20+ Years of Excellence in Home Transformation
We’ve learned a lot over the last 20 years painting Portland homes that a book never could. From the historic South Portland, ME neighborhoods with century old plaster walls to the newly built Scarborough, ME developments with drywall we’ve dealt with every challenge that can occur on a wall surface. That hands-on experience translates into us being able to anticipate issues before they can happen and picking the right product for each specific scenario and always satisfying the expectations that will last for years. It’s not just about a number, it’s about a difference between paintwork and a real makeover.

The Right Paint for Every Room in Your Home
All surfaces in your house are not the same, and putting the same product on all surfaces is one of the most frequent shortcuts that results in substandard and short lived results. Kitchens and bathrooms require moisture-resistant finishes and appropriate primers to withstand moisture and frequent cleanings. High-traffic hallways and staircases need durable, scrubbable coatings that stay looking fresh despite heavy use. Low-VOC, low-odor formulas will help maintain clean, safe indoor air quality, especially in bedrooms. For living rooms and dining areas, opt for finishes that are able to maintain their colors even in different lighting conditions during the day. We carefully consider the function of a room and its environment before recommending a single product at By The Number Painting. This is not extra work, it’s simply the right way to do residential painting.
Surface Preparation The Foundation of Every Great Paint Job
Across every home we’ve painted, one truth has never changed: the quality of a paint job is almost entirely determined before the first coat ever goes on. Surface preparation is the back end of our business and the most important part of what we do, without a doubt. We fix hairline cracks and cracks in walls. Rough or previously painted surfaces are sanded for good adhesion. We thoroughly clean walls, removing all dust, grease and residue that may lead to peeling down the road. Regardless of the type of surface bare drywall, previously painted plaster, or a tricky high moisture area, we use the appropriate primers. Not one of these steps occurs after our painters even open a can of topcoat because we know that the shortcuts show up six months later if we don’t take these steps. We don’t do shortcuts.
Bringing Fresh Life to Older Portland, ME Homes
While newer buildings can’t replicate that charm and character that’s found in older homes in Portland, ME, they do come with their own set of surface challenges. There are lead-safe practices, aging plaster, numerous layers of old paint, and uneven surfaces, which take a certain level of knowledge and patience, and can only be attained from being in the home environment. By The Number Painting has been working in Portland’s older housing stock and they know how to treat these situations properly, safely and with respect to the architectural character of which these homes are special. We don’t attempt to make a house that was built in the 1890’s appear as if it were built yesterday; we simply take the house forward in a beautiful way.
