When it comes to painting, most homeowners focus on the big decisions — colors, finishes, and brush types. But there’s one small detail that can make a huge difference in your final result: the tape you use.
🧵 The Problem with Cheap Tape
It’s tempting to grab the bargain roll from the hardware store, but cheap or imported painter’s tape often causes more harm than good.Here’s why:
Poor Adhesion: Cheap tape doesn’t seal tightly, which means paint can seep underneath and ruin your clean edges.
Tearing & Shredding: Low-quality tape tends to tear unevenly when applied or removed.
Surface Damage: Many off-brand tapes pull off fresh paint or leave behind sticky residue that’s hard to clean.
The result? Frustrating touch-ups, messy edges, and extra work you didn’t plan for.
✅ Why We Use Green FrogTape®
At RPR Contractors, we use Green FrogTape® for nearly every project. It features a PaintBlock® Technology that reacts with latex paint to form a micro-barrier, sealing the edges and giving you razor-sharp lines.It also removes cleanly without lifting paint — even on delicate surfaces like trim, cabinets, and freshly painted walls.
💡 Pro Tip from the Pros
To get the best results:
Always press the tape firmly along the edge to seal it properly.
Paint over the tape within a few hours of application.
Remove the tape while the paint is still slightly tacky — pull it off slowly at a 45° angle for a perfect, crisp line.
🏠 The Bottom Line
Painting is all about the details — and using the right materials matters.When you trust RPR Contractors, you’re not just hiring painters — you’re choosing professionals who know the difference between a good job and a flawless finish.
