An Exterior House Painting Story

By Vickie Faria

One day when deciding to embark on the challenging prospect of painting my own house, I enlisted the help of a few neighbors and an uncle. As we set out on this ever-important mission to paint my mother's house, we felt confident in a smooth and efficient victory. Little did we know, however, that we were in for the ride of a lifetime.

Ignoring the advice of my brother, we chose not to hire an exterior house painting contractor to do the work for us, believing we were in this way saving time and money. After buying all of the supplies, we jumped into the project. By doing so we ignored another piece of advice handed down from my brother: plan accordingly and anticipate problems before they happen if at all possible. With such a crack team of painters that included a substitute middle school teacher, the local barber and that guy who speed walks every evening wearing only blue jeans, we felt confident that we would be able to take on the project without any problems. Two spilled buckets of paint and a few changes of clothes later, we were running to the phone to call that exterior house painting contractor.

The exterior house painting contractor showed up the next day, skilled team in hand, and finished the job we had sort of started. I guess I had to learn the hard way of the value of a professional job. After experiencing that for myself, I now have a new found respect for the skill it actually takes to paint a house.
