Here’s the third in a series of light online training videos, helping homeowners and apartment dwellers to estimate the amount of time their redecorating project should take to complete.

“So much of a good paint job goes into the preparation,” says Yoni Borojevic, Diamond Touch’s president for over 20 years in the GTA. “So that’s where most of the time is spent, depending on the condition of your walls, the different finishes you might want to use, and the finish and detail work you’d like.”

The new video mentions a few of the most common scenarios, along with typical time estimates for average projects of each type. Surprisingly, it’s not unusual for Diamond Touch’s crew to be in and out in a day or less for many one to three-room jobs, from start to finish.

“For most people, redecorating their home or even just a couple of rooms and the main entrance hall completely disrupts the household routine,” smiles Borojevic. “Knowing they can count on us to come in, mask off the untouched areas, do complete sanding and surface preparation and all paint work, and then full cleanup in a day means it’s easy for them to accomodate. And it’s like an instant transformation from old to sparkling!”

In this second light online training video, Diamond Touch helps homeowners and apartment dwellers to decide between doing a job themselves or hiring a painting contractor to refinish their homes.

“Some people like to take on a home painting project themselves, and it can be rewarding” says Yoni Borojevic, Diamond Touch’s president for over 20 years in the GTA. “But there are certainly times when it’s best to call a professional. We touch on some of those situations with this second video.”

Headed by Borojevic’s drive to educate the firm’s customers, his team of painting professionals helped create topics for the video series based on conversations with customers over the years. And they promise to get into real topics that don’t always place painting contractors as the best choice.

“It’s important to make your place look good with quality paint work,” smiles Borojevic. “And it’s what goes on behind the scenes, as well as before and after the job, makes all the difference in how well it turns out, and how long it lasts. Besides, there are some jobs that no-one in their right mind would want to do themselves!”
