Even the best house paint doesn’t last forever, as time goes by the constant exposure to rain, snow, sleet, sun and anything else that comes along slowly degrades the finish. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the hardest, painting a house at best rates a three or four, house painting is not technically demanding but, it can eat up a great deal of time, it can be very messy and extremely tiring for anyone who is not in great physical shape. Hiring exterior painting contractors is often a very viable alternative but you can certainly expect to pay more than if you were to attempt to do the job yourself; or is it?
Painting a free standing single car garage is not much of a problem, painting a two story four bedroom house may be a different story all-together. When a homeowner is deciding to either tackle the job alone or hire professional exterior painting contractors the size of the project is of primary concern. You cannot just slap new paint over dirt, dust and flaking old paint and expect a decent result, the surface must be carefully prepared, this means a lot of scraping and sanding has to be done first and it will not be easy nor will it be pleasant.
There are costs that many homeowners neglect to factor in when they are deciding how to go about painting their house. The actual exterior paint is not a problem; it is reasonably easy to determine how many gallons of primer and top coat are required, multiply the number of gallons by the price per gallon and you have that figured out. What about the tools? Rarely would a homeowner have all the tools that are required to really paint the outside of their home properly. To do the job right you need a sprayer, ladders, scaffolding and numerous tools and brushes. When you add everything up you may be surprised, hiring a professional crew may work out cheaper.
Money aside; professional exterior painting contractors bring a level of expertise with them that no homeowner has. Professionals not only prepare the surfaces properly, the replace any rotten wood, repair missing stucco, seal around the windows and doors and mask all the areas that are to remain paint free. They will complete the job far faster and the end result will be far better, there is little doubt that hiring external painting contractors is the right decision to make.
