Many homeowners love to tackle as many home improvement projects as they can around the home. However, it is usually best to leave exterior painting to the professionals to ensure a quality end result, and the safety of you and anyone you may have helping.
Here are 3 reasons to hire a professional to tackle your exterior painting job
They Have The Right Equipment And Skills
Experienced and licensed painting contractors have learned the right methods. Experienced professionals have invested in the best tools, so they can tackle any job, as painting the exterior of a house, requires a lot more than just paintbrushes. You need to be equipped with safety gear, caulk and patching tools. Sometimes, for specific tasks you may even require painting applicators, long ladders, and spraying tools.
Efficient, Quality Work
Your time is valuable, and if you don’t have the practice, it can take a long time to paint the outside of a home. There are a lot of things to do before you even start painting. You need to prep the walls, fill up the holes, and tackle any surprises that may pop up. Professional painters can also dedicate full days to the work at hand, something few homeowners can put aside.

So the holiday season is fast approaching, and you have guests coming, and parties to plan for. Now is the time to get it your home ready!
First, make up a list of the tasks you want to complete. Give every member of the family a list of chores to be done. If you have some larger tasks that you will pay a professional to complete, like painting a room or cleaning a carpet, don’t wait till the last minute to schedule their services!
Focus on the main areas. It is already December, now is not the time to start on that major renovation that can’t possibly be done in time! Just take care of the areas your guests will actually see and use.
Prepare for house guests. If they are staying overnight, get their space ready ahead of time. Fresh sheets, clean towels, a few scented candles, goes a long way.
Set the Table. Get out those nice dishes and place settings, and make your dining room table look fabulous! Nothing looks nicer or more inviting than a holiday themed dining room.And remember to relax. the holidays can be a stressful time, but you should also enjoy them as well! Nothing feels more inviting than a host with a large smile on their face!
Those old cabinets in your kitchen, at one time they looked great, and were in style, but really need an update now… Usually people put off this project, because the cost of replacing your kitchen cabinets can be astronomical!
But there is another solution – repaint everything instead! With a fresh coat of paint, and some new hardware, those “old” cabinets, can look brand spanking new! And cost wise, this comes in far lower than replacing everything. And if you also repaint the kitchen itself, Voila! A dramatic change!
While you are at it, the interiors of the cabinets can be reconfigured as well:
new shelving systems
slides
spice racks
shelf liners
Lazy Susans
etc.
Sometimes, all it takes is a little imagination, and a fresh coat of paint, and that kitchen will look great again!
Fall is a great time to tackle those exterior house projects that need to be done! Whether it is new siding, fixing issues like water damage or old weather stripping, or just adding a fresh coat of paint, the weather is still nice, but winter is coming… so don’t delay!
One thing a lot of people don’t realize, is that we are experts at this type of thing as well! In fact Service Pro Painting and Improvements have built entire homes from the ground up, so those “smaller” projects are well within our expertise!

It’s that time of year again, summer is already winding down, and it is time to get the kids ready for school here in the Grand Rapids area. One project to tackle every year, is getting the kids rooms ready for the new grade or school they may be attending. As they get older, their tastes and needs change. For younger children, a fresh coat of paint in a bright color can create a fun environment for them to be in, and get into the “school habits”. For middle school students, changing the pastel pink or blue from their childhood bedroom walls to bolder colors is a common request. For high school and college students, the bedroom becomes a personal retreat where they can express themselves and feel more like adults.
But now is the time to get started. We can help guide you through some of the considerations:
Establishing a good space for study. The right configuration of the room is key here!
Inspire their creativity – the right colors make a difference!
And make it age appropriate! They don’t stay little forever!
Summer is the absolute best time to do exterior painting jobs! And over the years we have done quite a few here in the Grand Rapids area!
BUT you can’t wait too long to call us… we are booking up fast, but are always more than able to give you a free estimate! So call us today at (616) 295-3885
So it is finally spring here in Grand Rapids and all that snow melting away revealed what our harsh winter has done to our sidewalks, walkways, retaining walls and of course the exterior walls of our homes and businesses. We get it all here – It gets really hot, really cold, really wet and then really dry. Power washing your home is one of best ways to get rid of mold, mildew and stains on your home’s brick/wood patio or vinyl siding.
There are different opinions on power washing and whether or not it is bad, good or somewhere in between. Really, it is not whether it is good or bad, but more importantly, who is doing the job. Hiring a professional that understands different methods of pressure washing is a good thing. The use of non-toxic chemicals in conjunction with soft pressure washing can avoid damage.
Service Pro Painting and Improvements can power wash your roof, siding (wood and vinyl), decks, and driveway. Whether you’re thinking about re-staining your deck, painting your home, or refinishing your driveway, pressure washing will prepare the surface better than any other cleaning process or solution.
As winter hits the Grand Rapids area, one question that comes up over and over, every year, Is winter a good time to paint the interior?
When you have experienced painters on the job, painting the interior in winter can be the perfect time!
A few reasons why:
It gives you time and money to complete other projects in the summer. Summer can be a very busy time, with plenty of outdoor projects and activities to complete. Why not get some of the inside projects out of the way? This leaves you time to schedule other projects for the summer months!
Generally at this time of year, at least after the holiday season, there are less visitors and “foot traffic” in most homes. The kids are in school all day, and less visiting relatives getting in the way of the projects!
No humidity. Paint actually dries better in cooler weather, and when there is no humidity.
Painting Contractors (like us!) are less busy. When spring hits, our schedule can fill up very quickly with exterior projects!
Here are a few tips that you should take into consideration when considering a winter painting project.
Proper ventilation. One drawback to painting in the winter, is making sure the paint fumes are properly ventilated. A good contractor will have the right tools and knowledge to do this right.
Along these lines, it is also best to use either a “Low VOC paint” or “No VOC paint” (“VOC” stands for “Volatile Organic Compound”) VOCs are found in many building materials and are partially responsible for that new paint smell.
Maintaining the correct temperature. While lower temps and lower humidity are better for painting, you don’t want the temperature of a room to be too low when you paint… Make sure you can keep the room at 60 degrees or higher.
Great interior painting takes years of experience and attention to detail. When considering a winter paint project, turn to people who know how to work efficiently, quietly and cleanly. Service Pro Painting can tackle your project with as little disruption as possible to your daily routine.
