Because of my lack of experience, I made only about $13 per hour. However, I paid attention to invoicing and other aspects of the business on my occasional contract jobs, so I could probably start a painting business myself if I wanted to. This leads us to our next advantage . . .

I agree heavily with your decision to buy the higher end brushes. Choosing the quality tools over the cheap ones, even despite the price, is definitely the right way to go when undergoing a DIY painting project. The difference it provides is day and night! In my opinion, the money used to buy the top tier equipment saves you from any extra stress or headaches that poor quality brushes or tape can cause, so in the end it really is a win! All in all, this is a very well written and informative article, thank you for sharing your experience! MACKAY PRO PAINTERS July 14, 2020
Thanks to easy-to-follow YouTube tutorials, DIY culture is thriving these days. Go ahead and put up that wall shelf, swap out your faucet, and paint the walls yourself—you’ll likely save a lot of money going the DIY route—but when it comes to painting the outside of your house, it’s best to hire pros. That’s because they can often get the best deals on paint (a cost savings), already have all the equipment required, and, well, they’re pros. Painting your house, especially if it’s a multistory house, is exacting, physically demanding, and sometimes dangerous work.
Next you have to coordinate access to certain areas including unlocking doors or entry access for a bit. Lastly, coordinating the work with your neighbors that share the stairwells and hallways of your building is always a great idea before the job begins.
If you can afford to self-fund your new painting business, then you can skip ahead to the next section. But if you need a little help in the financing department (which many people do), then you may want to consider taking out a small business loan to cover your startup costs. Buying supplies, purchasing insurance, paying for advertisements, and hiring staff can all get pricey. Don’t be afraid to look into your financing options to get the ball rolling.
We had a terrible experience with a previous local paint company so we decided to go with Kelly Brothers Painting for our next project. The first time we had Justo and his team they were amazing. They painted our house exterior. We were so happy we used them again to paint our commercial building. That was not an easy job but again Justo and his team came through. We have had so many compliments on both our home and our building. We called again for some interior paint work and Miguel was our foreman. Again I was very satisfied, so much so that we continued with more interior work. Each team that has come out has been superior. They pay close attention to details. It is so nice to do business with such a reputable company.
Three Brothers Painting Inc. is located in Woodstock, Georgia and provides interior and exterior house painting services in the Metro-Atlanta area. We believe in completing a quality job first and are not satisfied until the customer is 100% satisfied.
The next option was using oil based primer. That stuff is not fun to work with. The fumes are not fun to work around (be sure to open windows!), and you can’t wash it off without using more chemicals. Fortunately somebody suggested we try bleaching the stains, which sounded a bit more feasible and manageable. So we tried it. Dawning coveralls and face masks, and armed with a pump garden sprayer filled with diluted bleach (mostly water with a couple capfuls of bleach), we attacked the stains. After a couple spray downs, the yellow started to disappear! For a couple of days, we misted the ceiling, waited a couple hours and repeated. Most stains were taken care of, the rest were dissolved enough to prime over.
Higher ceilings result in larger wall spaces to paint that are harder to reach because of staggered step surfaces. This results in a wider cost range of anywhere from $490 to $940 to paint the walls in a home’s stairway area.

I hired three brothers to come out for three days to paint my entire condo top to bottom with new paint on the walls. Oscar gave me a professional estimate with a great bottom line price for the work. The crew worked FAST, were polite and careful with all my stuff. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations and I’m extremely happy with the work. My place looks BRAND NEW! Thanks Three Brothers!!
Don’t overlook humidity that isn’t related to the weather, either. Need to paint a bathroom? Avoid using the shower or tub too soon before or after you paint.

Ready to hire a professional? Your next step is to choose a painter. Avoid selecting a painter based on price alone. Be sure to confirm the project length, the number of workers on the job, if the painter is licensed and insured, and what prep and clean up work will be completed by the paint company.
They did an amazing job on my house. Tristan was very good at his job and was very professional and nice. I will definitely use them again and give my friends and family their number for any of their painting needs. Thank you very much.
