When you own a house or even a condo unit, it is advisable
to have it repainted every five years. When it’s time to do so, you may want to
consider hiring a painting company and have house painters do the
task of repainting the house’s exterior and interior walls.
You might consider doing it yourself to save money, thinking
hiring a painting company is only for commercial painting, but you
can actually save more money, time and effort when you hire the services of a
painting company.
Paint removal, for one, is hard especially if you do not use
the appropriate paint remover. For example, removing paint from
wood requires a specific paint remover while a soy based paint
remover is specific for certain surfaces and objects. You actually need to
scale the walls down or remove paint somehow before repainting especially if
you are going for a new wall color.
Here are some tips on how to get the best paint
remover:
1. Removing Lacquer and Shellac Finishes
Shellac and lacquer are mixed with alcohol (shellac) and
thinners (lacquer). In order to remove these finishes first obtain some
denatured alcohol or lacquer thinners and using steel wool, carefully rub the
soaked steel wool on the item.
2. Removing Paint and Varnish Finishes
To remove paint and similar finishes you will need to get
hold of standard paint stripper. Paint stripper is best applied using a brush,
but don’t apply it like paint, instead ‘dollop’ it on, working it in to the
paint.
3. Using Abrasives to Remove Paint
4. Using Heat to Remove Paint
You can ask for commercial help if you cannot get the
appropriate paint remover or not know how to. Here are a few considerations to
think about when you are torn between hiring dmci condo painters and painting the DMCI unit yourself:
1. Quality work – They are equipped with the proper tools, knowledge and
skill to make sure that all the walls of your home gets a quality paint job.
2. Less stress for you – You just need to check and inspect their work at
