Opt for the deepest, richest shades on your walls and the result will be flawless with the talented team at Chagrin Home Improvements on the job

It’s almost the new year, a time when a homeowner’s fancy turns to thoughts of kitchens, bedrooms and baths freshly painted in the latest hues. A professional paint job by the experts at Chagrin Home Improvements guarantees that no matter what rooms you paint or colors you choose, your home is in the best of hands.

“Our crews are experts in this trade with years of training and experience,” says owner Joe Jacobs. “With a foreman on every job with over a decade of experience with interior painting and drywall repair, we guarantee your job will be completed to your full satisfaction. Our crew is trained to do this job the right way. And, make no mistake, there is a right way to paint.”

Joe and his crew have seen plenty of paint jobs gone wrong, typically when well-meaning homeowners take matters into their own hands.

“People often think painting is a DIY project that doesn’t necessarily require training or experience,” Joe says. “How hard can it be? Pick up a brush and get started, right? Well, we’ve cleaned up a lot of messes over the years. People quickly realize once they get into it that there’s a lot more involved than they expected. Then once issues arise and things aren’t going well, they don’t know how to fix it. Why not leave it to our experts for a stress-free experience?”

Joe’s crew consists of friends and family members he has worked with for years, working summer jobs in high school and college as they learned and developed their skills in the trade.

“We learned from the best—true masters of their trade—who taught us there’s a right way to execute a paint job and it’s critical to the finished product,” says Joe. “Most DIY-ers skimp on the preparation. It’s time consuming and an easy corner to cut, especially when you don’t know what to look for. And if you think it’s just the basics of cleaning the walls and patching holes, think again.”

Joe says poor wall preparation makes all the difference in the final product and can even affect the look of any color you apply. Moody, dark paint colors are having a moment right now in home decorating. Bold, deep and dramatic is very popular. However, that beautiful shade you picked out to update your home might look completely different on an improperly prepared wall.

“Deep colors can come with all kinds of issues when you try and apply them to a poorly or unprepared surface,” Joe says. “They can be difficult to work with, turn out blotchy and sloppy looking if not done right. And they’re a bigger job to correct if you have problems.”

Things like the right tools for the job, the highest quality paints and products, the correct type of paint for the room, even the right order to do things all make a big difference and require training.

“At Chagrin Home Improvements, we’ve also invested in a state-of-the-art wall sanding system that allows us to achieve a perfectly smooth, even finish while eliminating dust with a high powered HEPA dust collection system,” says Joe. “It’s a game changer when repairing walls and prepping for paint.”

Start the new year off right and let the experts at Chagrin Home Improvements update your home the right way. It’s the only way they do it.
