an easy shortcut: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re buying the paint from a brand, like Nippon or Dulux, just have them send a team over to also paint for you. You can get a whole five room flat professionally painted for around $1,500, by people certified by the company. This is better than finding your own contractors, for several reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If anything is damaged in the process (like your $10,000 Persian rug is now splotched white), it is claimed from the contractor\u2019s insurance rather than your home owner\u2019s insurance. The paint companies will work with legitimate contractors, who have valid insurance and are likely to be more responsible.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know you will get the paint you paid for (see below)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know you\u2019ll get quality work. Some contractors are quite happy to get part-timers who can\u2019t paint a fence, and leave you with walls that look like a kindergarten art project.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Yellow is the colour most likely to go wrong <\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are taking a risk with unknown contractors, try not to get them to paint yellow. Many shades of yellow are prone to streaking (you can see the direction of the brush strokes going everywhere, when light reflects off the walls). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not chemists, but this is supposedly due to the pigmentation being \u201cstretched\u201d. Several paint companies will, of course, claim that this isn\u2019t true of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> yellow paint. But play it safe and leave yellow in the hands of professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you\u2019ve never painted your own walls before, but want to try to DIY it, you\u2019d better be an undiscovered Van Gogh if you want to use yellow.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Painting white on untextured surfaces creates sterility<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever looked inside an intensive care unit, and decided \u201cwow, this is what my home should look like\u201d? Do you find inspiration for home d\u00e9cor by looking in your son\u2019s secondary school chemistry lab? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If so, then paint every flat surface white, and you\u2019ll be a few plastic sheets away from making your living room or kitchen look like an operating theatre \/ morgue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to what you see in magazines, simply painting everything white is not going to create that fancy Scandinavian effect. If walls are going to be stark white, they need to complemented by something warm. In the absence of wood, that means adding texture.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> The shade will need to be altered based on the room\u2019s lighting<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The paint colour that you see will always come out a bit different, because of the room\u2019s lighting. For example, a shade of white that seemed quite soft can end up looking like you\u2019re staring into a floodlight, if used in a living room facing the sun. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, the more light the room receives the more the paint colour must be dimmed. White paint, for example, is best dimmed with greys if it\u2019s in a room with a lot of sun. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why it\u2019s worth getting a consultation (again, preferably from the paint company) before you pick a colour. Unless you can foresee how a colour will radiate or dampen based on the light, you could be disappointed after the house painting is done.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Check the receipts<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are getting a new contractor to paint for you, check the receipts from the paints they buy. Some of the less ethical types will source for cheaper paints, which have the same general colour but are less durable (they will flake or peel more quickly).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also want to make sure the contractor is buying the right kind of paint. Outdoor paints are meant to be tougher and more weather resistant, and contain substances that resists mould and mildew (and are strong enough to scrape chunks off your lungs and air passages over time). You can see on the receipt if this is what they\u2019re buying.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>House painting is the simplest way to raise rentability and property value<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, a new coat of paint is all it takes to make a 20-year-old condo look new. When trying to find a tenant, or trying to sell, it\u2019s almost always worth paying for a new paint job. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re wondering about price, a 1,400-square foot condo often costs about $1,500 to just over $2,200 for a complete paint job. This is the cheapest form of renovation you can do. If it results in a tenant signing on for a year, it has paid for itself many times over. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House painting is the cheapest form of renovation you can do.
