Scarborough residents choose painting services that prioritize indoor air quality and environmental responsibility because traditional paints release volatile organic compounds that linger for weeks after application. It's Always Something, LLC uses eco-friendly, low-VOC, and non-toxic formulas that deliver professional finishes without compromising health—especially important for homes with children, pets, or family members with respiratory sensitivities. Interior and exterior projects benefit from advanced coatings that resist mildew, withstand Maine's coastal humidity, and maintain color integrity through seasonal temperature swings.
Custom color options let you match existing finishes, create accent walls, or refresh entire interiors with shades that complement natural light and furnishings. Professional painters prepare surfaces thoroughly—filling cracks, sanding imperfections, and priming correctly—so paint adheres properly and lasts longer. Exterior work addresses peeling, chalking, and weathering caused by salt air and UV exposure, with preparation techniques that prevent premature failure and maintain curb appeal.
Surface Preparation and Application Techniques
Professional painting begins with surface assessment: identifying moisture damage, checking for lead paint in older Scarborough homes, and determining which repairs must occur before coatings are applied. Interior projects involve protecting floors, furniture, and fixtures, then cleaning walls to remove grease, dust, and contaminants that prevent adhesion. Primers are selected based on substrate type—drywall, plaster, wood, or previously painted surfaces—to ensure uniform coverage and durability.
Exterior painting demands more intensive preparation: power washing to remove dirt and mildew, scraping loose paint, repairing damaged siding or trim, and applying caulk to seal gaps. Low-VOC paints perform just as well as traditional formulas while reducing environmental impact and eliminating off-gassing that affects indoor air quality. Custom color matching ensures touch-ups blend seamlessly, and professional finishes eliminate streaks, lap marks, and uneven coverage.
