Painting Cost-Saving Tactics

Prep Thoroughly Yourself

 

 

 

  • Masking, sanding, and patching done by you = less labor time charged by pros.
  • You already understand surface area — leverage that for estimating material needs precisely.

 

Use Paint-and-Primer in One

 

  • Cuts down on product and labor time (especially on clean surfaces).

Smart painting tips

3. Shop Smart for Paint

  • Big box stores often have mistint gallons for cheap — worth checking if you're not picky on color.
  • Brands like Behr and Valspar run frequent promos.

4. Tackle Trim and Doors Yourself

  • These details are time-consuming for pros and often priced at a premium.
  • Your precision and DIY interest make it an ideal spot to save.

5. Rent Equipment Instead of Buying

  • Paint sprayers, ladders, and flooring tools — renting saves upfront and storage space.
