A Paint Sprayer Simplifies Home Improvement Tasks | Millionaire ...

?

Home improvement projects can become costly and time consuming. Remodeling a family room, living room or dining room might be a little tough, but redoing rooms that involve plumbing and large appliances, such as the kitchen and bathroom, can get difficult and complicated. Painting and renovating the outside of the house can turn into a messy chore that takes a long time. Using a paint sprayer to paint, stain and finish walls, moldings, trim and shutters gives homeowners a way to simplify all of these home renovation tasks and more.

Paint sprayers give do-it-yourself home remodelers a big advantage over using paintbrushes and rollers. The sprayers cover larger areas and spread the paint more evenly with less dripping and splattering than a brush or roller. Painters can finely adjust better quality sprayers to control the pressure and the size of the spray area. The paint is sprayed in a fine mist for a smooth, even coating with no brush or roller marks. It?s also far easier to paint uneven surfaces, such as stucco walls, wooden railings and shutters, with a sprayer rather than a brush. Sprayers can also be used for wood staining and finishing.

Homeowners should factor the cost of paint sprayers into their supply lists before beginning their home remodeling projects. Sprayers come in a range of quality and price levels, and there are different types of sprayers. Choosing the right sprayer for the job will help save time, money and aggravation in the long run.

The two main types of sprayers are airless sprayers and those that generate air to atomize the paint spray. Sprayers for residential use come in both varieties. The prices for these sprayers start out at a few hundred dollars and go up to over a thousand. Homeowners need to do their homework to make sure they purchase the level of sprayer appropriate for their painting needs. The atomizing sprayers generally run cheaper, but they are less powerful and cannot be as finely adjusted as the airless sprayers. Airless sprayers use high air compression levels to force the paint through a spray gun. Professional painters mainly use airless sprayers, but not all airless sprayers are professional quality. Do-it-yourselfers may wish to look for lower priced airless sprayers labeled ?professional quality.? Airless sprayers are also more dangerous because of the high pressure used to spray the paint. If the nozzle comes into contact with skin, the paint can shoot through and cause a serious injury. Homeowners should carefully read the safety instructions that come with any painting machine they purchase.

Along with safety instructions, paint sprayers will include detailed instructions for their assembly and use. These should also be carefully reviewed and followed. Paint sprayers come with several sections that must be properly assembled. Smaller sprayers can be carried or might come with a backpack piece. Larger sprayers will mount on wheeled assemblies for easy transport. The cup or bucket that holds the paint will need to be carefully cleaned and stored after each use. It?s also best to wear a mask and goggles when spraying paint.

Homeowners who don?t want to make the commitment to buy a painting sprayer or who only need to cover a limited area also have the option of renting a sprayer. Home improvement stores generally rent paint sprayers, and will give customers detailed instructions on using the sprayers.
