Joel Petersen: Advantages of Hiring a Professional Painting Contractor
Joel Petersen, President of Petersen Painting, Inc., has provided contracted commercial and residential painting services for more than 20,000 homes in Utah throughout the company’s 12-year history.
Based on his years of experience, Joel Petersen gives the following reasons why hiring a contractor to paint provides many advantages over doing it yourself.
* Protects your health and safety: For untrained homeowners, painting involves potential health and safety hazards like climbing ladders and breathing potentially toxic fumes. Homes built or painted before 1978 also may have lead-based paint. Professional painting contractors have specific knowledge and training that allows them to create a safe, nontoxic environment that protects them and your home.
* Protects your investment: Painting is messy work, and many do-it-yourselfers discover they have accidentally dripped on carpeting or furniture and painted windowpanes or other fixtures in spite of diligent efforts to protect them. Professional painters take great care to protect your belongings, including incorporating careful preparation procedures to ensure the paint only goes where you want it.
* Saves time: Painters are good at what they do and they have many tools available to them that you might not. These skills and specialized tools allow painting contractors to create professional finishes throughout your home in a short time and save you from having to go out and buy tools you may only use once or twice.
* Professionalism: Painting contractors create beautifully finished homes. Whether you require careful painting of trim, faux finishes, or simple interior and exterior latex, a painting contractor’s work will give your paint job a professional polish.
* Hazardous materials: A painting contractor will clean up and dispose of all materials after completing your job. This means you do not have to make special arrangements for disposal of any hazardous materials, such as leftover paint, glaze, or solvents.
