There’s nothing more satisfying than completing DIY home projects, especially big tasks that dramatically transform your home—like painting! Though you may have the motivation to do a great painting job, you may not have all the rental equipment you need. Here at A Tool Shed Rentals, we have everything you’ll need to make your painting project a breeze, such as:

Wallpaper Steamer: If you have wallpaper to get rid of, you certainly have your work cut out for you! Luckily, you can rent a wallpaper steamer from A Tool Shed to make the job fly by. Using a wallpaper steamer is a safe, chemical-free way to take down wallpaper. This piece of rental equipment is even powerful enough to remove multiple layers of wallpaper and wallpaper that’s been painted over. A wallpaper steamer is the perfect example of equipment that should be rented instead of bought outright; after all, though it’s extremely useful, it’s unlikely that you will need to use a steamer often enough to purchase one.

Ladder: A ladder is an essential piece of equipment that you’re sure to have around the house, but you may need a taller or extendable ladder to reach every corner when painting. If you only have a small folding ladder, you’ll definitely need a taller, sturdier ladder for your painting project. At A Tool Shed, we offer a wide range of ladders, from regular 6-foot and 8-foot stepladders to 24-, 26-, 32-, and 40-foot extension ladders.

Electric Paint Sprayer: For a professional look you can get in a short time, you can’t go wrong with an electric airless paint sprayer . Our model sprays a half a gallon of latex paint per minute and comes with a 50-foot hose.

At A Tool Shed Rentals, you can rent tools for hours, days, weeks, and even a month! Come into one of our six convenient locations throughout northern California or contact us at (831) 359-4769, and we’ll be more than happy to help you out.

The first mechanized, compact trencher was invented in 1949 by Ditch Witch Power. This trencher immediately simplified the process of installing underground utility lines for electricity, gas, and plumbing, which previously relied on the manpower of picks and shovels. Today’s models lead the industry and have been proclaimed as one of the best American-made products in the world.
