Water Damage - 12/28/09 09:41 AM
If the trim on your Tallahassee home is showing signs of water damage it’s most likely because it was not properly caulked, primed or painted.

Buy the best, it pays - 12/22/09 09:01 AM
Always buy the best. We have found that lower grades of paint just do not perform as well.

But always plan on two coats even with a top quality paint for best coverage and even finish. Visit a Tallahassee paint store or call your Tallahassee paint professional.

Choose a Primer - 12/10/09 12:07 PM
If you buy an expensive high-quality paint, you expect it to stick around for a while. However, high-quality paint is formulated to work with a primer. Primers allow the paint to grip better and stay around longer. Sure, they may cost a little more up front, but primers will save you money (and time) in the long run. When you purchase primer, make sure you purchase the right kind for the job. Do I need a primer? Primers seal porous surfaces like bare wallboard and sealing water borne stains and tannin stains. Some primers are specially designed to adhere to glossy … (0 comments)
