Paint Your House With A Professional House Painter (Contd)

Professional house painters do even more work than you might think.  How so?  Let's explain.

House Painters Bring Professionalism to the Job...

Professional House Painting

Did you think about all the work that is required to scrub and clean all the exposed surfaces before they can accept paint? A painting contractor does.  He views your project as a complete series of steps.  Your external walls may look clean, but after years of wear and tear, there will be all sorts of nasty materials that need to be scrubbed off before you even think of house painting.

A house painting contractor will come to the job ready to clean, with all the right equipment.  Have you really given any thought of all the specialized equipment that you will require. A single ladder just does not cut it, and if that is what you were thinking of using, you are getting closer to being one of those house painting related injury or death statistics. A house painting contractor will have the necessary equipment to do the job safely and efficiently.

Interior Painting:  Did You Know...

Did you know that you are going to have to tape off some areas? You are probably not going to be painting everything the same color, so have a look at what, and where you are going to have to tape off to make sure the job is done right. There will be some pretty tight and challenging areas, which a house painting contractor, who comes to the job with the right equipment, can do safely.

Did you know what kind of surface you are going to paint? You just cannot put new paint over old paint, if the types are not compatible. Woe to you to not get it right, and then having to strip and repaint a second time. A house painting contractor will have this all figured out.

Did you know that differing types of surfaces and materials require different preparations? For example, a wood surface to be stained requires a different treatment from one that will be painted. A house painting contractor will take all of this in stride. Masonry is another subject and it will be covered in a future article.

Did you know that the quality of the brushes and rollers can make an enormous difference in the quality of your painting job? Any house painting contractor with a good reputation, will not be a “Cheap Charlie,” going for the low quality tools because her or she will know that the quality of the job and their reputation is on the line.

So don't go cheap.  And don't do it yourself.  Instead find a local painter.
