Contracting with a Professional

Before you decide to "do it yourself' or hire the least expensive painter you can find, here are some points to consider that suggest the lowest price may not be the best value.

Safety: Painting can be hazardous work, whether it's working on a ladder or dealing with solvents and dust. Hiring a professional contractor means you don't have to worry about these problems.

Health: If your home was built before 1978, it was almost certainly painted with lead-based paint. The older the home, the more lead content in the paint that was used. Old paint films containing lead can cause serious health effects when it is scraped or sanded in preparation for repainting. Professional contractors will take appropriate steps to protect you, your property and your neighbors. Beginning in 1999, All Painting Contractors and all Remodeling Contractors are required to furnish EPA produced pamphlets to their customers before they begin a job that involves disturbing lead-based paint. Professional painting contractors are knowledgable of these Federal laws an follow the EPA regulations and project recommendations of the PDCA.

Preparation: Getting the surface properly prepared makes all the difference.  Professional contractors know the value of preparation and do it right.

Knowing Paints and How to Apply Them: The choices today are more complicated than just oil or latex, and professional contractors will know what works, how to use it, and will have the right tools for the job.

Clean-up and Disposal: Hiring a professional contractor means you don't have to worry about dealing with paint residues and other leftovers. Professionals will know how to handle hazardous wastes that may be part of the job.
