Where Philadelphia's Rowhomes Are Oldest
Old City holds some of the country's oldest surviving residential blocks, including Elfreth's Alley, a National Historic Landmark street, and its wider streets mix 18th- and 19th-century brick rowhomes with former warehouses and factories now converted into lofts and condos. A large part of the neighborhood sits inside the Old City National Register Historic District, so exterior color and material choices on the original brick often go through a review before a crew touches the wall.
The two housing types call for different prep. The colonial and Federal-era brick rows need mortar joints checked and coatings that let the wall breathe, while the converted loft buildings usually have later trim, steel, or stucco elements added during conversion that take their own primer. PAINT has worked on more than two projects in and around Old City this year, on that same mix of historic rowhomes and loft conversions. Narrow, cobblestone streets also mean ladder staging and material drop-off get planned around foot traffic and limited curb space rather than a driveway.

Why hire a professional painter?
If you plan on painting your home yourself, it is essential to know that the job will take some time and effort. You must also be careful when choosing a paint color for each room. The cost of hiring a professional painter is more than worth it when you consider the time and effort required to properly prepare your home for painting, select the right paint color, mask off areas that you do not want to be painted, and apply the paint evenly to all surfaces. Professional painters have the tools and knowledge needed for a successful painting job. They will also use high-quality paint and apply several coats if needed.
How much value does painting add to a house?
The value of painting a house depends on the quality of work and how well it is done. Painting can be very expensive or relatively inexpensive, depending on what you do. A professional job will cost more, but it will also add more value.
How long does it take to paint a room?
The time it takes to paint a room depends on the size, how much prep work must be done and what type of paint is used. Ample, open space with high ceilings will take longer to paint than a small, cramped room with low ceilings. A simple coat of paint on the walls and ceiling can be done in just a few hours.
What to look for when choosing a painter?
Hiring one with the proper training and experience is essential when choosing a painter. A professional painting contractor will be able to provide references upon request as well as proof of insurance. Hiring a painter with the appropriate tools and equipment is also essential. A professional painting contractor should have ladders, scaffolding, drop cloths, and other necessary supplies.
How should you go about choosing a color?
This can be a daunting task. There are thousands of colors to choose from, and you may not know where to start. The easiest way is to select the color that appeals most or makes you feel good. You can go with a favorite shirt, tie, or scarf color. Or you may want to consider what colors are trending in interior design.
