So many homeowners decrease the value of their homes by doing botched DIY jobs. It is becoming a common occurrence to see homes looking not as ‘complete’ as they could. It’s a shame because when you consider the cost of hiring a professional to paint your home in contrast to having yourself do it; you are not only saving by paying someone to do it. You are actually helping to increase the value of your home, to save your back from hours of hard work and labour, and more importantly you are making your home safer by having the walls correctly primed and cared for!
I can paint myself. What is all the fuss about hiring a painting Dublin service?
You may think that you can paint; however, when you get around to doing the job, painting is a skilled art and much more is involved than just slapping on layers of paint. You need to make sure that the walls are correctly sanded, that you have put putty on them and then waited for the surface to dry to re sand it. You then need to put a base coat, and then the final colour. This is in itself very hard work. Sanding the walls can have your arms feeling like they have just endured days if not weeks of manual labour! Your muscles will ache for weeks after the process. Also, painting in Dublin is more complicated than you may think, particularly if you would like to have more than one colour because you need to make sure to tape the walls and be able to line up the paint correctly. The corners, tops of your walls and edges are very tricky to be able to cover with paint. If you do it incorrectly, then you will have to spend hours trying to touch up the paint where it spilled over on the edge. Or to clean up the paint when it spilled on your skirting boards or went over to the ceiling area.
Dublin Painting Is a Skilled Job
You also need to know the ins and outs of each and every tool and paint that’s on offer, for example; matt emulsion is for your walls- this will offer a finishing that is simple and does not have shine. If you want to have a shiny finish to the area, you will need to have silk emulsion. Silk emulsion can also be wiped down a little more than matt and is ideal for those that have kids or pets. Gloss paint is used for metal and wood- you do not want to be slapping this on your walls. Also, gloss is very hard to remove and work with. You will need turpentine (a chemical that removes gloss) it smells, is very unpleasant and of course if you can avoid this, do!
All in all, the best thing to do would save yourself the hassle of having to paint is get your painting in Dublin taken care of by a professional. When you do you will wonder what life used to be like before your home was looking spick and span!
