Why Should I Hire a Professional?

Are you ready repaint that room, or even do some major renovations?


A great way to save money is to turn it into a DIY Project.


Or is it?


Before you start, you’ll need to research which paint to use, buy all the right brushes, ladder, drop sheets and cleaning materials.


Then there's the constant scrutiny of your spouse or partner.


You'll need to consider how much is your time worth!


In the end, that amazing home magazine photo which inspired you, looks very little like your end result.

The difference is, the room in the picture was painted by professionals with an eye for detail, and the right tools.

That’s what makes the difference between a DIY finish and an amazing colour scheme.

When you hire a professional painter, the results they produce will nearly always be better than you can do yourself.

In the end your home will look better, and the job will be guaranteed.


When you want great results, it is always best to trust the professionals.

Here are three top reasons why you should resist doing your own painting and call a professional team.

  • Time
  • Preparation
  • Experience


Time

We all lead busy lives. If you have not painted before it can be a very time-consuming job. Being able to paint neatly and efficiently comes from experience. When you have a professional painting team do the job they come in as a team, not just one-person. A team of painters will achieve so much more in a working day than you ever will, including:

  • protecting furniture
  • preparing
  • sanding
  • cleaning
  • painting


A team of professional painters can finish an average size 3 bedroom home in around 5 days.


Preparation


Preparation is the most important factor to creating an amazing result.

Most people underestimate the time it takes to paint a home.

Whether you have decided to paint just one wall or take on a major transformation, investing the time into preparation is essential.

 

The condition of your walls will have a major impact on your preparation time.

It's very important to:

  • clean and wash the walls
  • fill any cracks and holes
  • sand and wipe the walls down
  • apply a primer

 

All this needs to be done before you paint, and it’s a lot of work.


As a one-man DIY job, it can be very time consuming. Frustration and lack of time can lead to a project that ends up being rushed or abandoned altogether.


Using a professional painting service like Painting Sydney ensures it is all done by experienced tradesmen who know exactly what to do.

Professional painters know how to protect your furniture and floor. They will ensure your belongings are protected from paint residue and dust. A great painting team knows that preparation is two thirds of the job and will prepare the area before painting to ensure an efficient and well-executed process.

Experience


Experience is earned!


A professional painting team knows the pitfalls and challenges of painting certain surfaces, they have extensive product knowledge and can instinctively match colours. It’s not only about the actual task of painting, but a combination of skills that come from years of experience, the right tools and knowledge.

Painting your home is a big decision and one that you want to know will last.

 

A professional painting company will provide the guidance of an expert you can trust to help you make decisions that will bring the colours of your imagination into your home.


They will help you transform your home into the dream you had, making the decision to hire a professional painting team the right call.
