Many homeowners are expecting to stay in their current home longer than originally anticipated, therefore some are embracing home improvement projects, like painting, to increase the value of their home in a cost-efficient manner. In this upcoming painting season, updating the look of a room with a fresh coat of paint can be done right the first time by selecting the correct tools and spending minimal time to prep.

Protecting surfaces with a painting tape before you begin can help reduce the need for touch-ups and provide the straight lines or patterns you desire. When choosing a tape, look for a product that is ideal for multiple surfaces, like window frames, baseboards, painted drywall, outlets, doorknobs, hinges, windows, countertops, carpet, wood flooring and more. 

Painter’s Mate Green is a cost-effective, professional-grade painting tape that helps make painting projects easier and more accurate. Thanks to its premium paper and unique adhesive formula, it can be used on all types of indoor and outdoor surfaces, including painted drywall, wood, metal, glass and more.  It is UV-resistant, and delivers great performance even in direct sunlight. Its high-quality paper allows the tape to bend and adhere to hard-to-mask areas, forming a tight seal to prevent paint seepage.

Some projects take more than one weekend – no problem with Painter’s Mate Green. It can be left on surfaces for eight days before you paint and will deliver crisp paint lines without leaving a residue.

Painter’s Mate Green is available at Menards and select Ace Hardware Stores for $2.97 to $5.49 depending on width for a 60-yd. roll. The tape is “Recognized by its color.  Known for its quality.™” Visit www.thegreentape.com for additional product information.
