Why Hire a Professional Painter?

So, you’re planning on doing a bit of home improvement and you’re trying to figure out how you’ll go about the painting. Essentially, you’ve got four options:

  1. Do It Yourself
  2. Hire a Professional Painting Contractor
  3. Hire a ‘Not So Professional’ Contractor (see 10 Tips for Hiring a Professional Painting Contractor)
  4. Call on the Help of Experienced Tradie Friends

To make things simpler, let’s eliminate options 3 and 4 right away.

Option 3: Hire a ‘Not So Professional’ Contractor

If you are going to spend good money to get a good result, don’t waste it on the wrong choice! Only a professional painting contractor will have the experience and skills necessary to give you a perfect paint job. Please read our 10 Tips for Hiring a Professional Painting Contractor for further details.

Option 4: Call on the Help of Experienced Tradie Friends

You may have friends who have some construction or painting experience and think that asking them to help you out on the weekend in return for a slab or two is a good idea. Do you want to keep that friendship? Things always get complicated when friends, favours, and money are involved. One party or another almost always feels cheated or put upon. It’s not worth losing your friend over a paint job.

So…Do It Yourself or Hire a Professional Painting Contractor?

Why Do It Yourself?

  • You can save money by not paying someone else
  • You have the skill to get the end product you want
  • You have the skill to properly prepare the surfaces and do the repairs needed to ensure a long lasting result
  • You have plenty of time to work on the project
  • You would rather work on the home improvement project than do other things with your free time
  • You really love doing home improvement projects
  • Your spouse will absolutely love the result you achieve!

Why Hire a Professional Painting Contractor?

  • The cost investment is a good value for what you receive
  • You get the quality finish and look that you want
  • You get proper preparation and application so that the result lasts for many years
  • You add value and protection to your home - your largest investment
  • You get peace of mind that a professional will take care to handle the project properly and safely
  • Your project is completely in a much shorter time than it would take you to do it yourself, thereby creating less disruption in your environment
  • Your contractor will deal with all the clean up and hazardous waste disposal
  • You have time to enjoy your family and friends in your free time
  • Your spouse will absolutely love the result!

What’s Your Choice?

Painting a house is a surprisingly time consuming project and if you have a full time job you can bet on the fact that it will suck up a fair few of your weekends. A professional team knows how to get the job done far quicker and how to ensure that the paint job will stand the test of time. You may have to pay a little extra if you go through a professional contractor, but you can’t put a price on that special time you get with your family on the weekend. As handy as you may be, you’ll never be able to achieve the quality that a professional painter can.

You’ll be surprised by a Timeframe Group quote and the best part is, we can purchase all the materials at a far cheaper price due to our relationships with suppliers. So, before you decide its going to be too expensive, give us a call and get a professional, dedicated team to deliver your dream paint job.
