Why Should I Hire a Painting Contractor?
A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and most effective ways to transform your space—whether you're brightening up a single room or giving your entire home a brand-new look. But before you break out the brushes and rollers, it's important to ask yourself: Should I DIY this, or hire a professional painting contractor?
At Chattanooga Paint & Decorating, we know how tempting it can be to tackle a painting project on your own. But there are several compelling reasons why hiring a professional painting contractor is a smart investment for your home or business.

1. Quality Work That Lasts
Professional painters bring years of experience to every project. They understand the proper prep work needed—like patching holes, sanding surfaces, taping edges, and priming walls—to ensure the paint adheres correctly and looks flawless. The result? A smooth, even, long-lasting finish that simply can’t be replicated with shortcuts.
Pro Tip: A professional contractor knows which type of paint and finish is best for each surface and room, from high-moisture bathrooms to high-traffic hallways.
2. Saves You Time and Stress
Painting may look easy, but it’s a time-consuming process that involves much more than just rolling on a coat of color. From moving furniture and covering floors to multiple coats and drying times, it can quickly become overwhelming. A professional painting contractor handles everything—so you don’t have to lift a finger or lose your weekends.
Bonus: They’ll also clean up afterward, leaving your space spotless and beautifully refreshed.

3. The Right Tools for the Job
Professional painters come equipped with all the right tools: high-quality brushes and rollers, sprayers, ladders, drop cloths, and more. They also have the expertise to use these tools efficiently and safely—especially for hard-to-reach areas, trim work, or textured surfaces.
Without the right equipment, a DIY job can lead to uneven finishes, drips, or paint where you don’t want it.
4. Professional Insight and Color Advice
Choosing the right color and finish can be daunting. Should you go with eggshell or satin? Is this gray too cool or too warm? A seasoned painting contractor can help guide you in selecting colors that suit your space, lighting, and personal style. At Chattanooga Paint & Decorating, we even offer in-store consultations and expert advice to make the process easier.
5. Licensed, Insured, and Reliable
Professional painters are licensed and insured, so you’re protected if something unexpected happens. They also work under contract, giving you a clear timeline, and budget.
