Decolores Painting Frequently Asked Questions 

The following are frequently asked questions we regularly receive from our clients in the Ashland, MA, area. If you have any questions that are not addressed in this FAQ, call us at (774) 641-0706.
  • What colors are the best colors and why?

    Simply put, color affects mood. Red, yellow and orange are considered the warm colors which incite happy, excitable moods and stimulation. They're great for offices for that reason. 


    Blue, green and purple are called the cool colors because they're relaxing and peaceful. Think bedroom and den. The light colors, like beige or any off-white are spacious and uplifting. Perfect for the doctor's office.


    Dark colors make rooms look smaller and are depressing. Bold colors are appealing while whites reflect light, but beware, they get dirty pretty easily.

  • Can I paint over wall coverings?

    Don't do anything for at least two or three weeks, and when you do clean, make sure you use a cleaner that won't destroy your paint. 


    Read all labels for directions for your cleaner, make sure it is properly diluted and practice cleaning first on a small unnoticeable area.

  • Does it matter what type of brush I use?

    Absolutely. Not only does it matter what type and size brush you use, it even matters if you should USE a brush AT ALL. 


    In many cases, not only is using a roller or a sprayer easier, but it will provide better results than a brush, which can drip or blotch. Frankly, it depends on the thickness of the paint, the texture of the surface, and even the weather.

  • Can I paint over my vinyl siding or do I have to take it all down?

    Yes, you can paint over vinyl siding. Not only is it cheaper and easier than replacing vinyl siding, painting over vinyl siding can look great too if you use the right paint. 


    It can change the whole appearance of the house, you can do it more than once, and it provides quite a unique look if done properly.
