Painting - DIY or Hire a Painting Contractor?
Here's a tough decision:You've got several room, or the exterior of your house, to paint...
Do you do it yourself? Or pay a painting service to do it for you?
Everyone is convinced they can paint a wall or paint some siding. Painting is not very difficult for a handy person who is able to move around easily and has all the right tools.
The question about whether to paint those walls yourself comes down to time and money.
Time:
- Do you have enough time to devote to the preparation, the actual painting, and the cleanup?
- Do you have enough time to shop for the paint and the painting supplies needed to complete the task?
- Do you have the time to fix any problems that arise from mistakes that are made when you paint?
Money:
- Do you have the money to pay a professional?
- Do you have the money to buy all the supplies for painting - if you don't already have them - such as ladders, drop cloths, brushes, tape, etc.?
- Do you have the funds available to pay for any mistakes you make while painting it yourself?
