At Seven’s we help people all the time with tips and tricks to make painting easier.  Here is a list of things we recommend “not” to do when undertaking a painting project…

My 15 cents…

I am going to let you in on a little secret.  Shh!  Okay here goes…

I am a self proclaimed paint addict but I won’t be appearing on that new  ‘Strange Addictions’  show anytime soon (it seems they don’t want people who don’t eat what they’re addicted to).

Anyway,  I do love painting but don’t love the idea of having to apply 4 coats to get the walls covered.  Somewhere around coat number 3 I start getting a little testy.  I don’t love paint that is so sticky you can’t roll it.  I despise paint that splatters everything in somewhat close proximity to the roller.  I can’t stand paint that looks like plastic.  And I really detest any paint that makes my painting job more difficult!   So,  it is  totally worth it to me to spend the extra money and get a great product which translates into a much better painting experience.

How much extra $$? Not as much as you would think.

Did you know premium paint only costs about 15 cents per square foot?
