DIY vs Hire a Pro: What’s the Best Way to Paint Your Home This Spring?

Thinking about a fresh coat of paint this spring? You’re not alone - and the first big question is always: should you DIY, or hire a professional? Let’s break it down.

When DIY Makes Sense (Hint: Most of the Time)

If you’re repainting a bedroom, adding a feature wall, freshening up trims, or reviving tired spaces indoors, DIY is absolutely doable - and rewarding. You stay in control of your colour choices, your timeline, and your budget.

With a little prep and the right products, you’ll be surprised how professional your finish can look.

Quick DIY tips to start strong:

• Use sample pots on different walls - colours shift in changing light.
  
• Edge first, roll second - it helps blend brush and roller textures seamlessly.
  
  

At PaintRight, we’ll walk you through everything from which Haymes Paint to use, to what tools will make your job easier and cleaner.

When to Consider a Pro

Some situations might need a steadier hand - like high ceilings, weather-worn exteriors, or water-damaged walls that need extra prep. If it’s a safety issue or you’re on a tight deadline, bringing in a pro can save time (and backache). Not sure? Ask us - we’ll steer you straight, and connect you with someone we trust if needed.
