Why Professional Painters are Better than DIY

We’ve all searched the pages of Pinterest in hopes of finding the perfect DIY project. A trip to the local hardware or arts and crafts store, a few simple steps, and voila – Pinterest perfect, right?

If you are anything like me, you’ve been a victim of the all too familiar “Pinterest fail.” That vision of perfection you had in your head turns out looking like something your four-year-old niece created, only not as adorable. And, perhaps a bit cringe worthy, too.

The “DIY” mantra is everywhere, from fixer uppers to building that shoe storage shelf for your closet that you’ve been wanting for years. If the pro’s can do it, why can’t we?

The hard truth is that not every project is worthy of DIY, despite our best efforts.  You might think you’ll save money, or perhaps time, but there are indeed things you really want to leave to the professionals.

If you are considering a major DIY project, like painting the interior or exterior of your home, read on to learn why hiring a professional is the best thing you can do to save time, money, and your sanity, too.

Why Choose Professional Painters?

Painting your home is no easy feat. There’s furniture to move, entire rooms to clear out, and rolls upon rolls of painters tape – not to mention ladders to climb and that one tiny spot you will inevitably miss. Don’t worry though – you’ll be seeing it in your sleep for years to come!

Hiring a professional painter ensures that your paint project will not only look professionally done, it will be done well. And, you won’t have to spend more money having to repeat the process later.

Here are a few more reasons why hiring professional painters is the way to go:

• First, they know what they are doing. They are skilled professionals who are knowledgeable when it comes to safety and repairs, including filling holes and cracks in ceilings and walls. Hiring a professional ensures that you will get the seamless finish you want.
• Professional painters properly and thoroughly prepare your space, including removal of screens or old paint that will compromise the finished product.
• A professional painter can give you expert advice and help you to avoid choosing the wrong color—the one you’ll regret and have to paint over in a few months time.
• They’ll also be able to give you the technical expertise that comes from experience – experience most of us don’t have. Painting a home requires proper mixing of paint, even quantities, and a very steady hand. If you don’t do it right the first time, it’s going to cost more in the long run. So, hiring a professional actually saves you money.
• They do the clean up for you. The last thing you want to deal with is the clean up after a long, potentially frustrating day of painting. With professionals, you won’t have to worry about cleaning up the mess or moving furniture back where it belongs.

A professional painter saves you the exhaustion, stress, and time that we all know is better spent relaxing and knowing that your home is in trusted, professional, experienced hands.
