Painting a home is a big job. If you have an entire home or even a few rooms to paint, it is often much easier to hire professional painters than it is to do the work yourself. The results also tend to be better when the painting is done by a pro. However, if this will be the first time you hire painters, there are a few things that are important to know about the process.
It's a good idea to get multiple quotes.
If you were having your home sided or your roof replaced, you would get more than one quote. The same is true when having a house painted. Different painters may charge quite different rates if their offices are located a different distance from your home, or if they use different brands of paint at different price points. By getting multiple quotes, you can be sure to hire a company that fits your budget and your needs.
You may need to clear out the rooms first.
Some painters will move items out of rooms for an extra fee. Others simply require that you move anything you don't want to risk having paint dripped on. They'll put down drop cloths and do their best to protect all of your items, but they will need things moved away from the walls, and you won't want to leave anything too valuable in the space. If your painters do not tell you they can move items, assume that they won't and move those items yourself.
They'll work faster than you'd think.
It might take you two days to paint a room, but it will take a painter far less time. They are experienced and efficient. They know how to hold and move the brush to spread the paint accurately and quickly. Especially if they come with a team, prepare to be shocked by how quickly they finish your home.
You may be asked to check over the work.
When your painters are done working, they will often have you go through the rooms, inspect the work, and point out any uneven spots or areas you are not happy with. Then, they will touch up the areas you point out. The reason they don't do this quality assurance themselves is that after working on a wall, they sometimes become blind to any errors. You're more likely to spot them.
Hiring professional painters is the perfect way to get good results. Enjoy!
