Don’t (Paint)Brush Off your Homeowners Insurance, Mass!
Is your home ready for a change this fall? Sometimes it takes a few new accessories, while other times it may be time for a whole new look. You can easily achieve a new look by just changing the color of the walls- it’s that simple! Well, maybe not for some. To make sure you are ready to tackle on a painting project, we have a few tips for you, including techniques and protecting your home in the event of a painting disaster with homeowners insurance. Mass residents, pick up that paint roller and let’s get started!
Presenting, the 5 P’s:
#1: Paint Color. Don’t be afraid of color. Creams are always nice, but a burnt sienna will give your home a cozy fall feel.
#2: Primer. NEVER skip the primer. Without primer, the paint will not stick as well, and the true color may not show. Double-negative!
#3: Prepare. Making sure you have the proper clothing and right tools is so important. Stay clean with old clothing, paint brushes for the small areas and paint rollers for the large areas!
#4: Protection. Before you start any home projects, it is important to stay covered. With homeowners insurance, Mass residents will be ready to tackle the unexpected. Paint-can spill all over your hardwood floors? Your home insurance policy will help take care of the replacement costs. Besides covering your home, YOU are also covered as well as injuries and liabilities.
#5: Perfection. Never take the easy route while painting. Yes, you need to line the doorways, windows and ceiling with tape! If not, your paint job will look messy and you won’t see that perfect edge.
You want your new paint job to look fresh and professional! With these tips, you can achieve that. Not sure if you can do it? Maybe a friend can! Again, if that is the case- make sure your insurance policy is up to date. With homeowners insurance, Mass residents will not have to fear any injuries on their property: liability is covered! If you need to brush up on your policy, your agent will be happy to assist you. Happy painting!
