Whether you have one apartment building or an entire complex, you will need occasional maintenance. If you have a small number of units but aren’t very handy, hiring a contractor may be a good idea. By hiring Painters in Los Angeles to paint your apartments when tenants move out, you can always have professionally painted units without hiring a full-time maintenance staff.
There is more to painting than dipping a roller in a pan of paint and rolling it on the wall. Professional painters take extra precautions to ensure that the flooring is not damaged while they paint the walls. Vacant units are easier to paint than occupied units but hiring a professional ensures that your new tenants will not be disappointed with the look of their apartment.
Professional painters will make sure they only paint the walls in your apartment. They will remove all electric socket and light switch covers, lighting fixtures and door knobs before they start painting. Expect all of these to be replaced after the paint is dry and before the painters are finished with the unit.
Before applying the first layer of paint, your painters may clean your walls. The painting job will be more effective when the paint is applied to clean, dry walls. If there are any cracks or holes in the walls of the apartment unit, your painters will repair them before they begin painting. Painters may also make repairs to baseboards or apply caulk to the edging in your unit. Making these repairs before the unit is painted will eliminate the need to touch-up the paint after the work is done.
If you are unsure which paint will work best in your apartment units, Painters in Los Angeles can make suggestions based on the uses for the rooms and the amount of humidity in your apartment building. Latex paints are popular because they are among the easiest to clean. Whether you use flat or glossy paint depends mostly on your personal preferences and the needs of your tenants.
