Home Painting Equipment 2025

Many decades ago, a brush was the standard application tool in the home painting industry. The 2000's brought about a revolution with paint rollers becoming the preferred choice for applicators. At that time there was a lot of apprehension and hesitation initially regarding the usage of rollers, such as, won't there be a lot of material wastage, how do we maintain the rollers, wont they be very expensive and so on. But as the applicators began to use rollers, they realised that the labour savings, speed of application and quality of finish far outweighed any disadvantages rollers had. With the mass acceptance of rollers, production of rollers ramped up many folds and drove down the prices of rollers sharply. 

At the present time, rollers are not only used to paint walls but also to paint doors, grills, windows etc. The roller is now the universally accepted method of application. 

Just like 20 years ago, there is another paint application revolution quietly brewing. It brings with it not only huge savings in labour but also unmatched finish. It is now the decade of the airless paint sprayers. Just as with rollers, this method of application is a paradigm shift in the home painting industry.

The pertinent questions as still the same. What about material wastage? How do we maintain and clean the equipment? Is it worth the investment? Again, the answers are the same. The savings in labour costs are 4X. The finish is such that, once the customer has experienced it, there is no looking back. The customer will now expect such a finish, and every painting contractor will have to match the upgraded customer expectations. There is an advantage to the contractor as well. The painting contractor can achieve the finish of 2 coats of roller finish in a single coat of spray finish, thus halving the labour required. 

The machines themselves have also undergone many iterations in terms of pricing and the product market fit in the context of Indian homes. Machines that ware presented in the market initially had a high cost-barrier, but now machines are very affordable and easy to maintain. Most companies provide on-site service for the machines along with standard warranties.
