There is no better time to paint than this time of year. Get your house perfect for the holidays by painting your house and keeping yourself busy with a new project! With so many colors to choose from, what better way to express yourself and your personality? Although some people think that you can just pick your color and start painting, priming is key for your house to look amazing. One coat of primer and one coat of paint will give you a better, longer lasting paint job rather than just painting two coats. Priming can hide the darkest color possible which makes the color you chose look richer and more vibrant. If you have water stains or writing, priming blocks stains and prevents them from showing through. It also makes your new paint job last longer and prevents cracking or peeling, meaning less touch-ups. So remember.. prime first THEN paint!
