Loft Painting On A Budget in Horsham, PA

In painting your home, there are certain key interior areas that you might not think of in terms of painting and the loft may be one of them.

If you want a well painted loft, you may be thinking that you are going to have to spend a lot of money on painting your loft, but this doesn’t have to be the case.

With the right advice and some work on your part, you’re going to be able to get your loft painted properly for a reasonable price.

Let’s have a look at some tips for painting your loft on a budget.

1. Measure Before You Paint

One important thing that you’re going to want to do is to make sure that you’re going to be measuring the surface of the walls in the loft that you’re going to paint.

The reason that this is going to help you save money in your painting project is that when you are able to properly measure the walls to be painted, you will be able to determine how much primer and paint will be needed and as such you will not buy too much and certainly not too little.

Purchasing too much is understandably a waste as most often, you will only need a little extra paint in order to do some touch-up work as need be.

However, purchasing too little primer and paint is also a waste as you will then have to go out and get more of it, and in your rush to need to get more paint it’s entirely possible you will just go to the first place that has it for sale, possibly including at a steep price.

2. Borrow Equipment If Possible

Though of course there are many circumstances in which it makes sense to purchase quality painting equipment (such as if you have a number of painting projects in mind) in truth you will not necessarily need to purchase equipment if the loft is all you are thinking to paint for a while.

One route that you may have at hand to get good painting equipment without purchasing it is to borrow the equipment — it would be the most simple if you have a friend or two that happens to have the equipment because they more regularly paint in their home.

If you have no friends or family from whom you can borrow equipment, you can always try looking for a tool library, which is a lot like a book library except you borrow tools instead of books.

Even if you have to rent good equipment somewhere, it’s certainly going to cost you less overall and get you better work done than if you try to buy equipment (and don’t think about going for the cheap stuff!

3. Use Primer

One of the less obvious things that you can do in order to save money on your loft painting project is to make use of a coat of primer prior to applying the first coat of paint.

Though you might think that this would make your painting project cost more, you are only correct from one perspective – upfront, your painting project is going to cost you more money because you will indeed have to spend money on the primer.

However, it’s notable that when you make use of primer you will have an easier time applying paint to the surface, and you will find that ultimately the paint that you apply will adhere to that surface for a longer period of time than if you don’t and having the paint properly stay on longer gives you a better value over the time that it takes until you next have to paint the walls.
