5 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Professional Painter

As the years pass in your house, the long ago painted walls have probably accumulated stains, dents, and scratches-- and the paint color (or wallpaper) has been out of style for years. New trends have come along and you’re ready to get back with the times and clean up your walls but it’s been a while since you’ve painted. Would it be better to hire out or attempt it yourself? Here are five reasons why hiring a professional painter is the way to go!

It’s quick!

Painting one room can be a task that ties you up for multiple days at a time and consumes all of your thoughts. Ease your mind and back by having a painting company do it instead. They can handle painting projects efficiently and safely so they can knock out rooms while you are free to focus on your more important daily activities. 

A contractor will also get the paint job done much quicker. What may have taken you a week or two to paint on your own, a professional can do in just one day!

Stress-free!

We have seen many unnecessary conflicts come from the stress that house painting can cause. Sometimes these jobs can take a bad turn that you may not be ready to handle such as major paint spills.

A professional takes many preliminary steps to minimize any accidents and knows which products to use to make the job as easy as possible.

Keep the house clean!

All too many times we have seen beautiful trim and hardwood speckled and splashed with paint because a previous homeowner did the job quickly and cheaply. It is imperative to prep the room for possible slip-ups and to do a thorough cleaning once the job is complete.

Keeping the rest of your house safe from paint is one of a professionals highest priorities which is accomplished with dutiful prep work and a steady hand.

Experienced!

Professional painting contractors have the experience necessary to handle all jobs and any unexpected issues that can occur. More often than not, the walls will need a step above just a coat of paint.

It takes a pro to know which products to use when painting a home. A contractor knows which primer to use on specific stains, what to do if the paint dries incorrectly and cracks, how to approach lead paint, what a wall will need for a smooth finish undisturbed by clumps, the types of paints that will work best and countless other scenarios that they have dealt with over years of working.

No heavy lifting!

You can save yourself the backbreaking effort of moving your heavy cabinets, china cabinets, and furniture by hiring your job out to a contractor who will always come prepared to move any heavy objects in the safest manner possible to protect hardwood floors from scratching and glass objects from breaking.

The Ameri-Pro Painting crew always comes equipped with scratch-free sliders and drop cloths and expects to have to move bulky furniture before the job begins.

A professional painter will help you to get the job done right so that you are happy with the color choices you made and satisfied with the work done. 

In a recent survey two-thirds of homeowners said they regretted one of their last DIY projects, one-third called in a professional afterward to fix their mistakes, and over half said the project was harder and more difficult than they expected with interior painting projects being number one on the list of these DIY projects gone wrong. 

Don’t be another statistic and call a professional painting contractor like Ameri-Pro Painting. And if you want to take the credit for painting your home in front of your family and friends, don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone.
