Recreation Room Painting On A Budget In Pocopson, PA

When you have a home with a recreation room, better known as a rec room (as has been subsequently popularized in the great Disney World attraction, “The Carousel Of Progress”) you may realize that one of the best things that you can do for it gives it a good paint job to make it look nicer.

Of course just like in The Carousel, one of the biggest concerns for the painter at home is how to get the painting done in a budget-friendly way without making it look obvious that less money was spent — no sense in spending less money if you then have to go back and spend more money to correct errors that you may have made in the name of saving it.

There are some very specific ways that you can save money on your painting project and we will cover a couple of them here — and hopefully we will eventually return to this subject in a future article covering more ways to save money.

Let’s look at some tips about recreation room painting on a budget in Pocopson, PA

1. Paint More Slowly

As mentioned above, the very act of making mistakes while you are painting is one that is going to quite often lead to you spending more money than necessary.

One such mistake that people will make while they are painting is to paint far too quickly — and in doing so, make painting errors that might not even be caught until the paintwork is complete and then have to be corrected.

This time and effort spent in correcting these errors can be quite costly as you might have used the time better and on top of that, it often will require you to use up more paint — sometimes requiring the purchase of extra paint that you weren’t anticipating.

2. Use Moderately Priced Brushes

Though the name of the game here is in saving money (and in a sense is the name of the article) you aren’t going to want to just spend as little money as possible to bring down the price of your project as in some cases this will make it cost more.

Paint brushes, for example, are a good example of something that if you go way too cheap, it will harm your painting project — specifically because of how poorly some inexpensive paint brushes will paint (often those in a dollar spot) and how they will even come apart while you paint.

Spend the extra money and get a set of moderately priced paint brushes and rollers and you will find that you will have brushes that will last you well into your next project and then some, if you take care of them well.

3. Look For Paint Sales

A fairly simple notion is that you aren’t going to rush into the painting project — and this will allow you time to wait for the paint to go on sale and thus spend less money overall on the project.

Though paint does not go on sale quite as often as other things, there are some predictable times of the year when some stores will have paint sales and if you can hold off getting the paint you need until they do (it sometimes helps to have price tracking apps monitor paint prices for you) you can truly benefit.

4. Measure Your Walls

Lastly, a seemingly strange notion that can really help save you money when you are painting your rec room — measure your walls first.

Doing this will help you to know how much paint and primer you are going to need, which means that you’re not going to be going out there and getting too much paint or primer nor too little.
