Forget DIY, Choose a Professional Painting Company Instead
June 28, 2016
From home decor to clothing and more, do-it-yourself projects are hot right now. With the craze, we’ve also seen a rise in DIY painting jobs gone awry. Don’t spend Saturday after Saturday stressed out about your project — avoid sloppy paint jobs by trusting a professional painting company from the get-go. Still tempted to try your hand at painting your home? Here’s a list of some of the most common DIY painting problems the team at Platinum Painting sees on a weekly basis. Avoid these and other issues by trusting professional painters with your project!
Messy Paint Jobs
Of course, one of the most obvious risks you run when you paint your own home is that it won’t look as good as if a professional had handled the job. You’ve got lots of talents, but painting just may not be one of them. Especially when the project is as big as the walls inside or outside your home. In addition to the walls, we’re also talking the corners, edges, trims, and around every outlet, too. People who take on their own painting jobs are often surprised at just how big the job is, and end up cutting corners as a result.
They Spend Too Much Money
It may seem like DIY paint jobs would be the most affordable way to freshen up your home, but inexperienced painters often spend more money than they need to when all is said and done. Why? They just don’t know that much about painting — including how much paint to buy, what types of brushes are needed, which primer is best, and the list goes on. Guess what? That’s what painting professionals are for.
They Become Injured
Unfortunately, inexperience in home painting often leads to injury. A professional interior or exterior painting company is equipped with the belts, ladders, and safety harnesses necessary to complete a job the safe way. Don’t let a lack of preparedness leave you with a strained back or, even worse, a broken bone. Instead, hire a professional painting team.
They’re Stressed Out
Your free time is special — you don’t want to spend it on a project that ends up taking considerably longer than you expected it to. We see too many people waste Saturday after Saturday stressing out about the appearance of their paint job. A professional painting company can complete the job far more quickly.
