Hiring a professional local painter is smart on multiple levels, as this article will go over in depth.
- Hire a Local Painter to Paint High Places
Local Painters Pump Money Into Your Economy
There is a very good reason to buy local whenever you can. More money stays in your local economy. Companies that are multi-state or multi-national only keep a small amount of money in their local communities. The rest of it goes to the corporate headquarters either in another state, or even another country. However, if you hire a local painter, he will have roots in the community. Maybe his kids play soccer at the local field, or he eats at the local pizza place. The more a local economy is stimulated, the more it grows. A local painter may be one of your neighbors, or even one of your friends or family.
Another reason to hire a local painter? They are much more familiar with the codes of your area. If you live in a housing development with an HOA, they will more than likely tell you that you have to paint your home every four or five years to be in compliance with the rules of the HOA. However, most HOAs require only a handful of paint colors. An out of state or non-professional painting contractor might not be aware of this. A simple mistake in the choice of paint colors, and voila. You get a fine from your HOA and have to pay it as well as having to paint your home all over again. Another reason to hire a local painter is the very real danger of injury.
Local Painters Know How To Stay Safe and Keep You Safe Too
A professional house painter is going to have liability insurance. That doesn't sound like much, however, consider if you will. Let's say you decide that you want to paint your home on your own. You've seen every television show that Bob Vila and Mike Holmes have produced, and read a couple of books. You're all ready to paint, and within 10 minutes of starting, you fall from the ladder, straight through the skylight of your cranky next door neighbor. So, not only are you injured, you're also going to get a lawsuit too. Hiring a local painter could have stopped both of these events. They have safety equipment and experience. No amount of do it yourself television or books can give you that. In the unlikely event that something went wrong with the paint job, the local painter's insurance would handle it.
So, let's recap. They keep money in the community. They know their paint and know how to keep you safe. All very good reasons to hire a local painter.
