Selecting
Interior Paint Colors |
|
Bring carpet,
tile, fabric swatches, etc. to the store to help
select a color, but look at your color selections in
the room before finalizing them. Lighting can alter
your perception of color dramatically, and the color
you though was perfect in the store can appear
completely off in the room. It's best to paint a test
sample before doing the whole area.

Estimating
Interior Paint Quantity |

A gallon of
interior paint covers approximately 400 square feet on
smooth wallboard. That's enough to do an average 12 X
14 room with one coat. A quart will cover approximately
one full 12 foot wall.

Exterior Paint vs. Exterior Stain |
|
Exterior
paints are generally longer lasting and more
protective, however exterior stains are less prone to
peeling problems and generally require less prep work when it's
time to recoat. Exterior stains can also offer a more
rustic or natural look.

Deck
Stains |
|
All wood decks
require constant maintenance. The horizontal surfaces,
such as floors and stairs, should be coated every 1 to
2 years and vertical surfaces, such as rails, every 2
to 4 years. Products that suggest 4-5 year protection
on decks simply aren't being practical for Avon /
Farmington Valley conditions.
