At Blue Parrot Painting the safety of our employees, clients and communities is our number one priority. We monitor the continually changing coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. We recognize this time is filled with uncertainty for many, and our thoughts are with you.
Virtually, every person or family, and all businesses have felt the impact. Blue Parrot Painting wants to reassure and update our friends and clients with precautions and preparations we have undertaken to do our part to minimize the spread of this virus. We also want to confirm that we are equipped to maintain operations, and are working on your behalf.
A client called us recently in a panic, ‘Please ask your painters to stop. I don’t know if I can live with this color.’ The color was a soft blue/gray, not bright or dark. But way out of her comfort zone. She had painstakingly chosen this color, applying several samples to the walls, systematically eliminating different shades over time and finally deciding on the one we were painting. We understood her concern. We’ve been through this before.
We read a lot about popular paint colors, interior designer’s go-to colors and client favorites. They’re the top-selling colors at paint stores for one reason - they work.
Preparation or 'prep' is one of the most critical steps. If it isn't
done the right way you will find that repainting will have to be done
more often and sometimes the whole paint job can fail. Prepping includes
sanding, cleaning, caulking, filling holes - whatever may be necessary
for your particular project. The best quality paint can fail due to
improper surface prep, so as time-consuming as it is, it's a job you
want to be certain is performed correctly.
