Are Accent Walls for me?

Wow your Family and Friends

Homeowners often ask: How do I know when my house needs to be painted? Here are some reasons: 1) Living near saltwater- Wind picks up saltwater in the air and gets on the house 2) If plants or hanging trees are close to the house- Over time they can grow into the siding- We see a lot of rotted wood in these situations 3 ) If heavily treed area – More mold and Mildew. Are more prone to rot since the siding doesn’t dry out It all l depends on Exposure and the Elements Also, many Washington homes framing of the house contains “tails”. For the fascia of the house, these are the corner edge pieces that hang past the gutters and are exposed. They can tend to rot out. At the first signs of rot, getting a painting contractor out to inspect the home is a must! If caught early, these can be repaired as part of the paint job. If you wait too long, then carpentry needs to be replaced which is more costly. Of course, many homeowners don’t have these conditions, and just want to change the color for a whole new look!

There is so much that goes into hosting a holiday with all the necessary preparations, but one very important detail to keep in mind is having your rooms that you entertain in look fresh, updated , and beautiful. The lovely china laid out on the dining room table, needs to be shown in a room that is warm, and inviting, with freshly updated colors that are pleasing to the eye. Take this opportunity to make your guests feel delighted to be a part of this special event. You have so many great choices from the vast palate of the Rodda color fan deck. We will personally drop it off at your door so that you can simply select your choices right in the comfort of your own home. Once that is done, we highly recommend you then go to the Rodda paint store, to get samples of the colors that you choose, so you can test the color in a very small area, before we paint the rooms. This will ensure that it is the exact color that you want for your home. Let this holiday season be the start of having your home look as beautiful as it can be, with your newly painted rooms for your guest's enjoyment, as well as your own!

Paint Right Painting Painting Homes and Offices in Tacoma, WA

You don't have to settle for old, red brick on your fireplace in your home. Changing the outdated red brick fireplace is a great option that all homeowners have. Not only does it look like a brand new fireplace, it also brightens up the room when a white or off-white color is used, such as the photo below. You don't have to "settle" for what you have, either when you buy a new home, or when you have lived in the home for many years. A new updated brick fireplace will be an exciting change for you, and you will love to show it off to your friends and family members.

Now that the Paint Right Painting LLC website is up and running, we would like you to get to know Chris Wright, the owner and the son of IL President John Wright and VP-Sales and Marketing Kathy Wright. Chris was with the IL company location for 11 years before relocating to Tacoma to build out a presence in WA 2016. 1) What inspired you to go to WA and start the new Paint-Right Painting location? “More work opportunity out here.” 2) How, for painting, is WA different than IL? “For exterior painting, no one brushes and rolls – everyone sprays. With our method of brush/roll, you have more control and apply more paint. You are not wasting materials by spraying it into the air. You need to back roll over the wood by pushing the paint into the wood, or it can lead to failing.” 3) What is the most important thing to communicate to homeowners about painting their home? “Use professionals.” 4) What do you think separates you from the rest of the painting companies in WA? “The painting methods used back in IL (at home) have been proven to work. We have the ability to brush and roll the house exterior in almost the same amount of time it takes to spray a house.” 5)On a personal note, what do you enjoy most about living in the WA area now? “The ability to drive about an hour and be in the middle of the mountains and the lakes.” Pictured is Chris relaxing at his home in the Tacoma area.
