Professional Painters

Contrary to common belief, owning a paint brush and bucket of paint does not make one a painter. The successful application of paint to a structure comes only after much preparation. All scraping, sanding, wallpaper removal, caulking, drywall or wood repair, patching, stain removal, filling nail holes or any defects with plaster or putty, cleaning, taping, preparation and priming need to be done by the professional contracted painter.

Much needs to be considered before simply applying paint. For instance, taping and dropcloth techniques, sizes of brushes or rollers, material types or dimensions of rollers or brushes (there are different sizes or types of brushes and rollers for different paints), amount of paint, number of paint coats, amount of primer, types of primers and paints, certain grits and cuts of sandpaper, trim cutting (the act of painting with a brush on the outline of baseboard, moldings and other trim work), wallpaper removal, and nail-hole filling techniques just to name a few. Professional painters need to have keen knowledge of tools of the trade, including sanders, scrapers, paint sprayers, brushes, paint rollers, ladders and scaffolding, in addition to just the paint in order to correctly complete work.

A painter is a tradesman responsible for the painting and decorating of buildings for the purpose of making them look better or to protect them from damage by water, rust, corrosion, insects or mould. Without preparation and skill with many tools, the results are likely not to be rewarding.
