You are standing in your front yard looking at the exterior of your home and trying to figure out how you are going to get it painted. Do you hire a painting contractor? Do you get the ladder out of the garage, dig out an old paintbrush and get to work? As an experienced exterior repaint contractor, I have seen just about every problem (and solution) that can happen with an exterior painting project. If you have a home in or around Lenexa, KS, consider the following reasons to hire out the work instead of trying to tackle the project yourself:
1. Safety: Take a look at the picture above of Greg, owner of Absolute Painting,working a difficult to reach spot on the house. This ladder set required specific and equipment to allow us to safely paint this roof section. I have driven by lots of houses that have new paint on the low spots and every spot above the roof is faded and peeling. This alone makes it worth hiring a professional exterior painter.
2. Right Products and Tools: There are tons of options to choose from when you purchase paint for your home’s exterior. In many of the big box home improvement stores, the staff are not well educated about what kind of paint is right for your project. For example, if you are painting a house with a darker color that will receive a lot of sun exposure, you need to select a product with a high amount of resin to protect from UV degradation (a fancy phrase for “faded paint”). A professional painting contractor has the knowledge and experience to help you choose the best product for your project.
Additionally, using the right tools can have a major impact on the finished quality of the job. As the paint industry changes and adapts to a lower availability of the basic raw materials that make up paint, the products themselves change. Because the products are made differently now than they used to be, different tools, rollers and brushes are now used to provide a superior finish. For instance, using the incorrect roller cover and wrong nap size can greatly reduce the quality of the finished appearance of paint.
3. Peace of Mind: At Absolute Painting, we spend a lot of time with the customer from the first estimate appointment all the way to the final walkthrough of the project. Clear and consistent communication with your contractor is essential, as you will more than likely have questions and concerns that will need to be addressed before, during, and even sometimes after the project. Having a trusted painting contractor complete the exterior painting on your home will give you peace of mind about the quality and longevity of your new paint.
