ARTICLE 3: Why Professional Painting Is an Investment — Not an Expense
By Miya Paint & Painting Contractors, Vaal & Gauteng
Painting your home or commercial building is more than just colour — it’s protection, value, and longevity. Research from the South African coatings industry shows:
- Properties with fresh exterior paint gain 8–12% more value on resale
- High-quality paint can extend wall life by up to 15 years
- Professionally coated roofs reduce heat absorption by 20–30%, lowering cooling costs
Common Painting Challenges
1. Poor Surface Preparation
Over 50% of paint failures come from bad preparation:
- Dirty walls
- No primer
- Moisture under paint
- Painting over damp or cracks
2. Cheap, Low-Quality Paints
Cheaper paints fade faster, peel sooner, and require repainting every 2–3 years.
3. Unskilled Painters
Incorrect tools and rushed application cause:
- Uneven finishes
- Peeling
- Drips and patchy work
