Interior Gathering Spaces

If you build it, they will come. And if you carve out that space in a deep charcoal and envelope it in a rich burgundy, they will gather. Social nooks are places to find inspiration in friends and family and creative color choices can be just the thing to make it happen.

How Much Paint Do I Need?

Sherwin-Williams offers these helpful tips for the amount of painted need for a project:

  1. First calculate the square feet of space that will be coated.
  2. Determine how many square feet a gallon of the intended product will cover.
  3. Divide the number of square feet to be covered by the number of square feet that a given product can cover.


For example, if the product covers 400 square feet, and you are coating 1,000 square feet (1,000 divided by 400 = 2.5), you will need 2.5 gallons. 400 square feet is theoretical because the texture of the substrate, along with the material left on the applicator, and other tools, are not part of this calculation. This information is often available on the data page for the product as well.

Black Magic’s timeless and eternally relevant hue anchors the collection, as the play between its vibrant, supporting colors brings together the best of two styles.

Consider the Cost in Time

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. Many property owners significantly underestimate what it takes to wash, prep, caulk, fill, sand, scrape, mask, pack, place, climb, spray, roll, brush, move and do it all again.

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.

Naturally Talented

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

New Life in Vibrant Blue

A valued customer called the doctor recently with a severe case of faded gray. What can be done? You choose the hue and we’ll do the blue for you. And so the work began. We measured and ordered and cleaned and prepped and scraped and caulked and masked and climbed and sprayed and rolled and brushed all that faded gray away. Health and happiness returned to this home because, as always, we had done the job right the first time. Enjoy!

The hue we do for you can be blue, or you do you and choose. Call Mike 541-497-3804
