Is house painting on your mind? If yes, then you’ve come to the right place. Painter Pros is your residential and commercial painting specialist in Bellevue, WA. Painting a house is arguably the simplest way to alter the appearance of any house. But for the project to come out the way you intend it to, it’s important a professional painting contractor is at the helm of things.
Painting is more than just working with buckets of paint and multiple painting brushes. The two, in fact, barely scratch the surface. There are different kinds of painting equipment, a diverse range of color schemes, and a wide variety of brushes to consider. An amateur painter or DIYer would most likely not even know what paintbrush to use for a specific surface or application type. We can put down the specifics of your project like a true professional.
Instead, it’s a traditional 1-1/5 inch nylon-bristle paintbrush with an attached plastic two-piece edge guard that creates precise lines around doors, windows, trim, and other obstacles. Most people prefer a roller or sprayer over a paint brush because of the extra time it can take to properly cover a surface. A large four inch paint brush, however, can cut this time almost in half while still offering the unique finish smaller brushes provide.

Bathroom Painter
A paint job can infuse new life into any bathroom. Since bathroom walls and ceilings need to put up with a significant amount of moisture, we use mildew-resistant, durable paint products. Before we get started with painting your walls, we take care of all the prepping formalities so that the right base is laid out for the paint. We also lay drop cloths on the floor and different fixtures in the space so that they do not get inadvertently stained.
Bathroom painting is as much about the paintbrush as it’s about the paint. We employ angled brushes as they help tackle the trims. For the broader surfaces, we use a paint roller. With a good amount of diligence and proper tools on hand, we help you brighten up a bathroom or give it its long-overdue makeover.
As far as the paint color goes, it’s important you don’t go too flashy. As a thumb rule, look for hues that complement the room or the hallway adjoining the bathroom. We will help you match the wall colors. The process usually starts with color testing. We’ll dab some easy-to-remove paint on the discreet potions of your bathroom walls and ask you for your opinion. If you like what you see, we can go all out with the particular paint color.
Amateur painters usually have a tough time fitting a paint tool or roller behind the toilet. We carry a slender sponge stick that’s purpose-made to clean and paint the wall behind the toilet. If optimal cleaning and painting are still not possible, we can always remove the toilet bowl, get done with the hard-to-access area, and put the bowl back. There is a host of other things we carry out to make sure the paint in the bathroom sticks and the results last longer.
Exterior Painting
There are different aspects to exterior painting and its execution. You need to choose the right formulations for the siding type, select the most eye-catching hues, and ensure the results last longer. Remember, exterior paint is not just giving your house a fresh look but also making sure it withstands freezing winters, soaking rains, blistering summers, and routine bombardment by the UV rays of the sun. In other words, your house’s exterior paint shouldn’t crack, fade, or peel at any cost or under any circumstance for the longest possible time.
If you truly want the exterior paint to live up to its potential, it’s imperative you do not undermine the effort and expense that goes into the painting process. Amateur painters would find it extremely difficult to get the exterior paint of a house right. They are not just short on skills and experience, but also don’t have the manpower needed to finish the job quickly and efficiently.
For ideal results, the exterior paint you use should pack in high-quality resins, additives, and pigments. And for these different elements to do the job and the paint to adhere well, you need a smooth and clean surface. We, at Painter Pros, know the kind of exterior paint to be used for different surfaces and how to prep up a wall before slathering it with paint.
Modern advancements in paint technology – particularly the advent of all-acrylic formulations – have made it relatively easy to find the right exterior paint for a surface. We use paints that are breathable, versatile, and last much longer compared to paints made using acrylic blends or vinyl resins. And since the paint sticks resolutely to a wide variety of surfaces, you can use the paint on wood, metal, vinyl, and masonry with no qualms.
House Painter
When you’re planning to paint your house, your thoughts would usually oscillate between hiring a professional for the job or doing it yourself. Painting is no rocket-science. It’s, in fact, a fairly straightforward DIY task. However, it’s also very easy to mess up. Most homeowners who embark on a DIY house painting journey invariably end up regretting their decision.
You do not require a university education to be a house painter. But you certainly require years of experience and solid working knowledge to become a professional. Our painters have adorned thousands of properties in Bellevue, WA in different colors in the past. They, therefore, know a lot more than just a thing or two about painting a house.
Painting a house properly entails, amongst other things, knowing the different kinds of paints available for painting both the outside and inside of a house. You should know which of the wide variety of paints go with which surface type. The paint that can be used on wood would not necessarily work well with a plastered wall.
You should also know how to properly prep surfaces you intend to paint. Though the fundamental preparation process starts with surface stripping and cleaning, primers and base coats are designed for specific uses. If the product you use doesn’t go well with the paint chosen for the upper coating, be prepared for the consequences. By getting the blend wrong you are not just creating a mess, but all the money and effort spent on the process will go down the drain too.
We, at Painter Pros, make sure you do not encounter such issues. Our painting team would meticulously choose the foundation, paint, and other materials needed for the job so that the end result is exactly as per what was planned. Not to mention, you relieve yourself off so much pressure, hardship, and trouble when you hire us for your house painting job.
Interior Painting
Bulk Paint Brushes
Like with exterior painting, selecting the right colors for the interiors of your house needs a certain level of creativity and imagination. Simply thinking about the color that would look great on your walls wouldn’t ensure a great paint job. In fact, there is no bad or wrong color. Colors are subjective and what may look good to your eye may not look right to someone else. The key lies in the ‘application’. When professionally handled, pretty much any color on your interior walls would look palatable.
Choosing the right color for the interior wall is not just about preferring specific colors. The process involves critically examining the interior space. Ceiling and floor surfaces cannot be overlooked since they are vital color combination elements. Ceilings are traditionally painted white for multiple reasons. One of the major reasons being to help keep the space light and bright and ensure they do not grab attention from the walls.
We help you chose the right colors by presenting you paint samples or color catalogs. We usually take it upon ourselves to peruse the color options in the samples and compare and assess how well they’ll complement the carpets, floors, curtains, furniture, blinds, and decorations in your house. We start by looking at the upholstery and fabric and then observe the various other elements in the space to gauge if they go well with the colors you’ve chosen.
Paint Brush Reviews
If you are planning to sell your house in the near future or the interior painting project is primarily to boost the market value of the property, we would suggest you steer clear of bold colors. Bold hues are extremely polarising. There are buyers who absolutely love them and then there is another set of people who completely despise them. Make sure you do not bring down the chances of selling your house by treading the ‘bold color’ path. However, if you’re planning to stay, you may experiment with any color of your choice.
