It might seem paradoxical to state that hiring Aurora painters may save you money in the end. If you go the DIY route, you won"t need to pay for professional services. But you might end up with results that are less than desirable and end up dishing out more money to fix mistakes. This is the usual misstep that inexperienced homeowners make.
Depending on the scale of work, you will probably have to take a leave of absence from work for a couple of days or up to a week to paint the whole house. Don"t believe for a second that you save on labor costs by not hiring an expert in interior painting in Aurora, CO.
Indeed, resident and commercial painters are paid by the hour so you save money on that. However, you have to factor in the number of hours of work productivity lost while you are out applying a new coat to your home.
How much are your wages per hour as opposed to the labor cost per hour of the professional painters in Aurora?
Remember, you are starting from scratch whereas Aurora commercial painters already have all the necessary tools to get the job done in a professional manner.
In fact, the only thing you probably saved money is the labor cost, and even that is offset by the number of hours you miss at work.
Then there"s a bigger problem. Chances are, you are going to make a mistake because everything is trial and error at this point. The most common mistake of homeowners is not giving close attention to the prep work.
This is where all the hard work is. You have to clean all the surfaces and nooks and crannies of the house. Then fill all the cracks and holes with putty or filler. After which, you have to sand the walls or ceiling to ensure a smooth and even surface.
That"s when you start painting. But how many coats should you apply? Should you go for gloss paint or flat? How do you protect the sections of your house exposed to the elements?
If you did a half-decent job, the paint job will probably last a year without the need to call in an expert in residential and commercial painting in Aurora.
But then again, you would be saving more money if you call in a professional painter in Aurora the next time.
