It’s interior painting season for the Paint Doctor and our clients often say they want white walls. Right, but what white? What do you mean? Isn’t white white? Well that’s a complicated question. When it comes to paint colors, almost every white is not quite, um, white. They all have some tint and the tints put them in different families of colors that are often described as temperatures and even as moods.
Mike can tell you what’s up with whites and help you schedule your interior paint project – 541-497-3804.
It’s that time of the year when we are gearing up for interior jobs, which means are clients are making decisions about interior colors and matching décor. With that in mind, check out the Potter Barn Collection at Sherwin-Williams.
Put down the brush and step away from the building. There is a lot more to painting than brushing, rolling or spraying paint. In fact, all skilled painters understand that most of the job in painting is preparation. Cleaning is essential. Paint cannot adhere when debris in the way.
Peeling paint must be removed or treated. Repair or replace loose or weather damaged siding and trim. Fill holes. Caulk joints.
Don’t overlook masking – this is a task that can make or break the quality of the paint job itself and prevent damaging other surfaces. The right masking materials (tape, paper, plastic sheeting, etc) make a big difference in the results. Clean, straight lines are not automatic. It takes lots of practice to get it right. Understanding the dynamics of the air pressures produced by pressurized paint and how to layer masking, use guards and drop cloths are all big components of a job well done.
Of course you can bring in the pros to do the job right the first time, call Mike at 541-497-3804.

You’ve probably heard the expression “your time is worth something” and at Paint Doctor’s Painting we know it’s true. When you consider the amount of time involved in doing your own paint project compared to hiring the Doctor, we think you will agree.

However, when you hire the pros at Paint Doctor’s Painting, you get an entire crew that is doing all of these operations at once with the speed and accuracy that comes with doing the job right the first time every day. Rather than having your house in that paint-job-in-process mode for weeks, you can have the whole job completed in a day or two.

Reaching every painted surface on your home’s exterior and interior takes more than most homeowners realize.

One of the great features of Northwest architecture is the use of natural wood finishes. On a recent job we had plenty of opportunity to show off our natural wood finishing skills on the accent areas of this coastal home. Soffits, exterior ceilings, facia boards, barge rafters and porch posts all needed the TLC of our professional crew to bring out the natural beauty while protecting the wood from the elements.
Good call choosing natural wood and great call on choosing the right painting company, Paint Doctor’s Painting Service 541-497-3804
