Your home is more likely to sell with a fresh coat of paint, which is the very first thing buyers see.
• One room or the whole house? Applying one coat in one room is a reasonable DIY Saturday project (especially if you have help and beer). Multiply the time spent moving furniture, prepping walls and sanding old trim by the number of rooms in the house, and you might want to hire real help. It's the same outside. You can probably tackle one shady garage wall that needs a little scraping and sanding plus a coat of paint, but covering all surfaces of the house is usually best left to a pro.

But make sure you assess the full scope of the project (and get free quotes from painting professionals) before you take the leap.

MYMOVE™ FRESHOME™ SHOP DEALS Painting Guides 10 Things You Should Know Before Painting A Room By Shelley Little September 22, 2020 | 7 min read
If you already have painting equipment, then it can be easier to undertake the painting work yourself. However, if you are renting or purchasing them now, you might need to compare the cost of everything with the cost of hiring a professional company.
But I won't just tell you what to do, or how to do it - I will also explain why, so that you can actually learn to see and use paint and color like a pro.
The material of your home’s exterior dictates your overall house painting approach. This includes taking care of repairs and calculating the amount of paint needed. For example, does your aluminum siding have dents or excessive “chalking” (a powdery coating)? Is your vinyl siding buckling? How much paint will you need for porous surfaces such as brick or stucco? Understanding the potential challenges upfront will aid in your decision about who will do the painting work.
Because I used to be a teacher in the past life, I know how to make house painting simple.
Properly maintaining your home is extremely important. If you want to properly maintain the exterior of your home, don’t wait until you see paint flaking before you consider hiring a painting contractor.
Choosing ABC for your painting projects means you’ll have a professional in charge who’s following a proven process.
Choosing the right color for a room can be tricky because it impacts your entire interior aesthetic. No one wants to make a costly mistake and then have to live with it for the next couple of years. This is why many professional painting companies have an in-house paint color consultant on their team to help clients make the best color choices that are in line with their tastes, lifestyle, the purpose of the room, and lighting. They help you find the best look for every room based on its size and shape and the mood you are trying to invoke based on color psychology and color theory. This saves time and money on your painting project. While some companies offer free virtual color consultation for clients, others charge anywhere between $50 to $400 for this service.
