Interior House Painting
​House painting offers protection for the walls and enhances the aesthetics of a building. But the interior painting approach is entirely different from the exterior painting techniques. Painting the interior of a home can be very challenging with a wide array of colors and types of paints available, which can cause a dilemma when choosing the right finish. Even if you want to hire a painting company, you should know the four major types of paint finish that are perfect for painting the interior of a home for a durable use; and here they are:

​1. Gloss and Semi-Gloss
These are some of the shiniest finishes, and they add a sheen to the interior walls. They are durable and capable of withstanding stains and high traffic. If your kids or pets stain the walls, the dirt or stain can be wiped clean or cleaned with warm water and soap. 
​2. Satin
Here is another paint finish that adds some sheen to the interior walls. This finish is between gloss and matte finish; however, its shine is not too noticeable. It is shinier and durable and can be maintained by regular cleaning. Meanwhile, it can reveal some issues like cracks or bumps in the walls due to its sheen. 
​3. Eggshell
Another suitable interior painting finish is the eggshell. It provides excellent coverage – the reason it is best for painting darker walls or large spaces. The eggshell finish has some sheen, but not very noticeable, and it can conceal any imperfections in the walls. Besides, it can withstand some damage and be cleaned with a damp cloth.
​4. Matte Enamel
This is the most popular type of finish. It covers the wall perfectly without any sheen or shine. It is perfect for rough or bumpy walls and ceilings. It is affordable and easy to apply. It is long-lasting and can withstand stain, scratches, and bumps. Its maintenance is minimal and can be retouched in case it gets stained.
​
​If you want to hire a painting company, ask for recommendations for the best finish that is ideal for your interior painting about your space or theme, durability, maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. Contact your Jacksonville Painting Company for more ideas for interior painting.

Having your building waterproofed is one of several integral maintenance tasks carried out here in Jacksonville, FL. It is essential to waterproof certain areas in the building that are susceptible to moisture, dampness or leakage. An example would be the basement. A part of a building that is prone to water seepage and excessive dampness. Failure to waterproof this area will result in the corrosion of the basement and costly repairs in the future.
​
However, you can protect your home by using many different waterproofing paints & coatings. Initially it may have additional costs, but it is a wise investment to prevent spending thousands of dollars in repairs due to possible expensive damage.

​What is Building Waterproofing Paint?
A waterproofing paint has the capacity to resist and prevent a leakage or passage of water or moisture. A complete building painting should include painting the basement and bathrooms with waterproofing paint. Pro Painters use this type of paint to waterproof commercial buildings and water tanks. 
Waterproofing coatings are made with the concrete base or latex acrylic. Any of the compositions can offer heavy duty waterproof barrier. The paint to use depends on the degree of moisture it must counter. The paint can be used on wood, concrete and synthetic stucco.  
​
​How to Waterproof with Building Painting
Bathrooms and basements are prone to more moisture and leakage than other areas of a building. As a result, to prevent the foundation of a building from water damage or moisture leaks requires hiring pro painters to apply building waterproofing paint to these areas.
​
Waterproof paints will inhibit moisture or water seepage through the walls, which is capable of destroying the home’s foundation over time. There is no way ordinary paint can withstand the moisture in the basement or bathroom. But pro painters know the best waterproofing paint to seal off moisture and water. Walls that are exposed to water or excessive moisture should be painted to prevent molds, from growing all over the surface. Molds and mildews are a risk to the health of the inhabitants of the building.
Waterproofing System
​When planning to use waterproof paint, it is best to hire pro painters who know the right procedures that will guarantee excellent results. Follow the guide below:
1. Clean and dry the surface
2. Seal small voids and cracks
3. Apply a humidifier on extremely damp walls days before the painting process
4. Apply waterproof paint on the surface
The best way to protect your bathroom and basement from water or moisture damage is by using building paint or elastomeric that has waterproofing properties.
