Painting Techniques

In this day and age, house painting has gone well beyond a brush and a bucket. While the old standbys are still handy, painting techniques are now involved enough to mimic wood, stone, weathering, textures, and patterns at a fraction of the cost of the real thing.

At the same time, painting technique is not all pomp and circumstance. Rather it is as much about sanding, patching, and rolling as it is about marbling, sponging or stenciling. This section of our CalFinder Home Improvement Library will address the many painting techniques, from the art of glazing to the function of sandpaper. We hope you will learn and enjoy. Also check out our many painting ideas and pictures including exterior paint, interior painting, bathrooms, kitchens and more.

Here is what has been said about our House Painting Contractors:

Thank you John for a superb job especially the way you cleaned up at the end of each day, it was nice to come home after work and find our home in same manner as we had left that morning except for the beautiful new paint on our walls and trim. I will highly recommend Burke Painting to any of my family and friends who are looking for a custom painter.

I've already recommended you to a couple of my friends. Thank you for a first rate custom paint job, my doors look like they have a factory paint finish on them. Exactly what I was looking for. -- Darlene - Lafayette
