Painting your home is all about the end result. The reward of seeing your home transformed from such a simple thing as a can of paint, and some brushes is worth the effort. The problem is that on it’s surface painting seems like such an easy thing to do. But, it’s not always as easy as it’s cracked up to be. Here are some of the pros and cons of doing the job yourself or hiring a professional like Independent Painting.

Do-it yourself Painting Pros
Obviously the first glaring one is that you are going to save money by doing it yourself. Another is there is complete accountability, if something gets messed up you know who to blame. Oh wait I thought this was about the pros. Typically the main expenses of painting it yourself are the paint, primer, paintbrushes, drop clothes and tape. The only thing is saving money may be the only reason why you would want to DIY it.

Pros of Hiring a Professional Painter

• It’s all about the best use of time. How much time do you really have to invest into your project. You could get pulled away from the project for a dozen different reasons. While a pro can usually be done in one to two days because that is their specialty and they have focused on becoming super proficient in this exact skill. On average when a homeowner who has a full time job takes on a DIY job like painting the exterior it takes them about a month to complete the job. There have even been contactors who have kept extensive records that says that one out of five homeowners who embark on the DIY adventure, end up hiring a professional at the end anyway.

• Don’t discount the benefits of a painter with insurance, if something goes wrong on the job. Their insurance can cover the costs of making the replacement.

• On it’s surface, painting seems super simple. You buy some brushes and a can of paint and you slap it on. Reality can be MUCH different however. While it’s possible to paint most interiors yourself, can you get it right, and will it last are very difficult for the average DIY painter. We have been painting interiors for 20 years. We’ve learned the shortcuts, and where you absolutely should NOT take a shortcut. And that’s a huge difference that should not be discounted.

• There’s is a pretty significant injury risk while painting. That is why the cost of insurance for a home painter remains so significant. The majority of accidents are typically from step ladders, even short ones two to six feet high.

• It’s all about using the right tools when it comes to painting. Some of these tools are very, very expensive as well. While you can buy a $2 paint brush at home depot. There’s a significant difference between that $2 paint brush and a professional level paint brush. It can affect the paint density, how many coats you need, the speed in which you can do the job. All from a simple paint brush. You also have to know for the surface what types of brushes or rollers are best suited. You can’t buy a single brush and conquer your entire house with it.

• Are you aware of the importance of using the right paint for the job? As professional interior painters we have seen every job, and sometimes have learned through hard experience exactly which types of paints are applicable to which jobs. It’s one of the tenants of our profession.

• It’s not just about the applying paint to a wall. The toughest part can be the preparation. Does the surface need sanding? Can you tape the area effectively? This is all standard skills that a professional can do. Applying tape with expert level clean lines is much harder than it looks.

• Professionals use paint that produces the best results, both for beauty and durability.

• Painting professionals bring to bear their experience on the job. While a homeowner may paint a house a couple of times in their lifetime. The fact that a painter might do this every day for years is just going to increase the level of proficiency beyond anything a homeowner can achieve. A major factor is that a professional knows what problems to avoid that a homeowner will generally only learn through tough experience.

Saving up the extra money in order to hire professionals to do the job when the time for new interior paint has arrived is a great idea. Contacting our professionals will help you simplify the entire painting process, in addition to making it less stressful.
