A&A PAINTING NEWS Issue No. 3, November 2017 A&A Painting Ltd. Newsletter A&A Painting Makes History! In the middle of September of this year, A&A Painting Ltd. made a little bit of history by restoring and repainting the old Fire Lookout and Watch Station atop the Old Glory Mountain near Rossland, British Columbia. Early last June, A&A Painting had been contacted by The Friends of the Rossland Range to restore and repaint the old fire lookout station. Although the fire watch station is accessible by hiking, the crew had to be flown in by helicopter because of the equipment, paint and materials needed for the job. To restore and repaint the old fire watch station to its original color, the A&A Painting crew decided to paint the whole exterior and interior ceiling in Marine Eggshell White. Since some scraping and sanding needed to be done, a battery powered sander was used because the station didn’t have any electricity. The interior was restored to its green color state as well. The painters even restored the old wooden desk and cabinet and gave it a new coat of varnish. Aside from scraping and sanding the exterior and interior walls, some holes were patched since the building materials date back to at least 1966, graffiti were managed as well. Before and after of the fire lookout station Castlegar: - Trail: - Although long retired from the B.C. Forest Service in 1977, the restoration and repainting of the fire lookout station on Old Glory is also a restoration of its long history and service. A&A Painting is proud of this job and hopes to continue restoring historical sites in the future. Call today for a free estimate!

Lower Painting Cost from Resident Professional Painters There is less demand for painting services in winter and the silver lining in this is that you can often get services for less compared to what you’d pay in the summer months. Painting costs naturally increases when it’s in demand in the market but when there is less work, professionals are more likely to be flexible with quotes. 2. Paint Dries Faster Paint actually dries quicker in low temperature of the winter because there is less humidity present compared to the summer. 3. Interior fumes are not a problem Low to zero VOC paints are your best option to use and this pose next to no risk for your health. This practically eliminates concerns over fumes. **A&A Painting has an air filtration and containment system that will seal the newly painted room to keep the unwanted odors from being inhaled by odor-sensitive clients. This system uses fans to extract the air from the room and direct it all to go outside. This will make the paint dry faster, too! No VOC fumes and faster dry time. It’s a win-win situation! Choosing Paint Colors for your Home Nothing transforms your home like changing the colors of your wall. But choosing paint colors can be quite challenging and overwhelming. With a huge variety of colors, you wouldn’t even know where to start. Here are some basic color knowledge that you must know: • Warm toned colors include reds, yellows and oranges. These colors are used to liven up a dull and boring space. • Cool toned colors represent relaxation and meditation and include the shades of blue, green, indigo and violet. • White represents purity, peace and intellect. Great for offices and areas that you need to think. • Black and browns are grounding colors. These colors are used in various shades throughout the home. Choosing a color for a certain room depends on its function. The climate of where you live should also be considered. Warmer tones to those who live in the cooler weather and cooler tones for those in the warmer regions. Castlegar: - Trail: - Call today for a free estimate!

Handymen, painters, electrician, repairmen and cleaning services are being given access to homes and our families are exposed to strangers. Do you know who you are letting into your home? It is a company’s responsibility and priority to background check the personnels they are hiring.
