Check out our practical and inspiring tips and tricks to design your very own backyard lounge area.

Following a few late snowstorms, spring (finally!) seems to be knocking at our doors. For a lot of us, the arrival of warmer weather almost always means setting up our deck, patio, balcony, or whatever outdoor space we may have. Whether you just recently moved into a new home or have been living in the same house for years, spring means enjoying the outdoors. Hence your outdoor space automatically turns into an extension of your home, making for a second living room or lounge area.

List of Good & Certified Painters

<h3 style="color:#737672;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;">Would you like to find out more information in order to be better prepared for your painting project?</h3>

Most people have painted walls at least once in their lives, when looking to decorate their first apartment to their liking, to camouflage drawings made on the walls by their children or to refresh a kitchen built in the '70s. You simply need to be patient and manual enough to deliver a satisfying result. However, for impeccable and resistant results, in the long run, it is best to hire experts for this type of project.

<h3 style="color:#737672;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;">Why hire a house painter?</h3>

We have just introduced the fact that painting is a generally affordable and accessible renovation project, so why should we hire professionals for this type of project? In fact, there are several very compelling reasons to use the services of painting experts:

<ul>
	<li>Professional painters are more efficient: they will be faster and they will employ the best techniques and quality products.</li>
	<li>The pros are familiar with the products available on the market: they will adapt the type of paint according to the room, the surface and the needs of the customer.</li>
	<li>They are used to working without damaging other surfaces. They will take the time to properly cover the floor, move objects and perform the work ensuring a minimum of inconvenience to the occupants of the house.</li>
	<li>Painting is a profitable renovation project, so even if you have to pay a fee for the labour, if you are in the process of selling a house, you will get your money back.</li>
	<li>Painters also often have access to discounts on product prices.</li>
</ul>
