Are you considering a company offering a one day house painting job? As I’m sure you know by now, the cost to paint a house can put a crunch on your budget. Interior and exterior house painting are often large investments of your time as well as your money. Fort Collins is certainly no exception. Even if your budget allows for the work to be done, maybe you don’t have the time to manage a bunch of contractors. This is why some of the larger Fort Collins painting companies are starting to offer “One Day House Painting”. The idea being that they throw a large number of workers at your job all at once. This allows for completing the project in a day. We can understand that sometimes a homeowner may have no choice. Generally, we think this is a bad idea.
Here’s a few reasons why:
- Paint, exterior house paint especially, needs time to cure. Even the top lines from Sherwin Williams need several hours between coats to allow for proper re-coat adhesion. Trying to push this time can greatly shorten the lifespan of the finished product.
- Having a little time here and there to inspect the work as it is being completed can be very beneficial. It can give you time to really understand what is being completed to your specifications. Or what is not…
- Hurry up, one day house painting jobs, even with the best of contractors, often miss important details. That may not show up until down the road.
- Racing through a project with a one day deadline can be an excellent way to cause an accident. No one wants that. Safety should always be of the highest priority.
- Spending a little time getting to know your contractor will allow you to gain a better rapport. This will help immensely with communication, respect and understanding. Additionally, it will give you the best possible outcome for your property.
