DIY My Picket Fence

Can I DIY My Picket Fence?

If you want to, you can paint your picket fence yourself but it can be a cumbersome, fiddly job for most people.  You can hire the necessary equipment such as airless spray guns, but this will drive up the cost and the job can be made even trickier if you don’t know how to use the equipment or you are not confident with it.  Using a professional painter is a much better option in most cases.

Choosing a Painter for Your Picket Fence

If you do decide to use a professional painter for your picket fence, there are some things that you should look out for.  The first is to make sure that the painter is reputable, that they are experienced, and that they carry the relevant qualifications and insurances.  You should also ask for detailed quotes before agreeing to hire them, and the quote should contain both labour and material costs as well as an estimated time to complete the job.  Make sure the painter quotes you on a specific paint that you want them to use, so that they cannot substitute a cheaper brand without your knowledge
