Why You Should Hire a Professional Painter?

by Kevin Smith Author

Spring is the time when many homeowners get the urge to freshen up the inside of their homes by updating the walls with new paint. Before you rush out and invest in drop cloths and brushes, take a few minutes to find out why it’s better to hire a company with expertise in interior painting in Alpharetta.

Painting Preparation Is Tedious

It’s easy to get excited about the final result but difficult to take time to prep. Prepping includes cleaning the walls to remove grime and any sticky residue. You’ll also patch any nail holes and other defects in drywall or plaster. Masking walls, moving furniture, and setting down drop cloths are all part of prep as well. Professional painters usually learn many techniques to prep a room for painting. They are typically more efficient at it than a person who only paints once in a while.

Professionals Know Their Products

Since they work with a variety of paint products every day, professional painters know what type of paint works best on each surface in your home. They know it’s better to use a semi-gloss or satin paint on walls that need frequent cleaning, like the kitchen and bathroom. If your project includes painting cabinets, or the front door, your professional painter will make sure you get the proper finish. It’s easy to shop at a big box store for paint, but it’s also easy to come home with the wrong products.

They Bring Their Own Tools

An interior paint project requires a list of tools that most homeowners don’t keep on hand. A professional painting company owns everything needed to complete the job. They will bring ladders, drop cloths, scrapers, sanding tools, painter’s tape, and materials to patch any holes in the walls. Buckets, brushes, and rollers are also part of their repertoire.  You don’t need to make extra trips to a home improvement store to get items you missed on the first run. They bring the tools. They take them home at the end of the job.

Professionals Are Surface Pros

Did you know that baseboards and trim may need to be stripped and/or sanded before a fresh coat of pain is applied? Your professional painter will know that and much more about preparing the surfaces to be painted. If your home has an outdated popcorn texture on the ceiling, the painter knows how to remove it quickly. Maybe you’ve decided to cover some of the original wood baseboards and trim. Sanding is a messy and dusty job. To the professional, it’s all part of a day’s work.

They Clean up the Mess

Painters not only prepare the rooms they paint, they clean up the mess at the end of the day. Even if the job isn’t complete in one day, the company you hire for interior painting in Alpharetta will make sure their work area is tidy. If you do the work yourself, you’ll have the fun of cleaning brushes, rollers, and paint trays. The professionals do that and more. If they spill paint, they clean it up! If they make mistakes, they clean those up too. You can’t go wrong by hiring professional painters to help you start the spring season with a fresh coat of color in your home.
