Time

Depending on how much of the house you want to be painted, your project could be done in a single day or could end up taking quite a few days.

Professional painting contractors will have insurance to cover any accidents. If they accidentally break something in the house or on the property, their insurance will pay to have it repaired or replaced. In addition, getting up on ladders or scaffolding to paint high areas can be dangerous. Their insurance will also pay for any medical expenses incurred.

Cleaning

No matter how careful a painter is, there are bound to be some spills or speckles of paint where you do not want them. You need to able to stop painting and take care of these immediately or it will be a much harder job to get it all cleaned up. Professionals have special tricks to getting any paint splatters and spills cleaned up. In addition, they will make sure that the area is as neat and clean as it was when they started the job.

Touch Ups

After the initial painting is done, you are bound to find small areas that need to be touched up.
