Winter Weather Means in Interior Painting Season

Wow we’ve had some weird weather this year.  Summer was unseasonably cool and rainy.  Then we had a week of spring-like weather.  Thanksgiving was in the 20s.  The first week of December was in the 60s and now it’s cold and rainy.

There is no telling what Christmas is going to be like.  The one thing that we know is that this winter is unpredictable.  Unpredictable winters usually mean snow or ice storms.  In Atlanta, winter storms shut down the city because we don’t have  a lot of those machines they have up north to clear roads.

Personally, I like being snowed in (as long as there is power).  It makes you step away from work and spend time with family and friends.  There isn’t the pressure or temptation to go out because everything is closed and you can’t drive.  It nice to work out then watch movies, eat snacks and take naps.  And I nearly forgot to mention the best thing about winter storms; SNOWBALL FIGHTS!

If you’re wondering how this article relates to interior painting, you’re not alone.  I just realized that I forgot where I was going with that intro because I was thinking about how much fun snow ins are.

Back to the paint.

Because they predict that we are going to have wild winter weather, we will probably all spend a lot of time inside of our homes.  Since the weather outside is going to be cold, dark and possibly dreary, you should do everything possible to make your interior feel warm, cozy and inviting.

Interior house painting is the easiest way to achieve this goal.  New colors or even flatter finishes can make your home’s interior feel entirely different.

Because GreenWave Solutions is one of Atlanta’s finest interior painting company, you should call us to get an estimate for interior painting.

We are giving 15% interior painting projects until March 15, 2014.  Call us today to get a free estimate.

Remember, GreenWave Solutions also does cabinet finishing, exterior painting, color consultations, drywall installation and more!

New GreenWave Solutions Residential Painting Services

Residential house painting is GreenWave Solutions’ specialty.

Residential painting requires the most skilled and professional painters available for a myriad of reasons.  Here are some of them:

  • You must have professional and trustworthy painters because you are inside people’s homes and around their families.
  • The painters must be clean and careful because they work around furniture, decoration and other valuable property.
  • Painters must be skilled at using high-end coatings, professional finishing and painting straight lines.
  • Painters must be polite and respectful as they typically work in close proximity to women and children.

The above stated characteristics of residential painting contractors are equally important because ignoring any one can cause huge problems.

GreenWave Solutions carefully interviews and screens all of our painters because we understand the importance of employing high-caliber people to represent us.  We know that our fantastic reputation is what separates us from the competition and strive to provide our clients with the best service possible.

We train our painters about how to use high-end specialty coatings, as well as the importance of demonstrating professionalism to all of our clients.

Fall House Painting Specials

Is that football I hear?

Yes it is!  And football means that Fall is here.

We didn’t have a typical Atlanta summer this year.  It was one of the coolest and rainiest summers in recorded history.  It was good for interior painting, however, many Atlanta residents postponed their exterior painting projects due to the constant rain.  I’m not a weatherman, but I’m right about the weather about the same percent of the time and I hope that we have an unseasonably dry and warm Fall.

Typically, Fall is good season for exterior painting.  The lower temperature and relative humidity allow the paint to dry at near perfect conditions (manufacturers rate most coatings at around 70 degrees at 60% humidity).  Also, there is no pollen or surprise thunder showers like in Spring and Summer.

GreenWave Solutions is offering 15% off exterior house painting in Atlanta to help our neighbors that didn’t get to take advantage of our Summer specials.

Our 15% off Fall house painting special includes:

  • Exterior Painting

  • Interior Painting

  • Deck Staining and Sealing

  • House Painting

  • Cabinet Finishing

  • Wallpaper Removal

  • Popcorn Ceiling Texture Removal

  • Stipple Texture Ceiling Smoothing

These are only some of the many services that our skilled painters, carpenters and craftsmen do to make your home a more beautiful place.

Call us today to learn more about GreenWave Solutions’ services and specials.  Our professional interior and exterior painters serve Atlanta, Alpharetta, Roswell, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Midtown, Grant Park, Inman Park, Decatur, Chamblee and other affluent Metro Atlanta suburbs.

GreenWave Solutions is Sandy Springs GA Top Painting Company

Sandy Springs was one of north Atlanta’s first affluent communities to get annexed as a new city.  Sandy Springs’ residents fought long and hard to gain independence from the City of Atlanta.  City of Atlanta didn’t want to lose the valuable tax dollars from this affluent suburb, but Sandy Springs wanted the ability to control zoning laws and codes to make the area as nice as it should be.

Once Sandy Springs was incorporated, it got nicer almost immediately.  The new city cleaned up many of the city of Atlanta’s zoning missteps.  You can see remnants of this on Roswell road in the form of “massage” spas and dirty apartments.  But fortunately, most of this has been abated and Sandy Springs property values have boomed.

Homes in Sandy Springs, like much of Atlanta, are very diverse.  Some houses were built in the 1960’s and others were built during the last few years.  Either way, many of these house need painting and home improvement and that’s where GreenWave Solutions comes in.

Based in Brookhaven, GreenWave Solutions has been serving Sandy Springs for nearly 10 years.  Our Sandy Springs painters have experience working on all of the different kinds of home in the area.  Now that we are lead certified painters in Atlanta, we can perform painting and renovations on all of the homes in Sandy Springs, GA.

Because Sandy Springs has been so good to us, we want to give something back.  We are offering 20% discounts on all residential painting services to Sandy Springs home owners for the month July.  This includes:

House Painting Contractors in Alpharetta GA

Summer is not officially here according to the equinox, but we’ve past Memorial Day and that means summer in Georgia.  This summer, GreenWave Solutions is going to offer exclusive Alpharetta house painting specials!

Alpharetta, one of Atlanta’s most affluent suburbs, has wide open spaces blanketed with subdivisions full of beautiful homes.  Many of these houses are between 10-20 years old and need the attention of GreenWave Solutions Alpharetta painters.

Exterior house painting is a simple and inexpensive way to preserve and maintain the beauty of your home.  It starts with a thorough pressure washing to remove dirt, debris and other surface contaminants.  After pressure washing, we will perform any carpentry and replace rotten wood or siding.  Then we prepare everything for painting.  This includes caulking gaps and joints, scraping peeling painting, priming bare areas, filling holes and patching imperfections.

Once the house is ready, it time to paint it.  GreenWave Solutions applies exterior coating using professional paint sprayers, just as the manufacturers recommend.  Spraying applies a thicker, smoother coating which translates to a longer lasting job for our clients.  Don’t be fooled by the “we do all work by hand” line.  It may sound good, but machines do better than humans when operated by a skilled professional.

Why do we use bulldozers to move dirt instead of using 300 guys with shovels?

At this point, we are almost done beautifying your home.  We perform quality inspection walk through with our client and project manager.  At this point, we fix any touch ups and tie up all loose ends.

Finally, we clean up and leave our job site how it was when we got there; except of course for the magnificent, freshly painted house.

This isn’t the only way to perform exterior painting in Alpharetta, but it is the way that GreenWave Solutions has a nearly perfect customer satisfaction record.

Call us today for your free residential painting estimate – 404-549-7776

Our 15% off discount applies to all residential projects costing $1500.00 or more and includes:

Sherwin Williams Eminence Review

As a high end painting company in Atlanta, we like to use the best quality paints and coatings on our projects.  Part of using the best products is always trying and testing new products.  Sherwin Williams helps this process by giving us demo products to use and provide professional feedback.

Today, we are reviewing Sherwin Williams’ Eminence.  Eminence is a high performance, interior ceiling paint.

We used to use ProMar 200 flat on ceilings until recently, when the 0-VOC reformulation rendered a flat with high angular sheen.  Having any sheen associated with your ceiling is asking for trouble due to the typically mediocre drywall work on ceiling.

Choosing the “right” ceiling paint can be challenging.  You don’t need any durability because ceilings get no traffic.  Your first instinct is “get the cheapest flat paint they have.”  This can cause problems because the cheap paints look cheap and have an ugly finish.

So what do you do?

Use Eminence.

The Upside:

Eminence is an acrylic latex paint which gives it low-VOC and water clean up properties.  It comes in a clean, bright white.  Eminence is a thick, sticky paint that prevents it from misting paint all over the painter and floor.

Upon drying, Eminence reveals an exceptionally smooth and flat finish.  This finish does a fantastic job hiding tapes lines and other substrate imperfections common with ceilings.

The Downside:

Eminence’s only drawback is it’s perceived cost.  We painters are used to getting our ceiling paint cheap; like $10/gallon. When you pay nearly $30/gallon for ceiling paint, it is tough to swallow.  However, the finished product speaks for itself so I guess we must revert to the old adage, “you get what you pay for.”

The Verdict for Eminence high performance ceiling paint is…Awesome!

I love this product, my painters love this product, and most importantly, my clients love this product.  Eminence’s ease of application and outstanding performance makes it worth the extra money it costs.  Hopefully, Sherwin Williams will give us some special pricing after reading how much GreenWave Solutions loves their Eminence coating.

Right, Johnny? 😉

How to Remove Stubborn Stipple Texture

As the best painter Sandy Springs has to offer, GreenWave Solutions gets involved in all kinds of cool and challenging projects.  One service that we have had many recent requests for is ceiling smoothing.  This includes both popcorn texture and stipple texture.

As a construction professional, I loathe both of these finishing systems because I know builders use them.  Textured drywall finishes are used to hide shoddy drywall finishes.  Drywall has 6 different levels of finish and here is a brief description of each:

  • Level 0:  Boards simply hung with no tape or mud.
  • Level 1:  Drywall and hung and taped, but the tape isn’t covered with joint compound.  Boards may have unfinished tool damage.
  • Level 2:  Boards hung, tape embedded in joint compound and screw holes are mudded.
  • Level 3:  Boards hung, tape and fastener heads embedded in joint compound, excess joint compound wiped clean.
  • Level 4:  Same as level 3, with two coats of drywall compound on fastener heads, tapes and other imperfections.  Then sand joint compound.
  • Level 5:  Same as level 4 plus a skim coat of joint compound on all drywall and full sanding.

Here is a great detailed explanation of drywall finishing

 

For ceilings and walls with a textured finish, such stipple, popcorn, knockdown or orange peel, you stop at level 3.  You can stop at level 3 because the texture is applied to cover the incomplete drywall finishing.

Typically, popcorn and stipple texture come off from ceilings quite easily.  However, when you run into a stubborn batch of texture, it is going to be a long project.  We ran into this on a project just a few weeks ago.

GreenWave Solutions was contracted to do stipple texture removal on a Alpharetta interior painting project.  After we finished covering walls and floors, the crew began removing the stipple texture.  They did the normal process of applying warm water onto the texture and scraping it off.

It wasn’t coming off without taking the drywall with it.

When I came to the house to check everything out, the first thing that noticed was that the ceilings were badly mangled with paper torn from the gypsum boards.  I told my operations manager, “Dude, Luis and the guys are going to have a long with this.”

After finding the guys through the maze of plastic sheeting, I was greeted with “This stuff doesn’t want to come off, man.”

My project manager, Luis, is as good of a PM there is and an excellent problem solver.  Had already Googled “how to take down ceiling texture” because this was worse than anything we had encountered in our 8 years working together.  He learned that by adding fabric softener to the water, it helps soften the texture compound.

It helped, but not enough.  After 2 days of fighting with this texture, Luis had enough and brought in the heavy artillery.  He went to Sunbelt and rented a commercial drywall sander with a vacuum attachment.  These Porter Cable drywall sanders is what I used to sell to huge drywall outfits to finish hotels and casinos in my days at Sherwin Williams.  My clients used these machines during the construction of places like Atlantis in Bahamas, The Wynn in Vegas, The W and Terminus in Atlanta.

We were using this on a 2500 square foot house.

A month ago, I would have told you using a commercial drywall sander for stipple texture removal was overkill.  Now, I have a new trick up my sleeve.  For less than $100/day, I can outfit my guys with a machine that does 4 hours of work in 20 minutes.

Once we got the ceilings smooth, we painted them and had another happy client.

Although this story has a happy ending, it isn’t all rosy sunshine.  There is no easy short cut to removing textures from walls and ceilings.  It is hard and labor intensive.  You have to have a strong neck to look up at a ceiling and work from a ladder above you head for 5+ days.

If popcorn ceiling texture removal and stipple texture ceiling smoothing doesn’t sound like something fun that you want to do during your free time, call the pros at GreenWave Solutions to do it.

I promise it will be worth money.

Atlanta House Painting Services Inside The Perimeter

GreenWave Solutions, Atlanta’s first green painting company, has been covering the Atlanta area for 8 years.  Atlanta is made up of several neighborhoods whether you are considered Inside The Perimeter (ITP) or Outside The Perimeter (OTP).  To name just a few of the neighborhoods we cover Inside The Perimeter are Buckhead, Inman Park, Grant Park, Ansley Park, Morningside, Vinings and Virginia Highlands.  Our painting services include interior, exterior, residential house painting, deck staining, wood repair and replacement, wallpaper removal, popcorn ceiling texture removal, window replacement and more.

A large portion of homes Inside The Perimeter of Atlanta are older houses and need a little more attention and love than new construction.  Preserving older homes is different from working on houses that have been recently built.  Oftentimes, older homes are better constructed than newer ones, but that does not mean the work and maintenance is easy.  When it comes to paints and coatings, the products that were used are no longer being manufactured or may even be against the law to use.  Also, they can be harmful to our health and the environment.  Some examples are lead paint and asbestos insulation.

Even when older homes don’t have toxic chemicals or carcinogens in their building materials, an experienced professional is required to do work correctly.  Trained painting professionals know how to bridge the gap between the technology of the 1970′s and the 21st century.

30 years ago, using oil based paint on home’s exteriors was a standard practice, but in 2013 that is considered a big no-no.  Over the past decades scientists have learned that alkyd resins chalk, crack, and fade in UV light very fast.  Thanks to technological advances we now have  acrylic resins, which help protect the home longer and are much safer for the environment.

GreenWave Solutions’ painters are able to restore and preserve the beauty of Atlanta’s homes.

Professional Painters do exterior and interior house painting in Dunwoody Ga

Interior Exterior House Painters in Dunwoody GA

GreenWave Solutions announces that we are offering our professional painting services in Dunwoody and the surrounding neighborhoods.  This includes interior painting, exterior painting, carpentry, deck staining and sealing, cabinet staining, and more.

Dunwoody is one of Atlanta’s first suburbs.  It’s age makes the homes in this affluent neighborhood distinct and beautiful. It’s age also requires these homes to be maintained to preserve their beauty.

Preserving older homes is different from working on newer ones.  Oftentimes, older homes are better constructed than newer ones, but this doesn’t mean that they are easier to work on.  When dealing with older homes, you rarely know materials were used.  When it comes to paints and coatings, the products that were used are no longer being manufactured or may even be illegal now.  Some examples are lead paint and asbestos insulation.

Even when older homes don’t have toxic chemicals or carcinogens in their building materials, an experienced professional is required to do work correctly.  Trained painting professionals know how to bridge the gap between the technology of the 1970’s and the 21st century.

30 years ago, using oil based paint on home’s exteriors was a standard practice.  Now, that is a big no-no.  Science has learned that alkyd resins chalk, crack, and fade in UV light much faster than new acrylic resins do.  The problem was that the advanced acrylic resins were not invented 30 years ago.  So as science advances, technology advances.

How to Choose a Roller

I was helping my cousin do some interior painting this weekend and realized how little the average person knows about proper painting techniques.  Oftentimes I struggle to think of topics about which to write because I can’t think of anything that people don’t know.  I guess I have been over thinking it.  I’m going back to the basics for my readers.

How to choose a roller

When choosing a roller, there are three factors that you must define:  nap composition, roller quality, and nap length.

Nap Composition

Nap refers to the fur on the roller.  Composition refers to what the nap is made of.  When choosing what type of roller to use, you need to know what kind of coating you are using.  Alkyds, acrylics, polyurethanes, and lacquers all require a different roller nap.  You use specific rollers for some coatings because the stronger chemicals can cause the nap to melt.  Also, using a roller designed for the coating causes the paint to load and release better, which yields a better finished product.

Manufacturers label the packaging to specify for which coatings are compatible with the roller.  A sure fire way to choose the correct roller composition is to choose your paint first and then choose a roller that works with it.

Roller Quality

Not all rollers are created equal.  Like with most things, the adage “you get what you pay for” applies to rollers.  The difference between cheap and expensive rollers boils down to two characteristics.  Cheap rollers tend to lose more hair while painting.  These hairs end up on whatever you are painting and dry in film.  This is ugly and unprofessional.  In addition to this, the nap on cheap rollers typically doesn’t offer good release which renders a less smooth finish.  The only time I recommend using the cheapest roller available is when you are painting something where quality is not a factor – like a dog house.

Professional painters Trick of the Trade:  Before using any roller, put the roller on the frame and wrap it with painter tape.  Remove the tape before you start painting.  This pulls out the loose hairs and prevents them from ending up on your substrate.

Nap Length

Nap length is the last factor you must determine when choosing a roller.  Nap length is measured in inches and range from foam, mohair, 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″ and more more.  What determines the length of the roller nap is how rough of a substrate you are painting.  If you are painting something super smooth like glass, then you should use a foam roller.  If you are painting something very rough like stucco, use the longer 1″ nap.  By using the right size nap, you ensure that you apply an adequate film of paint and get the smoothest possible finish.

I hope that this answers any questions about how to choose a roller.

Alpharetta House Painting Specials

As summer makes way for fall, the days get shorter and the weather gets colder and wetter. This doesn’t mean that painting season is over. It means that painting conditions change.

Many of the new coatings have been developed specifically for cold and damp weather application. When manufacturers design new products, they create products that can withstand the harsh winters of the northeast and midwest. Compared to those climates, Metro Atlanta seems like a tropical paradise. This is only good news for Alpharetta house painters.

Because these revolutionary coatings are designed for such harsh climates, GreenWave Solutions’ house painting crews are able to work throughout the entire year and still do the professional jobs that our clients expect.

So whether you are getting your house ready for holiday visitors or have just been putting off the paint job, now is the time to get this off of your “To Do” list.

We understand that the holidays can be expensive, so we are offering a 15% off special on all Alpharetta painting services.  Call today to schedule your free estimate!
