Thinking about giving your home a fresh coat of paint? You’re not alone. Many homeowners in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and Mission, BC wonder whether it’s better to roll up their sleeves and take on a DIY paint project—or leave it to the pros.
At Casanova Painting, we’re all about helping you make the best decision for your time, budget, and vision. So let’s break it down: when is painting a great DIY project, and when should you trust the experts?
🛠️ DIY Painting: When It Makes Sense
Doing it yourself can be a satisfying and cost-effective way to give a small space a facelift. Here are some cases where DIY can work well:
✅ Small, Low-Traffic Spaces
- Think powder rooms, guest bedrooms, or closets.
- These areas usually have fewer walls and trim work, making them beginner-friendly.
✅ You’re Just Refreshing the Same Color
- No need for primer or cutting in with extreme precision. (DO NOT TOUCH THE CEILING)
- Touch-ups and simple repaints are great entry-level jobs.
✅ You Have Time and Patience
- Painting takes longer than most people think—especially with prep, drying time, and cleanup.
- If you enjoy the process, go for it!
