I want to address trust in this post. I think it is very important that you trust whoever is working around your home. Not just to do a good job but will they show up when they say they will. Will they tell you the truth even if it should mean they will not get the job. Will they be honest about everything
.
We try our best to give a truthful answer to your questions. If we do not know something we will say so and try to find the answer for you.
We have worked in many homes where the owner trusted us to be there when they were at work. Not something I enjoyed but they did trust us. I really would rather they had been home but that is not always possible. We just go about doing our job like they are at home. Being careful not to disturb anything we do not have to in order to complete our tasks.
We do not smoke, drink or do drugs and never have. We strive to always be on time for appointments and to arrive the same time everyday weather permitting.
I attend Oakwood Baptist Church in Chattanooga and have for several years now with my wife. My wife is a paralegal for a Chattanooga attorney.

Today I was reading where a painter was saying he rarely ever use a drop cloth when rolling ceilings. That is just crazy! We always use drop cloths to cover the floor and plastic to cover furniture and other items while painting walls and ceilings. We cover sidewalks, porches and driveways. We cover bushes and plants if needed. I would never say I was so good I did not need a drop cloth. So beware of painters without drop cloths! No one is perfect. Continue reading...

When looking for home improvements contractor , watch out for companies who states they pre-screen contractors for you. All these companies do, is to get your referral to as many contractors they can that pay them for the service. They sell leads to the contractors who are listed with them and collect huge fees, $25-$30 a lead even if they do not get the job. This can add hundreds of dollars to the final cost. Just think about it this way. Someone has to pay in the end and it's going to be y... Continue reading...

It's me again! I just want to quickly say we clean gutters. This is something I know you all hate to do and a lot of us put it off. I know I have. Gutters should be cleaned out in the fall after all the leave have fallen. Then again in the spring a lot of people need them cleaned out again. Please do not let your down spouts stop up. This can lead to problems like rotten wood and peeling paint and water sometimes can get into your home. Another thing it is a good idea to have splash blocks at... Continue reading...

Most people want paint to cover in one coat. Very few paints will cover in one coat over any color. Some will cover over a lighter color. If the can says one coat coverage it may just do it for a pro but maybe not a do it for a non pro. Even I have a hard time getting some paint to cover in one coat.
One paint we are using now is doing a very good job of covering in one coat. Sherwin Williams Super Paint.
We have had some luck with Valspar getting it to cover in one coat.
A lot depends on what yo... Continue reading...

The single most important thing for A nice lasting paint job is the prep work.

But if not done right you can have a real mess that can be very costly later on. We at Martin Brothers Painting do our best give you a vice paint job. We do all the necessary prep work then and only them will we paint. A paint ... Continue reading...
