A new helping hand lent by the Ace Hardware to about 50 High Schools & Homeowners of the country. In an announcement by the company they promised of their new campaign by the name of Helpful Hands which is a nation wide program which awards a paint makeover to one high school on each of the states. With a view of a partner so as to promote this initiative in a more efficient manner the company has collaborated with local stores across the country. The company is offering a $2000 paint makeover to the schools.

With the use of the tips provided by Lou Manfredini Ace is encouraging people around the country to have a painting makeover for their houses with some of the expert tips and suggestions:

1. Right choice of Paint

Use of Ace Royal Fresh has been recommended for high traffic areas such as kitchens or bathrooms as this product contains Scotchgard Protector which helps to prevent stains, marks and scuffs.

2. Proper Tools should be used

Proper grade and standard paint brushes and rollers have been suggested to be used. Purdy & Wooster are one of the best to provide efficient options for this suggestion.

3. Prep the Space

Before a person paints his wall he should fill up the spaces or cracks on the walls. One should use painter’s tape for the areas they don’t want to paint. The Ace Frog Painter’s tape offers the perfect solutions which are backed by the paint blocking technology that can seal edges and prevent the paint to seep inside.

4. Paint like the Pros

About 3/4th paint brush should be submerged inside the paint so as to create less wastage or create a mess. Proper holding of the metal is very important in order to grip the brush and paint conveniently. When the roller is used a dip can cover about 3-4 foot when brushed in a W pattern whereas the sections that get remained can be covered later by vertical or horizontal strokes.
