<ul>
<li> What is my skill level?  -Are you able to tackle that 2 story foyer successfully?</li>
<li>What are my quality expectations? -Can you paint a line straight enough, keep wall paint off the trim/ceiling, and be happy with the results?</li>
<li>Do I really know what I am doing?  -Painting your living room walls is one thing, but are you trying to tackle something more difficult like a weathered exterior, stain job, or trim detail?</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a nice article I found recently that goes over some of these factors. Good luck and have fun! <a title="Why hire a professional?" href="http://www.interiordesignpro.org/blog/painting">http://www.interiordesignpro.org/blog/painting</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Fall Parade of Homes just finished up here in West Michigan. This year&#8217;s parade featured 25 new homes, five condominiums, and two concept homes. They are located in ten different communities throughout the greater Grand Rapids area, and range in price from $100,000 to nearly $1 million. I hope you had an opportunity to visit some of these beautiful homes. We are proud to have provided our services to paint 5 of these beautiful homes for you to tour. <a href="http://paintmi.com/painting-blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/9977865-large.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-13" title="9977865-large" src="http://paintmi.com/painting-blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/9977865-large-300x155.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="155" /></a></p>
