Handyman Service Interior Painting of a Child And Baby Room in Waterford Lakes

We were recently called on to do a rush Handyman job for a customer. This family had prepared the child's room but their previous handyman had disappeared. The found us and we pushed aside some other projects so that the child could sleep in their own room... we have a soft spot when we can hear the child crying in the background while the homeowner is asking us if we can come out on a Sunday!

This room was painted the typical all white, and the homeowner had pulled aside all the furniture so we were able to get right to work. The colors they picked out were a baby blue and a bright yellow, and were just right for a kids room. Because of the speed with which we had to work, we had to free-hand the corners where the blue and yellow met, i.e. no tape to make the line sharp. Also, the owner wanted the raised sections of the French closet doors painted in blue as well, which was another freehand task but smartly pulled the room together.

Here's the finished, painted kids room:

In this case, the paint was chosen by the homeowner and was a primer/top coat. Because of the texturing in the walls, the age of the drywall, and thickness of the paint, a gallon would only cover about 250 square feet. In this case, a small splash of water in the pan can stretch the paint closer to the typical 400 square footage. However, this is a tricky thing to do, and if you try it, use just a little water and make certain that you mix it well. And of course, it had better be a water-based latex!

Overall, this job took about 9 man-hours to complete.  A little longer than normal for a room but we wanted the child to enjoy this room for years to come!
