Benefits of Hiring Painted - The Best Interior Painting Company in Enid, Oklahoma (we aren’t biased at all..)

Experience and Expertise

Painted brings experience and expertise to the job. We have a deep understanding of paint types, application techniques, and color matching, which ensures the end result is a beautiful, cohesive look. We pay close attention to detail, making sure to cover every nook and cranny, and ensuring a smooth and even finish.

Professional Equipment and Materials

Professional painters use high-quality brushes, rollers, and other tools, as well as high-tech airless sprayers in appropriate occasions. At Painted, we also use high-quality paint and primer from Sherwin-Williams. The combination of these tools and materials make it easier to apply the paint evenly and quickly, resulting in a better-looking job with fewer mistakes.

Time-saving

Hiring a professional means you don't have to take time off work or spend your weekends painting. We can complete the job much quicker than you could on your own, allowing you to enjoy your freshly painted home without sacrificing your free time.

High-quality Results

Professional painters provide consistent color, even application, and clean lines, which is something that's difficult to achieve with a DIY project. We avoid drips, splatters, and uneven coverage, resulting in a professional-looking job that you can be proud of.

Warranty and Insurance

A good company that calls themselves professional painters offer warranties on their work, and they are insured for any accidents or damages during the job. This peace of mind is something that's not possible with a DIY project. If something goes wrong, you can rest assured that the professional will fix it for you. This is why Painted offers a 3 year warranty and is fully insured, for peace of mind for all our customers.

Cost of DIY

Initial Costs

The up-front costs for a DIY paint project includes paint, brushes, rollers, tape, plastic, and any other tools required for the job. Paint can cost anywhere from $20-85 per gallon, depending on the quality. If you don’t already have the tools and equipment needed for the job, those costs can add up quickly.

Hidden Costs

The time and labor required for a DIY project are often underestimated. If you're not careful, you could spend several hours painting, and if you value your time, that cost can add up. To paint just the walls of a 1500 square foot home as a DIY-er, it would likely take you a whole week or more. Additionally, mistakes can be costly, and you may need to repaint or touch-up areas that weren't done correctly.

Comparison of Hiring a Professional vs. DIY

When comparing the cost of hiring a professional to a DIY project, it's important to consider both the initial costs and the hidden costs. Hiring Painted for your interior painting job in Enid, Oklahoma will only cost you an average of $3000(This price is average for a standard, walls only, 1500 square foot home. The price varies depending on condition and if you add trim and ceiling). A DIY project could cost anywhere from $300-1000 out of pocket depending on the quality of paint you buy and the tools/equipment you already have. While the initial cost may be more with a professional, the time you'll save and peace of mind is priceless.

In conclusion, hiring Painted as your professional painter has many advantages including our experience and expertise, use of professional equipment, time-saving, high-quality results, and insurance coverage. The investment may be higher initially, but the benefits outweigh the potential hidden costs and time spent on a DIY project. Choose Painted as your Interior Painting Company to ensure a beautiful, cohesive look and peace of mind for your next painting project.
