Is it Time to Paint the Interior of My House?

Time flies when it comes to interior paint jobs. How can you know if your Boulder, CO, rooms need painting again? Can they get by for another year or should you invest in a new paint job? Can the ceiling go longer between paint jobs than the walls? The professional painting team at Jacobsen Brothers Painting have taken the time to answer these and other questions so you can better evaluate whether or not it is time to paint the interior of your home. Here are some quick ways to evaluate the state of your interior paint.

It Sparks No Joy

Perhaps the most important factor to consider when evaluating the wall paint is to ask yourself if it is something you love. If the color and the paint job no longer inspires and energizes you, then it may be time to switch it out for a better choice. With as much time as everyone is spending indoors these days, it is an investment that will pay back in productivity. Let us help you choose a color scheme that will infuse your home with fresh energy.

The Colors are Faded

Sunlight can be brutal on paint. It fades even the most dramatic colors over time, dampening their effect and creating a blasé appearance. If your paint has faded, you’re not getting the same amount of energy and interest from the room as you were before.

There’s Dirt and Dust Buildup

If you walk through your home and critique the amount of dirt, scuff marks, grease spatters and dust on the walls, you may be able to easily conclude whether or not it is time for a fresh application of paint.

Too Many Years Have Gone By

If you can’t remember how long it has been since you’ve had a professional painter come to your home, it probably has been too long. The rule of thumb is to paint every 2 to 7 years, depending on how heavily used the room. Adult bedrooms that don’t get a lot of sunlight may be able to get by with 7 years while hallways, kitchens and children’s rooms will need attention every 2 years. Ceilings can usually go a year or two longer than walls.

It Looks Outdated

Fashion may have passed you by if you suddenly look around and realize you are still featuring colors that were popular a decade or more ago. When dated colors and old styles are replaced with a professional application of fresh choices, you may be surprised at how fabulous your rooms now look.
