(BPT) – As a professional contractor, you know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance speed and quality when it comes to painting. You want to complete more jobs in less time for the sake of your bottom line, while still providing long-lasting, quality results for your customers.
The key to working quickly and delivering excellent work is to focus on efficiency to ensure customer satisfaction while benefiting your business by saving time and energy on every job.
Partnering with the right supplier and using the right products and tools are key to successfully building your business. Discover these three pro tips to help you complete the job accurately and on time.
1. Choose the right paint products
When it comes to choosing paint, quality comes first. Selecting quality products that are durable, easy to apply and provide maximum coverage are key to helping boost painting efficiency and reduce callbacks.

Paints from Dutch Boy Professional Series DuraHide™ line can tackle any indoor paint job, providing outstanding hide, a smooth, washable finish and a mold- and mildew-resistant coating.
For exterior jobs, your paint will need to stand up to the elements. Opt for products from Dutch Boy Professional Series DuraWeather™ line. These professional paints are geared to be used on multiple exterior surfaces like wood, stucco and masonry that often require tough, four-season protection and mildew-resistant finish that resists cracking and peeling, even in low temperatures.
