6 Reasons to Hire a Professional Painter for Your House

Posted on June 11, 2019

Your house needs painted. It’s a monumental task without the skill set and tools that are required. Now is the big decision, do you want to do it yourself, or hire a professional. Here are 6 reasons to hire a professional painter for your house. 

Time

Do not make the mistake of underestimating the amount of time this project will take. Remember, it takes twice as long to prep the house as it does to actually paint. Professionals work quickly, in teams through the preparation and painting. They have experience that lets them move quicker from one project to the next. They also have all of the tools to make the job go smoother. That means less trips to the hardware store eating up time. With this information, take into consideration the time you’d be saving to hire a pro.

Quality

Because professional painters have experience dealing with homes and paint jobs, they will be able to identify any underlying issues you may be facing with your painting. A simple crack or old caulking is a fast fix for them that will make your paint hold up better in the long run. Contractors will have the tools to correct the problems available to grab and correct right away. This will make the quality of work turn out better and last longer. So in hiring a professional, you could be extending the life of the paint. 

Details

Painters have the luxury of working on projects daily, giving them an eye for the details that could make or break your job. Using their hours of hands on experience, they will be able to turn out a job that is sheer perfection. Little things like a line that’s slightly off or a ding that wasn’t repaired will be taken care of prior to completion of work, to give you a flawless project.

Efficiency

Career painters have learned ways to get the best outcome on a job in the least amount of time. They are efficient in their work and can still turn out a beautiful project. Plus, because they are hired in, there is no errand or family duty that interrupts their work. Because of this, they can bring a project together much quicker than you can. 

Insurance

Licensed contractors carry insurance that will save you heartache in the long run. Should something happen with your work, the painters will be able to correct it, or cover the damage with insurance. This should give you piece of mind with your work, knowing any potential problems will be mitigated.

Equipment

A quick painting project can require a cart full of tools, as any big box store will tell you. Between safety gear, cleaning, painting items and paint, you’re looking at a decent investment just to do the work yourself. Adding up the tools necessary, combined with the time used to get them and do the work, you might be saving money to hire a pro. They come with their own tools after all.
