Painting for homes in Forest Heights

Mid-century bungalows with mature yards make up most of the area, some on the slopes above the valley.

Mid-century homes often mix plaster, early drywall, wood siding and stucco, with old oil-based paint that needs a bonding primer before latex goes on.

Homes on the valley edge get more wind and sun on their exposed sides, so paint and stain there fade and peel faster.

Detached garages along the lane often have the most weathered siding and doors on the property, and make a good small exterior job.

Basement rec rooms from earlier renovations are often due for a refresh, and washable finishes hold up best down there.

Common painting jobs

Anything to tell a painter visiting Forest Heights?

Do I need to move furniture before a painter comes?

Ask the painter who accepts your request. Most move furniture to the middle of the room and cover it, but clearing small items first saves time.
