• Q:

  What are the warning signs of a bad paint job?

  A:

  One of the first signs that you’ve partnered with the wrong painting contractor is that they fail to do the proper prep work before painting. This is an area where corners are often cut by painters with little experience or by those who want to get a job completed too fast. Another area where corners get cut is in how bad painters will paint in any condition, which means too wet or too dry, too hot or too cold. Conditions need to be within specific parameters if the job is going to be completed correctly. Choosing the wrong paints will also be the hallmark of a bad painting contractor. They’ll often choose inferior paint products or use the wrong finishes, such as using a matte finish in a high-traffic area that needs a glossy finish. Poor painting technique, such as applying paint with streaks, drips and runs, will also be a clear indicator that the painter doesn’t know what they’re doing. And finally, a bad paint job is often one where the painter leaves the work area a total mess.

• Q:

  How will the space be protected?

  A:

  For exterior projects where pressure washing is required, we’ll take care of that first and then we will protect areas of your property that should not get paint on them. For example, we’ll use plastic sheeting on larger items as well as mask your windows and doors so they are protected. We use either drop cloths or plastic to cover your landscaping, walkways, and brickwork. We’ll also ensure that your floors are protected, as well as furniture and fixtures.

• Q:

  Are more expensive paints better?

  A:

  As consumers are often warned, just because you’re paying top dollar doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting the best product. However, in the case of paint that looks amazing and lasts a long, long time, there is a good chance it has more ingredients in it that are intended to improve its durability and aesthetics. These added ingredients make the paint more expensive. Keep in mind that aside from the fact that it is more expensive than budget brand paint, it has more value because it lasts longer and can save you money in the long run.

• Q:

  What is the difference between interior and exterior paints?

  A:

  Interior paints are made with fewer VOCs, which means they don’t fill rooms with fumes. This is particularly important in healthcare facilities or in areas that are in use while the painting project is happening. Exterior paints are often made with ingredients that will help them withstand the elements, from frequent and heavy rain to harsh sunlight, which can fade the color of the paint if it’s not made with protective qualities.

  (Traduit par Google) Quelle est la différence entre les peintures intérieures et extérieures ? (Original) What is the difference between interior and exterior paints?

  A:

  (Traduit par Google) Les peintures intérieures contiennent moins de COV, ce qui signifie qu’elles ne remplissent pas les pièces de fumées. Ceci est particulièrement important dans les établissements de santé ou dans les zones utilisées pendant le projet de peinture. Les peintures extérieures sont souvent fabriquées avec des ingrédients qui les aideront à résister aux éléments, des pluies fréquentes et fortes aux rayons du soleil, qui peuvent décolorer la couleur de la peinture si elle n’est pas fabriquée avec des qualités protectrices.

• Q:

  (Traduit par Google) Quels sont les signes avant-coureurs d’un mauvais travail de peinture ? (Original) What are the warning signs of a bad paint job?

  A:

  (Traduit par Google) L’un des premiers signes que vous avez collaboré avec le mauvais entrepreneur en peinture est qu’il ne parvient pas à effectuer le travail de préparation approprié avant de peindre. Il s’agit d’un domaine dans lequel les peintres peu expérimentés ou ceux qui souhaitent terminer un travail trop rapidement prennent des raccourcis. Un autre domaine où les coins sont coupés est la mauvaise façon dont les peintres peindront dans toutes les conditions, ce qui signifie trop humide ou trop sec, trop chaud ou trop froid. Les conditions doivent respecter des paramètres spécifiques pour que le travail soit effectué correctement. Choisir les mauvaises peintures sera également la marque d’un mauvais entrepreneur en peinture. Ils choisissent souvent des produits de peinture de qualité inférieure ou utilisent des finitions inappropriées, par exemple en utilisant une finition mate dans une zone très fréquentée nécessitant une finition brillante. Une mauvaise technique de peinture, comme appliquer de la peinture avec des stries, des gouttes et des coulures, sera également un indicateur clair que le peintre ne sait pas ce qu'il fait. Et enfin, un mauvais travail de peinture est souvent celui où le peintre laisse la zone de travail en désordre total.

  (Traduit par Google) Comment l’espace sera-t-il protégé ? (Original) How will the space be protected?

  A:

  (Traduit par Google) Pour les projets extérieurs où un lavage sous pression est requis, nous nous en occuperons d’abord, puis nous protégerons les zones de votre propriété qui ne devraient pas être recouvertes de peinture. Par exemple, nous utiliserons des bâches en plastique sur les objets plus gros et masquerons vos fenêtres et portes afin qu’elles soient protégées. Nous utilisons des toiles de protection ou du plastique pour recouvrir votre aménagement paysager, vos allées et votre maçonnerie. Nous veillerons également à ce que vos sols soient protégés, ainsi que vos meubles et accessoires.
