IntroductionHiring a professional painter and decorator can feel like a leap of faith — especially if it's your first time. Will they turn up on time? Will the finish be perfect? Will your home be left clean? At Parfitt Painting Services, we understand these concerns and work hard to make the process smooth, respectful, and high quality from start to finish.

Painting might seem simple on the surface, but there’s a big difference between a job done and a job done well. Many homeowners (and even some tradespeople) fall into the same traps that lead to patchy finishes, peeling paint, or edges that look anything but clean. At Parfitt Painting Services, we pride ourselves on delivering sharp, durable results — and a big part of that is knowing what not to do. Below are five of the most common painting mistakes we see and exactly how we prevent them.
