Winter may be the last season that comes to mind when planning a painting project, but it might benefit you to flip your way of thinking. Sure, you’re bound to run into some issues regarding exterior painting during the colder months -- snow, high winds, and low temperatures can all get in the way of the prep work, application process, and dry times. Regardless of these potential outdoor concerns, interior painting is on the table year-round. After all, you have control of your internal climate, so the outside conditions don’t matter here. Even the reality of shorter days can be offset by indoor artificial lighting.
Still, you might wonder what difference winter makes in hiring interior painting services. For starters, the decrease in demand for painting services in the colder months means that customers have more bargaining power. In other words, you can expect painting contracts to cost less during the winter. Beyond that, winter conditions can actually benefit your interior painting project -- namely, lower humidity levels mean fewer issues regarding application and drying. Additionally, most people have less going on during the winter, meaning they can be around when the painting is taking place. This increases accountability and communication, and also allows you to enjoy your spring, summer, and fall to the fullest extent. It’s also a good idea to invest in HOA painting during the winter because shared facilities will probably receive less use during this time, meaning less interference while painting takes place.
Lastly, if you’re concerned about interior paint fumes sticking around during the winter due to decreased ventilation, ask your painters to use low- or zero-VOC paint products. These paints contain few or no volatile organic compounds, meaning they’re relatively odorless and non-toxic.

Its important to know which paint colors to avoid in order to be sure that your home keeps its curb appeal and boosts its market value.  New paint jobs can be a great way to bring a breath of fresh air into any home or business. Colors can be bold and bright or demur and compliment the accents of the room within. There is, however, according to color specialists, some colors that you should avoid. These colors are usually based upon the specific rooms.

Red
Red can be a bold and fun color for an accent wall. It can add interest, however it can also be a fairly intense reaction. The bedroom is no place for a bright red color according to color psychology. The color red can be associated with anger and even violence and does not evoke a feeling of calm and safety like a bedroom should.

White
White walls can be a sleek and clean look in every space. However, it is also important to consider how white walls may become dirty easily. This is why it may be best to stay away from a lot of white paint in the bathroom. Due to soap stains among other stains that may occur in a bathroom, it may be best to stay away from white and instead light blues, light greens, or even soft grays can be perfect choices.

Yellow
Yellow can be great for small accents like furniture or even vases. However, according to Property Brothers, they recommend but using red or yellow on the interior walls of homes. This can be especially bad in a bedroom since, much like red, yellow is so bright and intense that it may not let you relax and be to be overpowering.

Green
Green is another one of the trickier colors to get correct. Green can be bright and fairly overpowering, looking somewhat tacky. Or even reminding people of the feeling of being sick. Believe it or not psychology of color Higley affects house paint colors.

Pink
Although this can be feminine and soft, almost soothing. Pink can also be overpowering and of to muddy or dark it can feel dirty.

Brown
Browns, if used correctly, can be wonderful paint colors. However, a few different hues can look dark and dirty. Especially in rooms like bathrooms or the living room. These rooms can look dark and dirty, making the room look smaller. Colors like light gray, green, blue or even beige can be a great way to add color and still keep your home’s value up.

Boost Your Home Value
It’s not only important to avoid certain paint colors in order to feel good and at home. It’s also essential to attracting a new buyer. Buyers don’t like bold colors that they think will be difficult to paint over. Instead, get a new fresh coat of paint that is sure to impress with neutral colors and avoiding certain colors. At RB Painting Company we have a color consultation service and we will make sure your new paint job is the perfect color for you.

Roberto and his team (Marco, Hector and Johnny) did a great job on the exterior of our house. We especially appreciated their attention to detail and how careful they were painting the trim around the windows and doors. Also, Marco was able to repair and refinish our doorsill which now looks as good as new. Highly recommend!
