Painting is something everyone assumes they can do well
until they actually try it. Many homeowners only realize their mistake once
paint starts to peel off the walls or they notice patchiness and color inconsistencies
halfway through a project.
By hiring a professional painter, you spare yourself the
headache of trying to paint on your own. Here are just some of the perks
professional painters offer.
Painting is a skill with its own nuances and intricacies.
There are many things
amateur painters regularly bungle
while trying to paint their house. For
example, you may not know that:
- You need to wash your walls before you paint
them so dust doesn’t ruin the texture
- Walls painted with an existing oil-based formula
won’t take latex paint unless sanded
- There are two kinds of paintbrushes – natural
and synthetic – and they work with different types of paints
Professional painters have learned all these lessons through
training and trial and error. You can trust them to do the job right the first
time with attention to detail.
Different brands of paint have different formulas. Some are
waterier and may require several coats to achieve the pigment you want, whereas
others roll on smoothly and emit a nice, glossy sheen. Exterior paints are
particularly hard to choose from, as the wrong paint will fade in the sun.
The average homeowner is unlikely to know which brands or
products to trust without trying multiple or trusting online opinions. A
professional painter, on the other hand, will know exactly which paints and
primers are right for your home.
Painting isn’t as simple as buying paint, a roller, a tray
and a brush. Many different products and
tools
go into achieving the perfect look, such as:
That’s a significant upfront cost if you were to buy all the
tools yourself. Even if labor costs seem high, you will save yourself money,
time and energy and achieve a better-quality result with a professional painter
who brings their own tools.
During a DIY project, if you spill paint on your leather
couch or injure yourself falling from a ladder, you must pay the full price of
furniture replacement and medical care. A high-quality, insured professional
painter, on the other hand, would handle these costs.
If someone injured themselves on your property, for
instance, the contractor they work for would have to cover it. Same thing with
your furniture – they’d need to fully reimburse you for whatever was destroyed.
Nothing beats the convenience of getting to sit back and
relax while someone else does all the work for you. When you hire a
professional painter, you don’t have to worry about moving furniture, doing
prep work, shopping for supplies, doing the painting or cleaning up. The
painting company you choose will complete every step of the project from start
to finish.
Other benefits include not having to climb up a ladder,
which may be a concern for older homeowners, and reduced project time.
It may be fall, but it’s still way too hot outside to paint
the exterior of your house or lug supplies back and forth in the sun. At
