There are many times apart from redecorating when the house may need repainting. Any plaster repair such as water damage repair will affect the paint and the wall will then need repainting. It is a lot easier to hire painting services than to try and do it yourself.
Painting the interior of the home is a job that many people think they should be able to do themselves, rather than hiring painting contractors. It is often seen as an easy job that you do not need to have much training of experience to accomplish. While it is true that you may be able to do such a job yourself, it is not necessarily true that the result will look very professional.
It is a lot harder to paint a house than it looks. Not only is a steady hand a necessary requirement, but you also need to have a very strong neck to do the ceilings. Ceilings are often painted by attaching a long pole to the paint roller. This saves getting up and down a ladder, but you do need to be looking up all the time. If you are not used to doing that, your neck will start to hurt very quickly. But Melbourne painters are used to doing it, so their necks are much stronger.
Then there is the problem of getting the colour joins perfect. Ceilings are almost always painted white, while walls are usually of some colour, not just white. A paint roller does not make a very good edge of paint, so you do have to get up on the ladder with a paintbrush to paint those corners and edges where the ceiling meets the walls. Very few homeowners have the knack of cutting in joining paint colours. This is often because the brushes they buy are not professional ones and so do not leave a good straight edge. But commercial painters can make this meeting of colours look so perfect, even without the use of packing or painting tape.
