Internal house painting can make your space feel brand new again. A lovely new coat of paint is the perfect way to freshen up your home and is a good move if you’re revamping your interior design or simply want a change in scenery.
But, internal painting also requires thorough planning, preparation and execution. You’ll need to remove your furniture and decor, get the space ready, purchase supplies and – of course – paint your walls properly.
If you choose to hire professional painters, then the process can be more streamlined and easy for you. However, some homeowners may be intimidated by the costs associated with hiring professionals.
So, DIY or professional, which should you go with?
Internal house painting will drastically change the ambience of your home.
So, it’s vital to carefully think through your options before deciding.
Quality Of Work.
DIY: DIY projects may result in subpar walls due to a lack of skill and experience. Painting walls is a bit more complicated than most realise – incorrect techniques can cause streaks and paint bubbles. Not to mention, messy work can be a pain to deal with.
Professionals: Professional painters have the experience, equipment and training needed to paint walls in a fraction of the time it would take for the average person. Not only that, they’ll do so effectively, ensuring your walls are beautifully painted without frustrating mistakes. While some mess is inevitable, they’ll prepare your space and stay careful so they only paint what needs to be painted.
Time And Effort.
DIY: Think about the walls you want to paint, and then imagine painting all of them yourself – it would take quite a bit of time and effort. You’ll also need to be able to safely reach the tops of the walls so that you can paint the entire surface.
Professionals: Expert painters can deliver high-quality results efficiently without wasting time or cutting corners. They’ll take care of everything for you. Make sure you ask your painters how long they think your particular project will take before you hire them. Then, you can plan accordingly and let your family know what you should do while your home is being painted.
Cost-Effectiveness.
DIY: The biggest reason why many homeowners decide to handle their internal house painting projects themselves is money. Naturally, hiring professionals costs money. So, doing it yourself is a cost-effective option, right? In actuality, taking the DIY route may cost more money than it would to simply hire professionals. This is because you’ll need to purchase painting equipment, paint, safety gear and other supplies. There are often many things that people don’t even realise they’ll need to buy until they need them – you may need to get a step ladder or stool to reach the tops of your walls, tarps to protect your floor and so on. Making mistakes also means you’ll have to spend more time and effort fixing them.
Professionals: When you hire professionals, all you really need to do is pay them for their work. Their quality results will be more likely to last longer in comparison to amateur results as well. Before hiring your painters, make sure you thoroughly discuss their fees with them so you know how much you’ll have to pay.
Safety And Health.
DIY: Some homeowners don’t realise that internal house painting projects can be dangerous. While you wouldn’t need to get as high up as you would when painting the exterior of your home, working at heights indoors is still dangerous. Plus, paint fumes can be bothersome as well. Remember that one bad fall can cause serious injuries, so it’s best to avoid accidents through smart choices – like entrusting the work to experienced professionals.
Professionals: Qualified painters understand the inherent risks of working with paint, and they’ll come prepared physically and mentally. They’ll stay cautious while they work to keep themselves, their fellow painters and your home safe from injury. Then, you won’t have to stress about putting yourself or your family members in danger.
