Some DIY projects can be great if you’re wanting to save a bit of money or enjoy doing work on your home yourself… but, if your home is looking a bit tired and needs a paint refresh, is it really worth painting your home by yourself? Below is information on what to consider when deciding if you should paint the interior of your house yourself, or the exterior.For almost 90 years the Haymes family has been supplying Australians with high-quality paint. Each Haymes generation has taken care to hand on the commitment and passion for crafting quality products for the next generation. We offer a wide range of paints including interior & exterior paints, an artisan collection and paints for textured & timber finishes. If your house needs paint and you’re wondering ‘should I paint the interior of my house myself?’ here is some useful info to help you decide if it is worth painting your home by yourself or better to get the professionals in to do the job: 

Should I Paint The Interior Of My House Myself Or Get Professionals In? 

Before you decide if it is worth painting your home by yourself  here are some things to consider: 

• What preparation is required and how complicated is it? (preparing the surface is key and you want to make sure this is done properly - sometimes stripping and sanding may need to be done and this can be a laborious task with certain tools/equipment required to get it done) 
• What is the right product to use? The last thing you want is to use paint you’ve just purchased that turns out not to be suitable for the surface you’re painting on. 
• How much will it cost to have everything I need? (be sure to include any prep & cleaning products and all the tools & equipment you’ll need to get the job done properly & safely - especially if they are high-up areas that may require scaffolding)
• How long will it take? (you don't want to rush a paint job so you need to consider whether you have the time to do the job) 
• How much effort is required? (sometimes, especially if you’ve got high-up areas to paint it can be a mammoth task to get the job done, and done well)
• Do you have the skills to achieve a finish you’ll be happy with?

So, as you can see there are a few things to think about when determining is it worth painting your home by yourself. There is a time and place for DIY painting projects, but sometimes, when you weigh up all the considerations it may be better, in the long run, to get the professionals in.
