10 Reasons Why You Should Choose RandyMars Painters For Your Next Painting Project!
Clear the Decks
When preparing drywall, we have learned that drywall dust goes everywhere. At Randymars we do not take any shortcuts. If we are painting indoors, we move everything into the middle of the room and cover it.
Proper Drop Cloths
At Randymars we invest in the proper drop cloths. "It's surprising how a few drops of paint can cover a floor. We buy high-quality drop cloths, such as canvas or paper-backed plastic. (Paint soaks right through lightweight fabrics and bedsheets.)

Fix, Cracks and Dents
We know that bumps or nail pops jump out so we carefully smooth any of your repairs, bumps, and nibs with a drywall pole sander. For smoother walls and better adhesion, we sand all previously painted walls regardless of the shape they're in.

Do the Sanding
Sanding not only feathers out chipped paint but also provides "tooth" for the next coat of paint. We follow all hand sanding with liquid sand paper. We've seen homes where latex was used on oil-painted trim, and the paint started to peel in less than a year.

Vacuum Walls
Unless you like textured walls, we don't paint over dust. We clean your wall with a commercial vacuum to get all the left over dust.

Caulk All Cracks
Randymars fill all gaps with an acrylic-latex caulk, which cuts down on drafts and makes your trim look better than new. We seal all gaps and holes with wood filler.

Pick a Powerful Primer
Primers aren't just diluted paint. They're formulated to establish a solid, even base, seal stains and ensure that the topcoats of paint go on smoothly and bond securely to the surface. At Randymars we don’t cut corners, we buy the best primer that the market offers, period.

Buy Quality Paint
In general, glossier paints are more stain-resistant and scrubbable. Randymars always uses two coats of paint, which results in the best-looking job. We don't skimp on the coverage!

Supercharge Paint
"Modern paints dry too quickly and are difficult to brush out, so Randymars uses paint additives, such as 'Floetrol' for latex paints and 'Penetrol' for alkyds." Adding a few ounces per gallon slows drying time and makes the paint more workable.

Mildew
Although there are mildewcide additives, at Randymars we prefer using paints that have built-in mildew fighters. "These paints will prevent mildew from forming." (FREE)
