Working in the construction or industrial sector means that at some point you may come across a large painting job that requires more than tape and a tarp to protect surface areas. There are many supplies that go into painting that make the job easier and more efficient, such as painter's ladders. Some of these supplies can be bulky to store and costly to initially purchase, however, making them almost an inconvenience to your project. Here are 2 painting supplies that you are better off renting than buying so you can save yourself money and space in storage and have a more beneficial result for your business.

Scaffolding

Even when folded up, scaffolding can take up a lot of space and is a large investment that may take a few painting projects to pay for itself. If you don't plan on doing a lot of painting projects for your business, your wisest option is to rent. Renting scaffolding can be surprisingly cheap, as little as $15 per day, and allows you to choose the exact size and style of material you need to help you get the job done.

Along with your scaffolding rental, you can rent painting ladders and climbing equipment as well. Renting these items together allows you to save money and have all the necessary safety equipment you need to get the job done correctly.

Commercial paint sprayer

A commercial paint sprayer purchase can set you back, and you may not even us the equipment that often. Renting a paint sprayer saves you money in that you get to control how long you rent the unit for and can decide just how powerful of a sprayer you need for your project. Before you rent a paint sprayer, you will want to know the an approximate square footage of space you will be painting to help you decide how many gallons you need in your machine. Both traditional and airless versions can be rented at your local home improvement store or industrial equipment rental facility.

When you have a large painting project before you, you want to make sure you have the right equipment for the job. This doesn't mean you have to buy all the supplies you need to complete your painting projects. You can take advantage of commercial and industrial rental companies to get the painting supplies you need so you can get the job done correctly and safely.
