Unfortunately, because of the nature of house painting industry, almost anyone can call himself a professional home painter. In fact, that is the main reason why New Jersey house painters have such a bad reputation among homeowners, and no wonder.

After all, what good can be expected from a guy who has no trade training or experience, no proper tools or equipment, no knowledge of products and materials, no capital to complete the project right and on time, and pretty often, no integrity?

they produce a sub-par work and waste your time and money. Some may not even finish the work at all and just disappear with your down payment. And since most of them are uninsured, things can turn pretty ugly if your property gets damaged or one of the workers falls from a ladder and gets injured.

there are only 2 reasons why homeowners get hurt by bad contractors:

1. when a homeowner doesn’t know what to look for in a NJ painting contractor (that can be easily fixed - see the articles below)

2. when a homeowner doesn’t care about anything but price (this one is usually hopeless)

The primary purpose of paint is to beautify the house and even raise its value, but the truth is, it can do its job only in the hands of a professional New Jersey painter, and quite the opposite happens when it gets in the hands of an amateur.

We shudder to think of all the disasters we had to correct as a result of a homeowner who underestimated the difficulty of the job

Here are just a few that come to mind:

• water based paint applied over oil based paint
  (which always results in peeling and blistering)
• painting over bare wood
  (such a job lasts only a couple of months at best)
• painting over stains and water leaks
  (they reappear within days)
• not using special primer when applying dark colors
  (even after 7 coats the paint job still looks blotchy and messy)

  

• using the wrong type
  (not all caulks can be painted over)
• not removing old failing paint properly
  (the new paint falls off with the old one)
• … and many, many more!

But when homeowners then try to correct the problem, it gets even worse, because with each additional coat of paint the damage accumulates and eventually gets to the point where surfaces cannot be repaired and must be replaced.

It’s impossible to do a long lasting, quality NJ painting job without specialized tools and equipment, right materials and proper skills that come from years of experience. And most of the time, homeowners have none of those.

So instead of saving some money by doing their New Jersey painting projects themselves, homeowners unknowingly damage their property and contribute to its aging and decreased value. And what’s ironic is that they still end up hiring a professional NJ painting contractor, only this time they have to pay several times as much just to correct the condition they caused themselves.

Many people say they believe in the philosophy: “Do what you do best and leave the rest to professionals”. We just wonder why, then, they act as if house painting is an exception to the rule…?
