While buying or selling may be the perfect time to repaint your home with AONE PAINTING LAS VEGAS

If you are putting your home on the market, or you have just purchased a property and are looking to refresh or renovate it before you move in, AONE PAINTING LAS VEGAS can help.

Wood Staining Services in Green Valley Nevada

Re-vamp your deck today

Is your deck in need for a good maintenance and has lost its luster? If a deck is not maintained well then it can become a health and safety hazard pretty quickly. Selling your home or inviting people to your home can also become unbearable if your deck is not up to scratch. Restore your deck to its original beauty by removing dirt, most, grime and old dead wood fibers. We have a comprehensive wood staining process which will help your decks and outdoor surfaces reach their true potential.

Our Wood Staining Process for Decks

Pre-clean: We remove moss, debris, algae and lichen from the wood before the deep clean. We also nail down all the nails if they are protruding upwards from the surface.

Deep Clean: Then comes water-blasting which removes all dead wooden fibers and makes sure that the surface is completely clean before the staining.

Staining: Once the deck is dried, we use an oil based stain over your surface. Oil based stain is better than water based as the end finish is much better. Staining is better than just painting as it is more suited to New Zealand’s climate. It is better to stain the wood only once as a second coat does not actually stain the wood but just forms a layer on top. This layer in time will crack and peel away.

Painting: If you do not like the look or feel of wood fibers then we would suggest that you paint over the stain. Paint acts as a layer on top of the stain and provides the ultimate protection against the environment.

Painting Services in Green Valley Nevada Costs

Painting your home, both inside and out, improves its curb appeal, character and resale value. It’s one of the quickest and easiest ways to give your home a face-lift. In addition to colors, there are finishes, stains, maintenance and other options to consider.

How Much Does Paint Cost Per Gallon?

A gallon of paint costs an average of $25 to $50 and covers about 350 square feet with one coat. Designer varieties can run over $100 per gallon. Your painter pays up to 50% less than what it runs in a home improvement store. You’ll also need to spend another $20 to $100 on supplies like brushes, rollers, masking paper and plastic. A professional will have these items on-hand.

Gallon of Paint Prices

*You won’t find your average wall and ceiling paint in these sizes. The higher prices reflect specialty types for detail and accent work.

• Check prices at your local home improvement store. Once you have an idea what you’re working with, compare the costs in person.
• Your contractor can quote you prices. They have years of experience and can break out this cost on project estimates.
• Get the highest quality paint your budget will allow. It looks better, lasts longer and is more durable than cheaper brands.
• The shinier the paint, the higher the price, from flat to semi-gloss to gloss.

How Much Is a Can of Paint?

A one-gallon can is about $30 to $40. Prices range from $25 to $50 with designer brands exceeding $100. You’ll usually save a little on per-gallon pricing when you buy in 5-gallon or larger bulk sizes.

Interior Paint vs. Exterior Paint Per Gallon

Some brands charge up to 25% more for exterior varieties. These price differences can add up to $50 per 5-gallon bucket.

Custom Paint Prices

Custom paints run $100 or more per gallon. Many accent types, like metallics and textured, come in smaller cans, like a pint or quart. You’ll pay anywhere from $10 to $80 for these smaller containers.

Professional Painter Prices

Most professional painters charge $2 to $6 per square foot of paintable area. Less commonly, they’ll charge anywhere from $20 to $50 an hour. In some areas with high costs of living, you might even pay upwards of $100 an hour. Most of this is for labor. Ask your pro to break out prices in an estimate into materials, labor and paint.

Professional’s total cost:

Paint and other supplies: 15%.

Labor: 85%.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 45% are self-employed. More information regarding rates and associated factors is included below.

Painter Cost Per Hour for Labor

Hiring a painter cost $20 to $50 per hour. In some locations, you might pay as much as $75 per hour or more. More commonly, they’ll charge per square foot at $2 to $6.

How Much Do Painters Charge Per Day?

You can expect to pay a pro $200 to $500 per day. Most don’t usually charge a per-day, or per diem, rate. More often, you’ll find they either charge a per square foot, hourly or project price.

Price Per Square Foot for Painting a New Construction

You’ll pay anywhere from $2 to $4 per square foot for new construction. However, your general contractor takes care of all subcontracting needs. Unless you’re acting as your own general contractor, you won’t need to worry, it’ll all be included in the total home price.

Residential Painters Cost Per Project

Painting residential projects costs anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot or $150 to $4,500 for the project. Pricing varies between jobs. Consider the amount of time each takes.

Common home project pricing includes:

• Painting a home interior room and walls costs $1,000-$2,900 total or $2-$3 per square foot. Obstacles like stairwells and kitchen cabinets might increase prep time and thus cost.
• Painting home exterior siding costs $1,800-$4,200. Up to 25% more than an interior.
• Small home project painting costs $400-$1,200. Might include one accent wall, a door, cabinets or paneling.
• Painting a mural or trompe l’oeil costs $800-$1,900+. Consider the artist’s cost and fee structure, and the size of the space.
• Ceiling painting prices: $150-$350. Cheaper if included with a whole home project.
• Paint handrail or porch railing costs: $1-$5 per linear foot. Highly detailed rails might run twice as much.
• Cost to stain or paint fences: $750-$4,250.
• Deck staining costs $550-$1,050.
• Deck waterproofing or sealing costs $550-$1,300.
• Trim painting costs $500-$1,500 or $1-$3 per linear foot. Be sure to check the precision of the painter’s work while vetting them for employment as it can be costly to remove overpainting on trim, wood or carpet flooring, and light figures or wall plates.

Painting an Apartment or Home as a Renter

If the responsibility is yours, you’ll pay $1,000 to $3,000 on average to repaint an apartment. Some buildings and landlords have pre-selected painters, while others will contract companies on an as-needed basis. If your landlord or building doesn’t have a regular pro, see if you can DIY it to save up to 85% on labor. In some cases, if you approach a landlord prior to painting, they will agree to cover some of the expenses, such as the cost of paint and brushes.

If you’re moving in and selecting a non-neutral color, understand that your landlord may require you to redo the walls the original color when you move out. Be ready to make that investment down the road.

There are cases where apartment complexes allow you to choose from a color wheel of neutral hues before you move in. Some charge a fee for calling in a handyman or other pro to do the walls, while most offer it as a benefit of signing a lease.

Commercial Painting Costs Per Square Foot

Commercial painting costs $2 to $6 per square foot. Exterior jobs on multi-level buildings might run you twice that much due to setup time and accessibility. Commercial and residential projects are priced similarly.

Hiring Cheap House Painters

You may want to save a few dollars by hiring the lowest bid that comes in. Remember that cheap work usually gives cheap results. Take the time to talk to each pro to find out what they charge per square foot or hour, and what materials they’ll need and use (such as caulking before painting) and how many separate coats of paint they will apply.

Pros:

• Saves money. You’ll save a few bucks going with the cheapest bid. But the cons usually outweigh the savings.

Cons:

• Cheapest paint. They’ll use the cheapest supplies they can get. You’ll typically need to redo the job in as little as half the time of a quality paint.
• Rushed work. Brush strokes, peeling paint, bubbling up, and missed areas are all signs of rushed work and bad prep.

Hiring an expensive professional doesn’t always mean you’ll get the best materials either. Make sure you always check your pro’s credentials and past work. You’ll also want to ask:

• What brand and type of paint are you using?
• How many coats are you applying?
• Will you guarantee your work?
• Will you fix any holes or damage?
• Can you separate materials and labor on the bid?

For small jobs, you might hire a handyman for $20 to $25 per hour. Always hire a pro who does nothing but paint for any delicate or detailed work that you want done correctly.

Student Painters Costs

Student painter rate vary depending on your location but are usually cheaper than any pro. Despite the savings, it’s usually not a great idea. Painting is a skill learned over time. Homeowners, who have hired student painters, reported both pros and cons, which include:

• Low bids. Often far below professional level work.
• Lack of experience. They may not prep the surface properly and you could see roller and brush marks.
• Quick turnaround. They usually slap a fresh coat on and move onto the next job.

Expect student painter quality to vary by location and crew. If you do go with students, make sure they’re from an accredited school and overseen by a foreman with a good reputation and experience. Always check references, reviews and licenses before hiring any contractor.

Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is key to a quality job. Without sanding, washing and scraping, your fresh coat will start peeling quickly. You’ll also need to have any damage or underlying concerns, like leaking gutters, fixed.

Here are some recommendations for surface preparation by wall type:

Aluminum: Remove any dirt, stains and other grime with solvent cleaner.

Concrete or cinder block: Remove loose mortar and clean off dust, dirt and loose cement.

Brick: Clean off dirt, excess mortar and any foreign grime.

Concrete: Remove grease, loose cement and oil; then, either power wash or clean by hand.

Copper: Clean off grease, dirt and other grime with a hand cloth and solvent cleaner.

Drywall: Remove exposed nail/screw heads, repair (with joint compound/spackle) the areas and remove any dust.

Fiber Cement Board (Hardie Board brand): Use a solvent cleaner and remove any waxy material.

Plaster: Patch any damaged areas; clean with vinegar and water.

Steel: Remove rust, oil, grease and salt with solvent cleaner.

Stucco: Clean off any loose stucco and allow to dry for 30 days.

Wood: Make sure it’s dry, check for any rotted areas, patch any holes and caulk as needed.

Vinyl: Scrub with soap water solution and rinse.

Tips for Hiring a Painter

When you decide to hire a painter, know that their rates go down in the winter as business slows. Ask about discounts, in case they can fit you in as an in-between project. Also consider whether you have other projects to be completed, as you may get them done in bulk for less than you would piecemeal.

Keep these things in mind to be sure that you’re getting the best pro for the job:

Ask for recommendations: Consult with friends, family and neighbors to see if they’ve hired a good pro for a similar project. Also consult our painting contractor directory to find quality contractors with good ratings and reviews.

Get multiple estimates: Narrow your list of potential contractors down to four and then get four bids to make sure they’re within the same price range. If one seems too high or too low, ask additional questions to understand why.

Interview questions:

• How long have you been a painting contractor?
• Do you have general liability insurance or professional liability insurance? Ask your painting contractor to send you an “insurance declaration”, a one-page summary of their coverage. If they have it, they will be happy to send to you.
• Are you licensed and insured?
• Do you perform the job yourself or hire out freelancers?
• Can you provide contact information for previous clients as references?
• Do you have guarantees of your work?

Review credentials: Make sure potential pros are licensed and insured so you aren’t left with repairs or financial hassles after they complete the job.

Figure out a payment plan: In most cases, you shouldn’t need to pay anything up front. Never pay more than one-third of the total cost upfront. Never pay in cash.

Get the contract and review it thoroughly before signing.

Pick the paint and finish: The contractor should work with you to find the right color, but the decision is ultimately yours. Make sure it’s a color you’ll enjoy for years to come.

Check for lead: Testing lead paint costs $225-$425. If your home was constructed pre-1978, the older layers might contain lead. If this is the case, you’ll need to have a lead testing and removal contractor come out to handle the problem.

Indoor Painting Tips & Techniques

Use these tips for how to paint interior walls to make your painting projects go faster and smoother.

Lap marks are those ugly stripes caused by uneven layers of paint buildup. They occur when you roll over paint that’s already partly dry. (In warm, dry conditions, latex paint can begin to stiffen in less than a minute!) With these tips learn how to paint interior walls.

The key to avoiding lap marks when learning how to paint interior walls is to maintain a “wet edge,” so each stroke of your roller overlaps the previous stroke before the paint can begin to dry. Here are some painting tips:

To maintain a wet edge, start near a corner and run the roller up and down the full height of the wall, moving over slightly with each stroke.

Move backward where necessary to even out thick spots or runs.

Don’t let the roller become nearly dry; reload it often so that it’s always at least half loaded.

Keep the open side of the roller frame facing the area that’s already painted. That puts less pressure on the open side of the roller, so you’re less likely to leave paint ridges in your stylish wall painting ideas.

Mix Several Cans of Paint in a Large Bucket for a Consistent Color Throughout the Room

Paint color may vary slightly from one can to the next. If you have to open a new can in the middle of a wall, the difference may be noticeable. Mixing the paints together eliminates the problem. It’s best to estimate the amount of paint you’ll need and mix it in a 5-gallon bucket (a process called “boxing”).

Here are some good painting tips:

• When coverage is difficult to estimate, add more rather than less when learning how to paint interior walls. You can always pour the leftover back into cans.
• For large jobs, use the bucket and a roller screen rather than a roller tray. It’s much faster to load your roller with the screen than to use a roller pan.
• Simply dunk the roller into the paint bucket, then roll it along with the screen until it stops dripping.

Let the Paint Dry, Then Cut the Tape Loose for a Perfect Edge

Once the paint is dry, you can’t just pull the tape off the trim. Paint forms a film between the wall and the tape and removing the tape tears pieces of dried paint off the wall. So before pulling off the tape, cut it loose.

Wait for the paint to completely dry, at least 24 hours, then use a sharp utility knife or box cutter knife to slice through the film. Start in an inconspicuous area to make sure the paint is hard enough to slice cleanly.

If you cut the paint while it’s still gummy, you’ll make a mess. As you cut the paint, pull up the tape at a 45-degree angle.

Painting Techniques: Paint the Trim First, Then the Ceiling and Walls

Pros usually follow a certain order when learning how to paint interior walls. They paint the trim first, then the ceiling, then the walls. That’s because it’s easier (and faster) to tape off the trim than to tape off the walls. And you certainly don’t want to tape them both off.

When painting the trim, you don’t have to be neat. Just concentrate on getting a smooth finish on the wood. Don’t worry if the trim paint gets onto the walls. You’ll cover it later when painting the walls.

Once the trim is completely painted and dry (at least 24 hours), tape it off (using an “easy release” painter’s tape), then paint the ceiling, then the walls.

Prime and Texture Wall Patches To Avoid a Blotchy Finish

Freshly painted walls often look blotchy. The color is uniform, but the sheen isn’t consistent. This usually occurs over the holes and cracks you patched with a filler or drywall compound. The porous fillers absorb the paint, dulling the surface (a problem called “flashing”).

When light hits these dull spots, they stick out like a sore thumb. The smooth patch also stands out in contrast to the slightly bumpy texture of the rest of the wall. A quick coat of primer is all it takes to eliminate flashing and texture differences.

Primer seals the patch so paint won’t sink in and look dull. To match texture, prime with a roller, feathering out the edges. Choose a nap thickness to match the surrounding wall texture (a 3/8-in. nap roller for smooth walls; 1/2-in. for textured).

Clean Dirty Surfaces So the Paint Can Form a Strong Bond

If you paint over dirty, oily surfaces, the paint will easily chip or peel off. So to prepare before painting, clean grimy areas with a DE glosser or heavy-duty cleaner intended for prepaint cleaning.

They work well to clean painted, varnished or enameled surfaces to improve the adhesion of the new paint. They’re ideal for cleaning greasy or oily areas like kitchen and bathroom walls and removing hand marks around light switches and doorknobs.

Wipe on the cleaner in a circular motion using a lint-free cloth or abrasive pad. Start at the bottom and work up. After the surface is clean, fill in any nicks and holes, then sand them smooth before painting. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and eye protection.

Roll Paint Along the Edges for Consistent Texture

Corners and areas next to trim that are painted only with a brush have a noticeably different texture than the surrounding paint. To ensure the finished texture will be consistent in these areas, brush on the paint, then immediately roll it out before the paint dries.

Use a 3-in. roller with a nap that’s the same thickness as the roller used for the rest of the wall. Roll as close as you can without bumping the opposite wall or slopping paint onto the trim. Finish brushing on the paint and rolling it out in one area before moving on to the next section.

Use Cotton Drop Cloths Rather Than Plastic

Spills and spatters happen, regardless of how careful you are. It’s a lot easier to prepare for them than to wipe them out of your carpeting or off your wood floor later. All it takes is canvas drop cloths in your work area.

The thick canvas stays in place, so you don’t need to tape it, and you can use it to cover any surface. Plastic drop cloths are slippery to walk on or set a ladder on and don’t stay in place. Even worse, paint spills on plastic stay wet, and they can end up on your shoes and get tracked through the house.  Canvas is slippery on hard floors, so rosin paper is better over vinyl, tile and hardwood. Tape the sheets together and to the floor to provide a nonslip surface.

But even with canvas or rosin-paper drop cloths, large spills still need to get wiped up right away or they’ll seep through. Clean spills with paper towels or cloth rags. Likewise, if you splatter paint on any other surface, wipe it up immediately.

Feather Out Paint Where You Can’t Keep a Wet Edge

You can’t cover large areas like ceilings, extra-tall walls or stairwells in single, continuous strokes, so the best way to minimize lap marks on these areas is to feather out the paint along the edges that you can’t keep wet. The thinner, feathered coat of paint will avoid the buildup that causes the lap mark.

To paint a large section without leaving lap marks, roll the nearly dry roller in different directions along the dry edge, feathering out the paint as you go. After completing the entire length of the wall or ceiling, move to the next section and paint over the feathered edges.

For the second coat, apply the paint in the opposite direction. This crisscrossing paint application sharply reduces (if not eliminates) lap marks.

Sand Trim Between Coats for an Ultra-Smooth Finish

One coat of paint usually won’t hide the underlying color and sheen on trim. And if you don’t sand the surface smooth between coats, the finish may have a grainy texture. For a smooth finish, sand the trim before applying each coat of paint.

Sand the trim with a fine-grit sanding sponge. Sponges get into crevices where sandpaper can’t go and let you apply even pressure.

Then apply the first coat of paint, let it dry at least 24 hours, lightly sand it again for a completely smooth surface, and apply the second coat. After each sanding, vacuum the trim, then wipe it down with a tack cloth to remove the dust.
