Painting / Decorating in Downpatrick

Interior painting can be a very cost-effective technique to refresh the inside of your house. Painting is sometimes undertaken as a DIY job, but experienced painters and decorators can guarantee a flawless finish and make sure that your decoration is going to look its best for as long as possible.

 

 

You might invest more time getting ready to paint than actually painting. It's highly recommended to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, along with to mask off any areas that should not be painted like skirting, architrave, electrical sockets and light switches. Cover furnishings as well as any carpets or flooring in the room with sheets to protect from any splashes. If you're painting inside, use a primer coat as a base layer and then a number of layers of paint, allowing each layer time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can provide you with lots of suggestions about paint and help you select the most suitable colour scheme for your internal rooms.
