Why do Painters wear white?

2/17/2021

"Painter's Whites" 
Synonymous with the Painting Industry but why?

Picture

​White uniforms often signified union membership.

Painters wearing white outfits became a painting industry standard around the 19th century. It became a sure-fire way to distinguish members of the Allied Trades and International Union of Painters from non-unionized painters. White uniforms also allowed painters to be separate from other trades such as railway workers who typically wore pinstripes and farmers who donned blue or brown. 

​​White hides white.

With major paint brands such as Benjamin Moore and Behr offering more than 100 shades of white, painting contractors choosing a white outfit seems ideal! Also, keep in mind that several other products used by painters, such as caulk, spackle, plaster, drywall repair etc is white as well. 

White for summer heat.

Being a painting contractor what offers exterior painting services, you'll often be outside in the hot summer sun. White painters uniforms offer a professional look while staying cool. 

Do you wear white when you paint?

Painting Brick

Is it ok to paint brick?

Most of the building in Calgary are clad with vinyl, stucco or wood but, you will often see brickwork too. Brickwork is often used for building exteriors and as siding but, is more common place inside as sills and fireplaces. Due to the composition of bricks, colour will often differ and not work well with specific interior design ideas and trends. The solution? PAINT THE BRICK. 

Hiring a local painting contractor to paint out brick is a god idea as many homeowners fail to prep the brick properly.

Thinking of painting brick? Decide first if you want to whitewash it or cover it completely.

​Then, comes the brick painting prep. 

Prepping your brick for painting: cleaning the brick takes some elbow-grease. Get out some brushes and rags and be sure to clean out all those crevasses. And always tend to any caulking that needs attention too. With any painting job, prime first! A masonry bonding masonry primer is what you should get. Coat the brick with this primer, let it dry completely  and then you can begin to paint. Regular paint will often allow moisture to get trapped inside. With brick being a porous material, you'll often end up with cracking or flaking in the mortar. Yuck! Even worse, you could see some of the paint bubble. Avoid this with proper brick painting preparation and quality products.  What does that mean? Use only masonry or brick paint which is designed specifically to let vapors move through the brick. Then, water retention isn't an issue.

Paint Colours to Help Sell Your House

Thinking of selling your home? It's in your best interest to ​consider choosing exterior paint colors that will speak to the broadest range of Calgary buyers. Think traditional or neutral tones. These are a good bet if you're hoping to get the best sale price and the most out of your Exterior Home Painting experience. 

Off-White - the safest colour choice. Pair is with a slightly darker shade for trim or shutters and maybe give the door a pop of colour like red or yellow. 

Yellow - yellow will always make people feel happy. Go with a lighter, more toned down version instead of a sunny yellow however. 

Light Blue - cozy, quaint and understated. Offers an inviting feel to buyers. Consider a darker shade of blue for your door and use white as the exterior house paint trim.

Grey - about as neutral as white but with more character. Grey gives you the option to add colour to doors, windows or landscaping.

Best Way to Paint Stucco

8/7/2020

How to Paint Stucco? 

Hire Fresh Calgary Painters! Just kidding .. a little. 

Here are some tips to make the most out of painting stucco if you're taking it on yourself. 

CONSIDERATIONS & PREP WORK:
  • Check out your existing stucco. Are there any cracks that needs to be repaired? A good, acrylic caulk will often do the job. 
  • Major stucco issues like peeling or patching that needs to be tackled? Get a premixed stucco repair compound to tidy it up. 
  • Clean your stucco with a pressure washer. 

PAINTING STUCCO:
  • Look at the texture of your stucco. Why is this important? This will determine the roller you'll need to paint. The greater the texture, the larger the nap you'll need on your roller. Plus, you'll need more paint overall. 
  • Rather use a paint sprayer to paint your stucco? Yes! This will save time and sanity. Highly recommend. 
  • Measure once, paint once: determine just how much paint you'll need by getting the square footage of the stucco surface needing to be painted and then add on additional 25% for paint as stucco is a thirsty surface. 

Tired just from reading about how to paint stucco? We'll do it! Call us for all your Calgary Stucco Painting needs. It's our job to love this kinda work! Get your Free Stucco Painting Quote or call us today at 587-206-5803
