Okay so, let me tell you, painting a house is NOT what you think. I honestly thought it would be “fun” and “relaxing” like those Pinterest boards make it look. LOL, no. I bought brushes, rollers, fancy tape like a pro, and two hours later I was covered in paint, the cat was giving me death stares, and my wall looked like a toddler had a meltdown.
That’s when I was like okay maybe I need the pros. Enter Colorado Painting Company. These guys are like wizards with paint. I swear they could probably paint a wall blindfolded and it would still look better than what I did in an entire weekend.
Why Paying Someone Isn’t Lazy
I get it, paying someone to paint sounds extra. But listen, painting is not just rolling color on walls. There’s prep, sanding, priming, taping, cleaning spills… it’s like 90% work you didn’t know existed.
Time-Saver: I spent a whole Saturday fixing tiny drips and spots I missed. Pros? They do it in hours.
Skill Matters: My walls ended up streaky and uneven. They know how to handle corners, weird textures, ceilings that slope slightly—stuff I didn’t even notice was a problem until I tried to paint it myself.
Tools & Materials: $10 brush from Home Depot? Nope. There’s a reason professionals use fancy stuff. Also, the type of paint matters. I learned that the hard way, my “neutral” color looked like neon salmon at 5pm.
Social Media Makes It Look Easy (Spoiler: It’s Not)
Scroll TikTok or Instagram and it’s full of satisfying painting hacks and perfect transformations. Looks fun right? Watching someone do it while eating cereal is mesmerizing. Actually doing it? Nightmare.
Hiring Colorado Painting Company is basically cheating but in the best way. Your walls get that TikTok-worthy glow, no effort required. And you can still scroll your feed feeling productive… kinda.
My “I Tried DIY and Failed Miserably” Story
I once thought “I got this” and bought a whole weekend for painting. Big mistake. Paint everywhere, walls uneven, edges looking like a kindergartener’s art project. I nearly cried at one point.
Then I called Colorado Painting Company. They came in, measured, prepped, painted, cleaned, basically turned my disaster into a showroom. And I just sat there drinking coffee, scrolling TikTok. It felt like cheating life in the best possible way.
Things You Need to Know Before Hiring
Not all painting companies are the same, trust me. Some are amazing, some… not so much. Here’s what I learned:
- Check reviews: Google, Yelp, Facebook. People are brutally honest online, which helps.
- Ask about prep: Some just paint, some fill holes, sand, prime. Prep = longer lasting paint.
- Color consultation: You might pick a color you love, but lighting can ruin it. Ask pros. I needed that advice.
- Timing matters: Winter, rainy season, etc. They can guide you so paint doesn’t crack or fade.
Fun Weird Facts About Painting
So apparently, the brush type affects paint longevity. And some paints have mildew resistance. Who knew? Not me, until I called the pros.
Also, a little tip that’s often skipped on social media: test colors on small patches first. Store lighting vs. home lighting is totally different. That neon salmon disaster of mine could’ve been avoided.
Time and Stress You Actually Save
This is the part that hit me. Hiring pros = hours saved. I went from stressing every weekend to just picking the color and watching them transform my place.
Think of it like money management: you spend a bit to save a ton of time and stress. And mental relief? Priceless. I finally finished a book I’d been reading for 6 months, cooked an actual meal (not frozen pizza) and didn’t have paint on my face by accident.
Wrapping Up (Sort Of)
At the end of the day, hiring Colorado Painting Company isn’t lazy, it’s smart. Painting yourself can be fun if you like stress, mess, and neon mistakes. But if you want it done right and fast, let the pros handle it.
Your walls will look amazing. Your Instagram will thank you. You can finally stop hiding behind filters and bad lighting. And your sanity? Yeah, it comes back too.
So next time you’re tempted to DIY your walls because “how hard can it be?” remember: it’s harder than it looks, and the pros got you. Seriously, just call them, grab some coffee, and scroll TikTok while they do all the hard work.
