Why You Should Hire a Professional House Painter

If you are looking to refresh your home with a new coat of paint, hiring a professional painter is one way to ensure you get the best results. Their experience means you are not going to be looking at peeling paint, drips, or messes afterwards. Plus, they can get it done quicker than the time it took you to pick a wall color!

Professional House Painters…

 Provide Expertise

The best paint brands? We know them. 

The most useful brush techniques? Mastered. 

Proper surface prep? Let me show you our favorite primer. 

When you hire a professional, you are hiring someone who has painted a wall thousands of times. We know all the tricks to ensure the finish is flawless and will last. 

Our job is to ensure you get the best quality work, and that includes the following:

• Prepping the surfaces for proper adhesion of the paint - This can look like filling nail holes, removing hardware and switch plates, sanding surfaces, and calking cracks

• Protecting other surfaces, like the floor.

• Picking the right primers and paint types for the job - For example, a bedroom wall is not going to get the same type of paint as an exterior. This is because the types of material used in construction, as well as the wear and tear they are going to see affects the primer and paint choice. 

• Purchasing the right amount of paint for the job - Guessing how much paint you need for a DIY tends to go one of two ways: you get too much or too little. Most paint stores will not let you return unused paint. Going back to the store for more paint can mean variations in the color. We’ve done it enough to know just how much you are going to need. 

• Choosing the right tools for the job - We choose the right brush, naps (rollers), and other tools that will give the room the finish you are looking for. 

  
  

Are Convenient and Efficient 

Know what is more fun than watching paint dry? 

Literally anything. 

Hiring a professional house painter means you get to do anything other than paint. Painting your home can eat up every second of your free time. A project that can take a professional painter one day to finish might take you a week if you factor in your working schedule, feeding yourself, sleeping, walking the dog, or caring for children. 

Not only does this help you spend your free time enjoying your freshly painted room, but you also don’t need to worry about any of the nitpicky details like filling nail holes, protecting your carpet, or cleaning painting supplies.  

Have the Right Tools

When painting a home, there are several things you may need depending on the job:

• Primer

• Paint

• Tools for fixing nail holes, cracks, and other surface problems

• Extension polls

• Brushes and rollers or a sprayer

• Paint trays

• Drop cloths

• Painters tape

• Ladders or scaffolding 

• Sanders and sandpaper 

• Power washer (for exteriors)

All of these, especially things like ladders and tools, can add up. Making your cost-saving DIY turn into a more expensive project than you thought. 

Professional painters will give you an estimate in two ways. 

1. All together in one base price. Everything, including the cost of paint, is packed together, regardless of the cost of the supplies needed and used. 

2. Materials and labor are separated. This would mean there would be one price for the painter’s time, tools, and expertise. While paint and primer are at cost (meaning you only pay for what you need).
