When you have a painting project to be completed, you want to ensure it is done properly so you achieve a finish that looks great and lasts. So is it worth getting a professional painter? Or can you do it yourself? Below is information that can help you determine ‘should I get a painter or paint myself?’ along with what the benefits of a professional painting service are. Haymes Paint was founded in Australia by the Haymes family almost 90 years ago. 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 you need some painting done, here is when it is better to paint yourself or hire someone.

When Should I Get A Painter Or Paint Myself?

Whilst some jobs you can do on your own, others may require some professional help. Sometimes, a job may be complicated in terms of surface preparation, or, if there is fine detail, a professional painter will ensure the paint is applied properly and doesn't cause damage. The last thing you want is for your project to look worse than when you started. Other times a professional painter would be recommended include: 

1. When you have high ceilings
2. You're using a specialty finish
3. Your walls are in poor condition or you need to strip old paint

Another thing to consider when deciding if it is better to paint yourself or hire someone is that often, a paint job can take you much longer than it would a professional painter. If you need a paint job done quickly or you just can't afford to invest a significant amount of time on the project, it may make more sense to get a professional who can get the job done fast, without compromising on the finish. 

What Are The Benefits Of A Professional Painting Service? 

Benefits of a professional painting service include: 

• Having the experts who ensure the right products are used for the job 
• Safety isn't compromised
• Professionals know how to apply paint in a way that maximises the paint and minimises wastage
• Professionals will ensure the surface is prepped properly before painting which will ensure a better-looking finish that lasts longer 
• Professionals already have all the gear they need to get the job done properly 
• Professionals have the skills and experience to produce a finish that looks great. 

At the end of the day, you should consider whether you have the time and capability to complete a painting project yourself. If you are unsure about the preparation required for painting, the physical effort required, or which painting projects to use, perhaps you should consider hiring a professional painter.
