This age old question may not go back to the beginning of time, but in Modesto it is important just the same.  Over the years many of our clients who have been looking to update,  spruce up or make a subtle change in the appearance of their homes have presented us with the question:  should I paint before or after the carpet is laid down?

Many have been convinced by past experiences that painting first ensures their new carpeting remains paint free.  Our painters recognize this as a legitimate concern, so if it is your desire to paint first, by all means, go ahead and paint before installing the carpeting.

However, some points worth thinking about:

Ultimately we feel this question is best answered by: "it depends on who does the painting".  Hiring a reputable professional painting company  that uses proper preparation and taping techniques should alleviate your worries. To do so, be sure to take advantage of resources such as the Better Business Bureau and the Contractor State License Board to check the contractor's business reputation and credentials.

Here at Lancaster Painting , we answer the question concerning painting and carpeting in the best way we know how. In these economic times, we all want to be certain we have hired a company that we can trust to demonstrate precision and care when working in our homes. At Lancaster Painting we stand behind our work , and have for 25 years. While we feel that if properly prepared, either order will work, we believe it is in our client's best interest to install the carpeting first and allow our painter's to apply the paint (the finishing touch) last.
