What You Need to Know About Painters During the Covid-19 Era
It’s an irony not lost on Philadelphians who found themselves sequestered at home due to the current pandemic: With nothing but the TV and walls to focus on during this era of quarantine, plenty of homeowners are coming to the conclusion that their walls could use a good coat of paint.
An obvious outcome of having come to this conclusion is the question, “How has Covid-19 affected the painting industry?" Have circumstances surrounding the Corona Virus become so serious, just the thought of inviting a painter in to spruce up walls and trim triggers a long list of cautionary questions for the average Philadelphia homeowner?
But here’s news that could surprise you: According to
BusinessWire.com, a leading online industry publication, a JD Powers study just released on April 9, 2020, reports “With COVID-19, Consumers are Jump-Starting Home Improvement Painting Projects.” This is good news for homeowners and contractors. In fact, 35-percent of all homeowners queried by JD Power intend to launch a home improvement project by the summer of 2020.
Here’s better news: “according to Moody’s (moodys.com/coronavirus), paint and stain purchases could potentially exceed typical Q2 trends, so paint contractors delivering “an exceptional customer experience” are going to come out ahead during this troubling time. Apply this projection to Painters in Philly, the best painters in Philadelphia and there’s reason for celebration.

So, what does the future of Philadelphia painters look like?
According to the market research company SBI
(https://www.marketresearch.com/SBI-v775/), the future of the American paint and coatings industry is bright as is that of Philly painters. Projections estimate the industry will be worth approximately $30 billion by 2021, despite rising costs associated with paint ingredients and adjustments for environmental regulatory changes.
Behind this growth are consumer-friendly innovations like “VOC-free” coatings and allergy-sensitive paints. There will be no shortage of new ideas and products engineered just for painting contractors down the road, especially once we return to "life as usual" once proper tests and vaccines are found to end this nightmare.
