The Professional Painters Bend Oregon Licenses Have You Covered

By Dennis King


There is just something about a freshly painted home. It looks better than one that has been beaten up by the weather, with all of the rain, wind, and sand that is part and parcel of Eastern Oregon. Your home here is a beautiful expression of the care you give it. That is why, when it does get to look bad, you look for one of the painters Bend Oregon offers you for this cosmetic work.

You will find a number of painters in Bend, OR. Most of them are simple one or two person companies. Some of them are larger and can handle all of the very different types of painting you may have for them. Some will specialize on the interiors of homes or office buildings, while others do their best work on the exteriors.

There is still the first decision that must be made and that is all on you. That decision is the main color for the surfaces you want painted. The choice of that color, as well as the accent or trim color will make or break the project, so care must be taken to pick the right set.

For a commercial building, the colors you pick might involve your Logo. This is for branding purposes. The accent can meld into the same Logo to complete the effect that makes your whole structure one giant piece of advertising. Your home color will benefit from the imagination you bring to it by selecting a favorite one. Another idea, for your home could be based on a color that is not adequately represented in the neighborhood.

Regardless of the colors selected, the surfaces to be painted, especially if it is the exteriors, will be cleaned thoroughly, first. This is accomplished through the use of a pressure washer. This is to remove any and all loose paint, dirt, dust and other debris. This is necessary because paint will not stick on this or greasy, oily surfaces. Ladders may be used and, for taller structures, scissor lifts or boom trucks may also be used to get high enough for a complete job.

Interiors, if they are going to be spruced up this way, also need to be cleaned, however, there is usually no messy pressure washer involved. The ceilings, walls, and baseboards need this special attention and is done by hand. The key, here, is to remove grease and oils that may be present.

Lead based paint is no longer used for very important reasons, so dangerous paints is not even a consideration. The use of oil based paint is still fairly popular on exteriors. Latex is quite popular for all interiors and the bright colors that are available in both oil based and latex will help you create a very pleasant and colorful statement. The trim colors, for this reason, should be bold as well as the main color.

Bend, OR has many nice homes and yours is probably one of them. One of the reasons for this is that professional painters can increase the curb appeal of just about any home. They can also assist in making the outsides and insides of any commercial building a better looking and more welcoming place to do business. The increase in the asking price when you go to sell will also help you in the long run.
