Your first thought when it comes to an exterior painting project is likely this: you're going to do the project yourself. After bribing a few other helping hands to assist you, you're going to save lots of money on this project, right? Actually, when you hire an exterior painter to do the work for you, you come out ahead in more ways than one.

If you think a painting project is best done as a DIY effort, especially when you're painting something major like the outside of your property, guess again. It's best to hire a pro, and get this — you might actually save you money in doing so. How? Learn here.

You don't have to take time off work

Paint is a fickle thing, and even exterior paint can only be used during a certain temperature and not under too much humidity. This means you have to wait until the right days or times of day to complete your exterior painting project. If you're waiting for sunny, less humid days to paint, then you're going to have to take some time off work to complete your project or just hope for some warm weather on your days off.

Every hour you're not at work but painting instead is money lost out of your pocket; not only are you paying for the paint and the supplies to do the project but you're missing out on work. So your painting project can quickly cost you more than you bargained for. Hire an exterior painter instead so they can paint your home while you're at work, and if you happen to be home, you can spend the time finishing other home projects.

You don't have to buy any painting supplies

From a ladder to protective cloths and plastics to actual paints and brushes, your costs for doing your exterior painting on your own are going to add up. When you hire an exterior painter, your costs for the supplies are included in their bid. You don't have to worry about buying the right paints and supplies and about where you're going to store anything. Your exterior painter simply goes to work efficiently and diligently to give you the results you desire in your painting project.

Your exterior painter will give you a bid for the work before they begin. Compare their costs to what you'd pay friends and family, what you'd miss out on with work, and what you'd spend on painting supplies and paint, and you'll see hiring a pro can actually have you come out ahead in many ways.
