Why Should I Hire a Professional Painter?

If you are like a lot of homeowners, you’re probably thinking why don’t I just tackle that painting project myself? How hard can it really be? Well… some handy DIYers may be able to pull off a passable interior painting job, however the majority end up underestimating both the difficulty and time commitment it actually takes. In fact according to a survey by the Star Tribune, over two-thirds of DIYers say they regret taking on one or more home improvement projects, and one-third ended up calling a professional to finish the job. The number one DIY project on the list of homeowners regrets? You guessed it — painting!

So what makes the professionals so much more efficient and precise than a weekend warrior with a paintbrush? It comes down to two things, experience and equipment.

At Ladder Co Painting each our three owners have 10+ years of interior and house painting experience. On top of that, every employee we hire on our team comes with their own prior experience and goes through our onboarding training program to ensure they are able to meet the high standards we pride ourselves on. This experience helps us to complete jobs at a fraction of the time while bringing the customer a finished product they are proud to show off.

The sheer volume of equipment required to complete an interior painting job comes as a surprising to most homeowners. In fact, it's much more than just a brush and a few cans of paint. If you are planning on painting your own home don’t forget to stop by Home Depot first to pick up your brushes, rollers, poles, buckets, caulk, patching supplies, ladders, and tarps. All of these unplanned costs add up quick and can have you exceeding your budget before you even buy that first can of paint! When you hire professionals we bring all of our own tools and equipment so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Not to mention as professionals, we get discounts on the paint itself and can pass that savings on to the customer!

So the next time you’re deciding between giving up your nights and weekends or hiring a professional, save yourself the headache and give us a call! We would love to come check out any and all projects in the Triangle area.
