As a homeowner, it’s not always obvious when your walls could use a fresh coat of paint. At Prudente Custom Painting, we’re passionate about what we do and pride ourselves on having a sharp eye for spotting anything that might be amiss in the world of paint.
Here are some tips and reasons to consider professional interior painting:
- Fading or discoloration: This one can be tough to notice, especially on walls that you see every day. In rooms with plenty of sun exposure, there’s probably some fading going on, especially if it hasn’t been painted in a few years. If it’s been 5–10 years since you last painted, your walls are probably ready for a refresh. A new coat can bring life back to your space and keep it looking its best.
- Stains that won’t wash off: Stains, scuffs, and grease marks are inevitable, especially in spaces where life happens—like kitchens, hallways, or kids’ rooms. Over time, you may notice that no amount of scrubbing makes a difference. A fresh coat of paint not only covers those stubborn spots but also gives you a chance to choose a more durable, washable finish for future messes.
- Outdated colors: Color trends come and go, and a shade you loved 10 years ago might feel tired or out of place now. Plus, as you update your decor or furniture, old paint colors might clash with the new look. Choosing a modern color palette can make your home feel fresh, stylish, and reflective of your current tastes, turning your space into one that truly feels like home.
- Peeling, cracking, or flaking: When paint begins to peel, crack, or flake, it’s more than just an eyesore—it’s a sign that the paint is no longer doing its job of protecting your walls. This can happen in older homes or in areas exposed to moisture or temperature changes, like bathrooms or basements. Repainting doesn’t just restore beauty; it seals and safeguards your walls, keeping them in great shape for years to come.
