Paint Tips of the Month for December

INTERIOR: If you have to touch up an painted room at a later date, if there is any question that it might not touch up easy, then it is best to plan to do the work at the same temperature as when you painted the original room. If you have bright colors, it will not flash as much where you touched it up.


EXTERIOR: If you are going to touch up stucco outside, best to touch it up with a roller. If you use a brush and too much paint, it will fill in the crevices much more than the original paint, and the spot will stick out like a sore thumb. This also applies to trying paint samples on a house. Brush it out  your samples on a sample board or piece of wood, because when you pick your colors and paint the whole house, you will still be able to see the areas you painted with a brush (it will have filled in the surface more.)

Aesthetics and painting and what we do -- still the best bang for the buck

At Molto Bene we’ve been in business for over 2 decades. We are accomplished artisans who can create beautiful finishes in expensive homes, as evidenced by our website and blog.

However our business started with and still continues to do painting, both interior and exterior.We apply the same concepts of what we do in our fine finishes to any of our paint projects. By applying our knowledge of color harmony and aesthetic to any paint work we take on, we try to create homes with a lot of “eye candy:” 

Whether you are listing a home as a realtor or homeowner or currently buying one, there is no doubt that painting has and always will give the biggest bang for the buck.

As we have stated many times there are two reasons for painting:

1. Protecting the surfaces and property from the elements. 
2. Aesthetics. Many people can provide proper preparation and paint application. Where we really bring it is in the aesthetics department. By experience and sampling colors we can create spaces that create curb appeal when selling and once sold, are aesthetically pleasing to come home to.

Below is an example of what can be done with paint. The first picture is from when the house was first listed for sale. Someone threw a cheap coat of white paint on it. The second is a paint makeover we did with proper use of base and accent colors to create a dramatic difference all with paint. 

Which house would you be interested in buying or living in?

If you have a home you are listing, let us bring our aesthetic to create a space that sells.

If you’ve just recently purchased, let us help bring this same aesthetic to create a space that will be pleasing for years to come.

They don’t call us Molto Bene (”Very Good in Italian”) for nothing!

Ciao
