Let's Talk Paint!

By Adam Zobel 31 Oct, 2024
Vacuum carpets, clean the house, and put up decorations– that's the typical pre-holiday checklist. But what if there was something that could really go the extra mile in the prep department and knock your guests’ socks off? Oh wait, there is! Paint . If you’re wondering how and where to use interior paint this holiday season before guests arrive, you’ve come to the right place! High-Traffic Areas to Focus On Let's jump right in. When tackling a painting project before the busy holiday season, it’s good to think strategically about “where.” And high-traffic zones are a good starting point. Good candidates might include: The Living Room: This is often the center of holiday gatherings, and it’s where many guests will spend the majority of their time. A fresh coat of paint on the walls can instantly brighten the space and make it feel warm and welcoming. Hallways and Entryways: These areas set the tone for the rest of your home, offering the first impression when guests arrive. Hallways and entryways endure a lot of foot traffic too, leading to scuffs and general wear. Repainting these spaces will make your home look polished and inviting from the moment guests step through the door. Not to mention the extra protection a coat of paint provides for your walls! Guest Rooms and Bathrooms Don’t forget about the rooms your guests will use most—especially the guest bedroom and bathrooms. These spaces might not get as much attention throughout the year, but they play a huge role in making your guests feel welcome during the holidays. The Kitchen – A Hub for Holiday Fun

We all know a beautiful church building when we see one, but have you ever wondered what keeps it that way? While there are a lot of factors to consider, painting certainly plays a vital role in protecting and maintaining these important structures. How about a closer look? We’ll share a bit more information below about our approach, plus some photos of a church we just finished painting in Worth, IL. What Makes Church Painting Unique? Technically churches can meet in any building, but traditional structures like this one usually come with some distinct characteristics. Here are a few: High Ceilings: This church, like many, features a soaring ceiling which is not only beautiful but also requires special equipment to reach. No problem for Jondec! The height also demands precision and special techniques to ensure even coverage and aesthetic appeal from every angle. Also no problem for Jondec Painting! Multiple Surface Types: Another characteristic we experienced was working with multiple types of surfaces. Churches are architectural works of art with a variety of materials including brick, wood, plaster, and drywall. Each surface type demands a different approach in terms of preparation, products used, and application method.
