Painting Tip #1

When removing items that have screws, tape the screws onto the back of the object. (example: taping the screws on the back of a switch plate.)Also, we like to put the screws back into the outlets and clean the switch plates while they are off the wall. This has proven very effective so we don't misplace screws.

 Painting Tip # 3

Painting Over a Popcorn Ceiling

Paint in one direction and stop. Don't roll back and forth because once the popcorn gets wet it starts to peel.

For stains, roll or spray paint the stained spot, with the same color the ceiling will be painted with, and let dry completly before painting the entire ceiling.

If there is a spot that needs a bit more paint, the best solution is to wait for the first coat to dry and then repeat the process.

Painting Tip #2

When removing items such as doorknobs and switch plates, it will be helpful to place them in a bucket.
