I Love to Paint, so Why Should I Hire The Pros

One thing is true, almost any design and renovation project involves an enormous amount of painting. Even if you are not renovating, it might be tempting to take on a project like just painting a room or a space yourself.

Painting is one of those skills that, on the surface, looks very easy. In reality, painting a room properly takes experience, knowledge, patience, and skill.

It is very easy for homeowners to feel a bit confident after taking on a few home painting projects. Why not save the cost of professional painters and take on the project yourself?

Here are a few reasons that, for the best results, you really should consider leaving those painting projects to the pros.

“I love to paint, so why should I hire the pros?”

1.

Efficiency- You don’t want to create additional work for yourself. Have you ever heard the saying “You don’t know what you don’t know”? This is true of many professions, especially painting. Having only a “little” knowledge can sometimes cause more work than needed. Using the wrong product, improper application, doing things in the wrong order, or just inexperience can cause complications that might not be easy to fix.

2.

Durability- You want your paint to last as long as possible. Most of the labor and time in a painting project is spent in the area of prep work, which is the most important part of any project. If done improperly, it can drastically decrease the longevity of even the nicest looking paint application. The prep needed can be unique to each situation and this is an area where a misstep can lead to paint and application problems.

3.

Materials- You want to use the best product for the job the first time. With so many options in the marketplace promising great results, it is very easy to spend a lot of time and energy researching and searching out particular products. Even then, you could still wind up with the wrong product for your particular painting situation. Professional painters have years of experience with different products. With their help, you can be sure the right product is being used while also avoiding the frustration of a shoddy outcome that can come from a poor-quality product.

4.

Project timeline- Professional painters have the knowledge and experience to move through your project quickly and efficiently. Painting your own space often leads to your house in disarray for much longer than necessary. This is extremely important if you are in the middle of a renovation project or if your project requires additional steps.

5.

Total Cost – By the time you invest in the proper tools, ladders, and products, then spend time backtracking in the areas that you might find challenging, you likely will have spent more time and money more than a professional paint job would cost.

6.

Final Results- As a professional designer and renovator, I can easily spot a professional paint job, as well as a not-so-great paint job. You might be happy with your results at first, but then you will see a professionally painted space and you will start to see the difference. The final project of a professionally painted space will always reflect the years of expertise behind the paintbrush.

Until Next Time,
