Painting Yourself Vs Hiring A Painter
Summer is the prime time for exterior and interior painting. And, after colour, the one question on your mind is probably whether you should do it yourself or hire a painter.
When the cards are down and you’re looking for a timely, top-level job, hiring a painter will always be your best bet. But that doesn’t mean DIY is never a good option. It really depends on the project itself.
Today, we’re going to look at when it’s best to paint your home on your own and when you need to think about hiring a painter. Let’s get started!
Painting Your Home On Your Own
Painting on your own can seem really tempting. In some cases, it may be best to do it on your own. For smaller, one-room projects and touch-ups, you’re safe to DIY.
Painting on your own is also cheaper and relatively easy (depending on the project, of course). However, it’s much more work for yourself, and even smaller projects will take a heck of a lot longer while still not reaping the best results!
When It’s Best To Paint On Your Own
Again, small projects and touch-ups are totally DIY friendly. And, if you have a bit of experience, you can do most projects that don’t need thorough preparations or special equipment.
Hiring A Pro To Paint Your Home
There are plenty of good reasons to hire a painter instead of doing it yourself. The first and most important reason is the results. This is no slight to you, but unless you’re a seasoned professional painter, you won’t get the same results.
And it’s not all about skill and experience, either. Professional painters have access to top-of-the-line tools and paints that normal consumers may not be able to get. These tools, paired with those skills and years of experience create better results. And sometimes, those tools make the job get done quicker too.
Usually, the only drawback is that hiring a painter can get expensive, especially for larger projects. But it’s those projects that really need the experienced hands of a professional painter. Plus, the insider colour tips are invaluable.
When It’s Best To Hire A Painter
Again most exterior painting jobs are better left to the professionals. And not just because of the results. It’s safer too. Plus, hiring a painter may be more expensive than doing it yourself, but it does give you a lot of time back into your hands.
Here are some other instances where hiring a painter is definitely the way to go:
When your walls need lots of preparations and minor repairs
Homes with high ceilings or intricate details
Projects with a specialty finish (ex. high-gloss paint)
