Benefits of Having a Professional Painter Paint Your Home

7/9/2020

​The process of a professional painter looks so easy that one could be forgiven for thinking that they are actually enjoying themselves. This is why some homeowners do not see the value of hiring a professional painter to paint a house. Such owners are so taken with the idea of a painter’s work being something of enjoyment that they do not realize painting itself is hard work.
Benefits of a professional painter
But unless they have real experience with interior home painting, is it ever a good idea for owners to paint their property? This question is best answered after we understand why we paint houses in the first place.
​
Most owners think of painting only in terms of its decorative value. Knowing what painting does for a property can help us navigate the pros and cons of homeowners doing the job themselves.

The Benefits of Painting a Property

Enhanced curb appeal
The easiest way to enhance a property's value is to boost it's curb appeal by giving it a fresh coat of paint. Painting is a minor improvement that yields significant results.
​
Protection against the elements and prevention of wear and tear
Exterior paint protects outside walls from cold, heat and moisture. Inner paint protects interior walls from moisture, scrapes and scratches. Paint can slow down or hide the process of wear and tear.

To make the property unique
The best features of a property can remain hidden until they are highlighted with the right kind of paint. This is why we paint niches, entryways, art windows and other features.

​Even though painting a house is similar to what children do when they play with paint and colors, painting is not child’s play. The paint quality on a house is a critical aspect of the owner's overall marketing and maintenance strategy. This is true even if the house is not a rental property or on sale, points out Innovative Property Solutions.
Homeowner may waste money painting
​The quality of painting impacts the property's long-term value by preventing avoidable damage to the asset. Professional painters are allies who help owners get the most from their homes for the longest time possible. The pros of hiring one outweighs whatever advantages owners receive by painting themselves.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Painter

Saves owner's time
Painting a place involves taking down décor, moving furniture, taping off edges and then returning everything to their place once the job is done. Homeowners often underestimate the amount of work required.

As a result, when a homeowner decides to paint their home, they invariably take far more time than they initially allocated for the job. This impairs their availability for other pressing matters.

Better quality work
Even with the extra time they take to do the job, homeowners may not achieve the same results as a professional. There will be missed spots, paint on the ceiling and an absence of clear lines in the paintwork. On the other hand, a professional painter has a well-honed system that allows them to deliver top results within the shortest time frame.
​
Using a pro saves on costs
Owners who paint by themselves end up spending far more money than they would if they hired a pro. They have to buy the equipment needed for the job, such as brushes and rollers. To get a near-professional finish, they have to apply more layers of paint.
Interior paint is important
​If the effort fails, they must pay a professional to correct their mistakes. This is exclusive from the opportunity costs of painting by themselves.
​Professionals offer their clients a guarantee
When a professional painter paints a house, they do so with the awareness of a profession that holds them to the highest standards. They have an incentive to use the highest-quality paint and do their best work. They know they will be liable if there is damage to the property from their work or the paint, if it doesn’t perform to expectations.

Professionals match surfaces to the right paint textures
Paint does not adhere with equal consistency to all surfaces. Some paints perform best on specific types of surfaces. Professional painters know which paints go with what surfaces and when the texture they want is unavailable, professional painters can create them.

Help in choosing colors
The best paint finish can be overshadowed by a wrong combination of colors. Furthermore, the right choice of paint is necessary when trying to highlight the features of a property. Professional painters bring their knowledge of colors to influence a homeowner's eventual decision.

Professionals create a healthier environment
The wrong paint will hurt the health of people who live inside a house. Professional painters help owners minimize exposure to toxic fumes, lead poisoning and often opt for low to zero VOC paints. This promotes air quality inside a house and reduces the possibility of asthma or allergy attacks.

Most of the time when homeowners are thinking of painting their homes themselves, it is because they focus on the short-term costs. In reality, a professional is cheaper in both immediate and future costs of painting a property. Moreover, the benefits of using a professional painter spill over into areas of the home that are not easily quantified in terms of money.
