Light colors will help lighten a dark or poorly-lighted room, and provide a psychological lift. Light colors also make walls and ceilings appear to be further away, and can be used to make small rooms appear larger and more open.
Dark colors can give a room a dramatic look, and create a sense of intimacy. They can also make walls and ceilings appear to be closer, and can be used to make a large room appear smaller and more cozy.
Bright, vibrant colors will give the room a cheerful feel, and a sense of excitement.
Reds, yellows and oranges are warm colors. When these colors are used in a room, they make the walls appear closer, creating the illusion of a smaller room.
Violets, blues and greens are cool colors. When these colors are used in a room, they make the walls appear farther away, creating the illusion of a larger room.
Tans, greys, and off-whites tend not to attract attention, and can be used to create a restful, relaxing atmosphere. They are also easier to coordinate with other colors in the room.
For long, narrow rooms, paint the shorter walls a darker color. This will make these walls appear closer together, so the room will seem less like a tunnel.
For square rooms, paint one wall a different color, preferably the wall first seen when entering the room. This will give the room a more dramatic look and make it seem less ‘boxy’.

To decide which paint sheen is best for your project, ask yourself the following questions:

What room, area, or surface is being painted?
Will the painted surface be handled frequently, or subjected to abrasion or excessive wear?
Will the painted surface be washed or scrubbed frequently?
Will the painted surface be regularly exposed to moisture or high humidity?
Does the surface being painted have any nicks, dents, or surface flaws present?
Your answers to these questions will help you select the best paint sheen to use, based on the following advantages and drawbacks of different paint finishes.

When selecting exterior paint colors, take the fixed colors into account (like the roof, brick, stonework or any stained wood), and make sure all the colors look good together.
Light colors will make a small house seem larger, and dark colors will make a large house seem smaller.
A large, boxy house can be broken up by using a trim color that contrasts the body color.
A small house will appear larger if the trim is painted the same color as the body of the house.
Light colors will help keep a home cooler in warmer climates, because they absorb less heat. Dark colors will help keep a home warmer in cooler climates, because they absorb more heat.
Because light colored paint films absorb less heat, they will generally last longer than darker colored paint films.
Some communities have restrictions on what colors can be used on house exteriors, so check this out before you make your choice.

Along with selecting the right products and colors for your project, you’ll also need to estimate how much paint you’ll need. This is done by calculating the surface area that’s being painted, and dividing it by the estimated coverage rate of the paint you’re using. When estimating your paint needs, keep the following things in mind:

In most cases, it’s better to buy a little too much paint rather than not enough, so you don’t run out in the middle of the job. But don’t overdo it! Ideally, you should end up with 1 – 2 quarts of paint leftover, for future touchups.
Paints in ready-mixed colors are returnable (in full, unopened containers), but tinted paints are not. This means estimates for tinted colors must be done much more carefully, so you don’t end up with more paint than you can use.

The coverage rate for most paints is 250 – 350 sq. ft. per gallon (check the product label for more specific information). The exact coverage will depend on the following factors:

The type and condition of the surface being painted (i.e., age, porosity, roughness). A paint won’t go as far on a rough, porous or textured surface as it will on a smooth, well-sealed surface.
The type and quality of paint being used. In general, higher quality paints will cover better than lower quality paints, and lower sheen paints will cover better than higher sheen paints.
The method of application. The coverage rate will be slightly higher for brushes and rollers, and slightly lower for paint sprayers (due to overspray).
The experience of the painter. A more experienced painter will usually be able to make the paint go farther than an inexperienced painter.
Some colors cover better than others. Here are some general rules of thumb:
Darker colors cover better than lighter ones.
Muddier colors cover better than cleaner colors.
Yellows and reds generally don’t cover as well as other colors.
Factory-mixed colors cover better than store-tinted colors (because higher quality pigments are used).

The following guidelines will help ensure best possible color consistency:
Use the same batch of paint for each job or structure.
If the paint is a tinted color, it’s best to ‘box’ the paint (mixing the paint by pouring it from can to can) before starting. The next best thing is to always keep the paint container partially filled. In other words, refill the container when it’s half-full, not when it’s completely empty.
Paints should be applied at the right temperature. For best results, the air, surface and paint temperature should all be between 60º – 80º F.
Don’t stop painting in the middle of a continuous wall or trim surface, or a lap mark may show where the two coats overlap.
Allow painted surfaces to dry for at least 14 days before washing. Use a mild detergent to protect the paint finish.

The same general calculations are also used to estimate how much paint will be needed for an exterior painting project. Or, use the following worksheet to estimate how much paint will be needed for the body of a house. This worksheet gives a paint estimate for one coat. Double the total for two coats (Note: for exterior paint jobs, two coats of paint will provide the best durability and colorfastness).

1. Width of all walls added together x Height of house from foundation to roofline = Wall surface area below roofline.
2. Width of gable x Height of gable = Area of gable in square feet. Repeat line B for each gable and add together.
3. Total from line A + Total from line C = Total surface area of walls.
4. Width of eaves X Total length of all eaves = Area of eaves in square feet.
5. Total from line D + Total from line E = Total surface area of walls and eaves.
6. Height of window or door X Width of window or door = Area of window or door in square feet.
7. Repeat line G for each window and door and add together.
8. Total from line F – Total from line H = Total from line H.
9. Total from line I + 250 – 350 sq. ft./gallon for one coat of paint = Number of gallons needed.

To get an accurate estimate for the trim paint, calculate the surface area of the doors, window trim and any other surfaces that will be painted with the trim paint, and add these numbers together for the total trim surface area. Then divide the total trim surface area by the coverage rate of the paint. For a rough estimate, figure on 1 gallon of trim paint for every 8 gallons of body paint.

Mildew can grow on a painted surface because the paint film provides a food source for the mildew. Use the following guidelines to help reduce the chances of mildew growth:

Latex paint films are more mildew-resistant than alkyd or oil paint films (alkyd and oil paints provide a better food source for the mildew).
Higher sheen finishes are more mildew-resistant than lower sheen finishes.
Newer paint films are more mildew-resistant than older paint films.
A thick paint film resists mildew better than a thin paint film, and two coats of paint are better than one.
A topcoat applied to primed wood will be more mildew-resistant than a topcoat applied directly to bare wood.
Existing mildew must be removed before repainting, or it will grow through the new paint film.

For living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, etc., flat finishes are better because they provide a softer, more muted look, and they don’t show surface imperfections.
For children’s rooms, utility rooms, kitchens, etc., higher sheen paints are preferred because for these areas, higher washability, moisture, stain and scuff resistance is usually needed.
Low sheen and eggshell finish paints provide a happy medium, with a nice balance of soft finish and good durability.

For exterior siding, flat and low sheen finishes are better because they’re easier to touch-up, and they don’t highlight surface imperfections.For gutters, trim, doors and windows, higher sheen paints are better because they provide better washability, moisture, stain and scuff resistance.

The appearance of a color depends on its surroundings, so a color should be checked only with the other colors that will be present in the area being painted.In general, colors will end up looking somewhat lighter and brighter on a large sample area than they do on the color chip; you may want to adjust for this by choosing a color that’s slightly darker and less intense.

A color’s appearance is affected by the sheen of the paint it’s made in; for example, a color will look softer and more muted in a flat or lower sheen paint than it does in a higher sheen paint.

A color’s appearance is also affected by the other ingredients in the paint; for example, alkyd and oil-based paints usually look more yellow than latex paints, especially with light off white colors.
The light conditions will affect the appearance of colors: for example, standard (non-color corrected) fluorescent lighting will make colors appear more blue; incandescent lighting will make colors appear more yellow-orange.
If you’re very particular about the color you want, the best way to check a color is to buy a sample quart or gallon in the type of paint you’re going to be using, and paint out a sample on a fairly large piece of wood or drywall that has a texture like the surface you’ll be painting. This will make it easy to check the color in different areas, and under different lighting conditions.

Over time your houses exterior will build-up dust, dirt, film, and oxidation. In damp areas it can also build-up mold, mildew, and fungi. The build-up of these contaminates causes your house to appear old, dull, dirty and can contribute to the degradation of the paint.
Having your house pressure washed will remove all of the fore mentioned contaminate leaving the exterior of your home vibrant and clean.

Most likely it is mold. All mold needs to grow is moisture (humidity) and a food source and it will grow anywhere.

Yes, Mold and mildew around your home create unhealthy conditions for those with allergies and asthma. Pressure washing will remove mold from siding, trim, and concrete surfaces.

No. The chemicals and detergents we use to pressure wash houses, decks, and driveways are used in a much diluted ratio. This in combination with the rinse water further dilutes our already mild detergents down to harmless levels.
In the event a strong chemical is needed to achieve desired results, precautions are always taken to ensure the safety of your plants and grasses.

A deck can easily be harmed with a pressure washer if it is used improperly. However, when used properly pressure washers are efficient tool for removing old sealer and weathering from the surface of the wood leaving behind the natural wood color. An experienced person can achieve this result without causing any harm to the wood.
This is the reason why renting a pressure washer to do this on your own is not recommended. The finished result you will get, and time and headache you will save by hiring a professional is well worth the money spent.

Driveways are usually made of concrete or asphalt. In the case of concrete driveways, the concrete is pours. This causes it to act like a sponge when oil is spilled on it. Because of this, the oil can be removed from the surface and lighten the oil stain, but will most likely leave behind a stain.
In the case of asphalt, the asphalt itself is made from oil. The stains are more easily removed from the asphalt, but cannot be complete removed due the fact that it would degrade the asphalt itself.

Sure. Pressure washing the fence, as with decks, will remove the gray weathering from the wood bringing it back to its original color. Fences that have been weathered to the point of extreme dry rot won’t experience a good result though.

Will pressure washing remove the rust or black spots from my siding?

Yes. The black spots that can appear on siding are mildew. Rust streaks found on siding are caused by the rusting of the fastener used to attach the siding. In either case, pressure washing will leave your home’s siding clean and free of these contaminants.

There are many factors that will determine the results you will get when pressure washing. The pressure washer machine that you most likely will get when you buy or rent one is not capable of providing the same output as a professional pressure washer machine.Professionals have the knowledge and experience in using the combination of the equipment and chemicals. An inexperienced individual can easily cause damage to the surface they are attempting to clean with the pressure washer and/or chemicals.
Considering these factors, hiring a professional will most certainly save you time and money in the long run while giving you better results.

The answer to this question depends on the condition of the paint. If the paint is cracked and peeling off, then the answer, of course is to re-paint. On the other hand, if the paint is in good shape but the color appears “chalky”, then you should have it pressure washed.
The white chalky color on the paint is oxidation. This is caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. In most cases we can remove the oxidation from the paint restoring vibrancy back to the original color. This is usually the case, unless it has gone too long and the oxidation is beyond repair.

Generally you should have your house pressure washed yearly. If your house is in an area where it is exposed to lots of airborne dust and dirt, then you should pressure wash it twice a year. These conditions are usually present along major roadways and near dirt lots. Pressure washing your house on these recommended frequency schedules prevents the build-up of dirt, film, and oxidation, keeping your house looking beautiful as well as prolonging the color of the paint.

The primary purpose of gutters is to protect your house from water damage. Gutters protect the siding, doors, windows and foundation by allowing water to drain through downspouts and avoid contact with the house. When gutters and downspouts become cluttered with dirt and debris, the gutters are unable to function properly. They will eventually overflow, causing damage to your house and damage to the gutters as well. Gutters need to be cleaned twice a year, perhaps more if your house is surrounded by trees.
By Yawata Company there are two options to clean the gutters either by standing on a ladder or stand on the roof and clean the gutters. The feasibility of the second option depends on the pitch of the roof. We will clean dirt and debris out of the gutter, remove as much of the leaves sticks and other debris by hand depending on how wet the debris is. If it’s dry we can normally use a leave blower otherwise we will use high pressure water. We will completely rinse out the gutters from one end to the other. We finish by cleaning out the downspouts. Spray water at the top of the drain into the downspout to ensure a free flow of water.

Deck restoration and cleaning keep decks well maintained. Deck cleaning and restoration keeps any deck looking nice and usable. Without cleaning, a deck will soon deteriorate. Even decks that are labeled as maintenance-free should be periodically cleaned and restored to keep them looking like new. Deck restoration can make the deck smoother, more usable and more resistant to fungi and molds after treatment. The boards of the deck will last many years longer; because they will be sealed against moisture the deck will also look better because it will be clean and waterproofed.

Low maintenance yes, maintenance Free no. Anything left outside in this area’s humidity and sun will get dirty. Your car gets dirty sitting in your driveway and so does your house.

A pressure washer is one of the best time saving tools to come along in years. Besides cleaning the house or a building from a dust, dirt, or bird residual, pressure washing houses should also be done when you want to prepare it for new paint by removing a chalking residue from old oil or latex paint. Whether you are preparing your home’s exterior for a repainting or refinishing job, pressure washing is an excellent way to get the job done. Yawata Company Pressure Washing Services can clean sidings and trims that are grimy, dirty . If you are planning on applying a new coat of paint on your home, power washing will ensure that the new paint will last longer.

It is very important to clean concrete, since under many conditions slippery mold and/or mildew grows on it. Especially around an in-ground pool, water with the mold growth makes even walking very slippery. After the concrete is washed and sealed with a concrete sealer some concrete actually looks brand new after power-washing it.
