Some house painters list the exact brand and shade of paint in the quote. It is the painter&#8217;s responsibility to determine exactly what type of primer and paint is suitable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/painter2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1951\" src=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/painter2-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"painter\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" \/><\/a>The amount of preparation required before painting varies considerably by job. Some locations will require wallpaper or paint to be removed and the surface prepared with primer or other material. Other jobs simply require the surface to be cleaned, so that the new paint can adhere to the surface.<\/p>\n<p>The method used to apply the paint varies, depending on the type of paint and the surface itself. For example, oil-based paint is best applied with a roller, while latex based paint can be sprayed onto the surface. The size of the project, the colours used and the layout of the walls also can affect the method used.<\/p>\n<h3>The services offered by a painter or decorator include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>House painting<\/li>\n<li>Roof painting<\/li>\n<li>Window painting<\/li>\n<li>Hallway painting<\/li>\n<li>Door painting<\/li>\n<li>Fence painting<\/li>\n<li>Deck painting<\/li>\n<li>Interior painting<\/li>\n<li>Exterior painting<\/li>\n<li>Decorating<\/li>\n<li>Bedroom decorating<\/li>\n<li>Wallpapering<\/li>\n<li>Stopping with plasterboard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A painter or decorator has the ability to  &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[980],"tags":[952,954],"class_list":["post-1558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice-painting-decorating","tag-952","tag-954"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Painters and Decorators - What They Do<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/project-advice\/advice-painting-decorating\/painters-decorators.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Painters and Decorators - What They Do\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A painter or decorator has the ability to ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/project-advice\/advice-painting-decorating\/painters-decorators.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Builderscrack Blog - Home Repair &amp;
