How to Choose the Right Color of Paint For Your Home

How to Choose the Right Color of Paint For Your Home

Deciding what color to paint your home may seem like a daunting task. But, the professionals at NJ painting are here to help you make your painting project a success.

Everyone has run across paint jobs that do not meet up to par at times. The reason for the painting not meeting up to expectations is because many people fail to examine their house as a whole, and simply buy colors that do not match the appearance of the home.

Your house is your own private abode. But, your home is also how people categorize you; you don’t want to be known as the people with the funky paint job. That’s where we come in; NJ painting will provide you with decorative painting that is not only appealing to your standards, but also to your neighbors.
When you are looking to change the appearance of your home there are a few steps that you should follow before making any drastic decisions.

  1. Patience is a virtue– Get a collection together of different paints that you enjoy looking at. Hold off on making any drastic decisions on paints until you have chosen an overall theme of what you want a particular room to look like.
  2. Decorating samples– Compile a few samples from your local stores. If you are deciding on painting the crown molding of your home, you may want to paint the molding a different color then the walls, to give the room a two-tone effect which will make your molding stand out.
  3. Study the colors– Unless you have a problem seeing certain colors. You want to review over the different colors that you want from your home to determine which colors go together. Many people have multiple ideas running through their heads of how they want a room to look, and suddenly start scrambling colors together that clash.
  4. Choose the right paint finish– If you are using a flat based paint; you want to choose a finish that will allow the room to glow. There are many finishes that you can decide upon. If you want to avoid choosing a finish for a room, you may want to purchase a semi-gloss paint which gives off the feeling that the room is shining. Many people choose semi-gloss paints because they are easy to clean, and give off the appearance that the walls are sparkling because of cleanliness.

Choosing the right paint colors for your home does not need to be a difficult task. Many people decide on white for a home, simply because it creates the illusion that a room is bigger then it appears. But, now-a-days people are becoming fed up with plain white and choose to add some variety to their home.
It’s a good thing to stay away from dark colors, they cause a room to look smaller then it actually is. There is no reason why this happens; it’s just a trick that your eyes play on you from time to time. Were confident that once you decide what colors suit your personality, that your house will look great!

How to Fix a Hole in the Wall

How to fix a hole in the wall

There is probably not a single person alive who has not knocked an unwanted hole into their wall. Whether it be putting a picture up in an unwanted place, or moving furniture around that hits into the wall. Fixing a hole in your wall is actually an easy quick fix job that you can do on your own.

Many people become distraught when they have an unwanted hole knocked into their walls. And, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be. Holes in your walls give off its own kind of signal either that one, you don’t  know how to fix the hole to make it acceptable to guests, or two you don’t know the right home repair company to hire.

The professionals at NJ home repair services would be more then obliged to help you get rid of that unsightly hole no matter how big or small it may appear.

If the hole in your wall is small, you can always attempt to try some of the quick fix techniques to rectify the problem on your own. If the hole you are facing is a small hole like an indention from a nail you can try toothpaste or plaster to fill the hole in. Toothpaste is one of the quickest ways to get rid of small nail holes and does not cost you too much in the long run.

If the hole in your wall is covering a large surface you may have to take a different route to repairing the problem. Some people hesitate to bring a professional into their home to fix the problem in fear of the cost. You can always try a few other methods to fix the hole in your wall before calling in the pros.

1. Patching- You can pick up a basic patch kit from any local department or home improvement store. Patching kits normally cost about $10.00-$15.00, and can do a great job to cover up that pesky hole. Many patching kits include step by step instructions for just about anyone to follow, so you shouldn’t run into any confusion along the way.

2. Buying new drywall- If the hole is too big to apply a patch to, you may have to fix your wall in a more complicated manner. You can do this, by measuring the size of the drywall that needs to be replaced. You then cut out the drywall all the way to the wooden frame of the home. After you have cut the drywall away, you want to place your new piece of drywall in the correct place, screw the drywall to the wooden beam, and begin to apply a mud used for house around the outer corners to blind the drywall in.

Unless you have any deep cracks in the wall you may not need to apply tape. Make sure the mud is flush with the wall. Texture the area that now holds the new drywall. After the texture matches the texture of the room, you can now paint the wall, and your done!
