Rental Property Painting

Painter's tape

Painter's tape is a great way to protect your surfaces from getting paint on them. It is easy to use and can help you achieve clean, crisp lines when painting.

Drop cloths

Drop cloths are another essential tool when painting. They can help protect your floors, furniture and other surfaces from paint splatters and drips. They are also easy to use - simply place them where you want to protect the surface and then paint away!

Primer

When painting your rental property, it's important to use primer. Primer helps the paint adhere better to the surface, which can help create a more even finish and prevent the paint from peeling or fading over time. Additionally, primer can help disguise any imperfections in the surface that you are painting, making your finished product look much more.

Paint

When it comes to paint, there are a few different types to choose from. Latex paint is a popular option, as it is durable and easy to clean.

Additionally, latex paint can be tinted to any color you want, so you can create the perfect palette for your property. If you are looking for a more durable option, acrylic is what we use for exterior house painting projects.

Of course check with your painting contractor or local paint store for some expert advise on what's the best paint for your project.

Assortment of brushes and rollers

When it comes to brushes and rollers, there are a few different options to choose from. For smaller, more detailed work, a smaller brush might be the best option. For larger surfaces, a roller might be a better choice.

Additionally, there are a few different types of rollers to choose from - foam rollers, nap rollers, to microfiber rollers. Each with a different use to create a certain surface finish. Let your advisor or house painter know what you want your surface to look like and they can advise the type of roller that would be best.

Paint sprayer

When painting the exterior of your rental property, using a paint sprayer can be a great option. It is a faster way to paint - a paint sprayer can cover a large surface area much more quickly than a brush or roller.

A couple of things to consider are, when using a paint sprayer you will need to do a lot more covering of surfaces you don't want painted. You will also use a lot more paint than you will with a roller or brush.

Using a paint sprayer is usually left to the professional paint contractors, but if you are up for a big challenge, sprayers are available to be rented.

Ladders and Scaffolds

When painting your rental property, it is important to use the right tools for the job. One of the most important tools for painting is a ladder or scaffold. Here are a few things to consider when choosing the right ladder or scaffold for your project:

Ladder

When it comes to ladders, there are a few different types. There fiberglass ladders, aluminum ladders, and wood ladders. You have extension ladders that can reach as high as 40 feet. There are step ladders and dual purpose ladders. Most are available to be rented and of course the professionals have what is needed.

Scaffolds

There are many types of scaffolds, but suspended scaffolds are the ones usually used on the average property painting project. They have a platform running between a set of frames usually made of poles that are connected together.These also can be rented.
