You look for painters coupons in the mail. Do professional painters send coupons?

You look online for painters and wonder. “Are the reviews from their mom, second cousin and great uncle Fred?”

You ask friends to recommend a good painter. You hear hair-raising stories. “It was a beautiful job until he left the door open.” The dog had an itch and rubbed his rear-end on the wet trim. Or “The color was perfect only she tipped the small tray container of paint.” The paint ran down her shoulder, down the left side of her pants and into her boot.

Then it overflowed her boot.

Okay, that last one with the paint in the boot…that was me. 😕

Do you have a room that needs painting? Have you thought about painting it yourself? I love to paint and hope to convince you that you can love it too.

Realize I’m not a professional paint, nor have I wanted to be. I have painted every room, garage, and closet including nooks and crannies of my last 4 homes. Plus rooms for clients. Wait did that make me a pro?

Anyhow…

I love paint.

Can we take a moment and admire that dollhouse? I want to design one for plants and decor.

An average size room takes 3 gallons of paint. At $25 a gallon and supplies, you’re looking at around $100. Painting a room is the cheapest way to add a dramatic change.

It’s only paint!

Hiring a professional painter can add $320 to $750 to your bill. Costs vary by location and season.

So, let’s think about doing the project yourself.
