Find the right painter for a successful painting experience!

Saving time and peace of mind can be worth the cost of hiring a professional, even if you prefer to "do it yourself." Remember that each project situation is unique and has its own challenges. You can open Pandora's Box when trying to solve a situation, another major problem is hiding behind the original. This would only increase your time on the project.

So start by asking yourself, should I dive into a "do it yourself" project or do I need a professional?

Each project has criteria: time, skill, budget and knowledge to hire the right painter. There are different types of painters.

A house painter can be a craftsman, mechanic or worker: responsible for painting a house or a surface.

Decorative painter also known as an artist, faux finisher, decorators, custom house painter, and generally does more custom work.

Do you need a painter or contractor with what skills?

Painters Skill level: master painter, officer, apprentice and practical man.

Professional painters must have a thorough knowledge of the tools in the trade, regardless of skill level. This knowledge includes safety, ladders, scaffolding, paint roller type, brushes, sprayers, sandpaper grit, and power tools to get the job done.

Thought and preparation should be considered before simply applying paint. For example, drop cloth, tapping, wallpaper removal, repair techniques, dimensions of rolls or brushes that are of different sizes or types of brushes and rolls for different finishes; water-based VS solvent-based, types of materials, amount of paint, number of layers of paint, amount of primer, types of primer and gloss finish. The ability to brush the contour of the ceiling, make siding, doors, windows, trim, baseboards and other trim work smoothly, and nail hole filling techniques, just to name a few.

Do not assume that a painter or contractor can perform all the tasks or have the necessary skills to complete the desired result; without asking, do you have manpower and experience in all tasks? Get references by following up and visiting past work. Some painters or contractors are unable to spray, color match and perform certain repairs, stain wood, false finishes, or perform special jobs.

Painting Contractor: Person or entity that is able to quote, organize and perform a task for him / her or has qualified mechanics who work as employees or subcontractors. They enter into a contract agreement directly with the owner to do the repair and painting.

Larger contractors can generally perform many painting, repair, and decorating services. They may have several skilled or untrained craftsmen to perform certain tasks. Proper use of workers, apprentices for cleaning, prep, and help with painting can save you money. Some jobs may require the following: a sanding machine, drywall repair, carpenter, caulking, master or master painter, removing wallpaper, hanging wallpaper, or a faux finish.

Business activities: The contractor or painter is primarily responsible for safety, arranging the installation of work, protecting surfaces from spray paint, preparing the surface to be painted, such as repairing nail holes, repairing plaster, plaster, closing and apply the paint. The last of the items may include cleaning, proper identification of paint cans, and proper disposal of all hazardous material.
