DIY Painting... Is it worth your time?

Painting is often a project that homeowners will tackle on their own, so why hire a professional? One main reason is time, or the lack thereof. Many of us work long hours and look forward to our free time on the weekends to attend our kids’ sporting events, enjoy time with family and friends, or simply by relaxing with a good book.

A painting project that would take Delicate Cover Up a day or two to complete may take up three or four of your precious weekends. Next, think of the cost of materials. Have you considered the cost of quality brushes, rollers and drop cloths? The list goes on and on.

Are you prepared to caulk, sand, repair and cover your work area all before picking up a paintbrush? It all goes back to time. The most important part is the outcome. When you’re finished, will it look like you did it yourself?

After all of your effort, lost time and money spent, are your edges crisp? Did you get wall paint on the ceiling? Do you see roller marks? Does it need one more coat? Then, let’s not forget about clean up.

Consider how it would feel if you’d enjoyed your time and come back to a perfectly painted home.
