It does if you don't want the mess and inconvenience of having a half finished home for long periods.“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.”

If you are going to fit woodwork and new windows it might be better as a 2 stage job.
Prep and first coats, finishing when everything else is in place.

Why not complete a room to your own satisfaction...see how long it takes you including setting up,packing away and all incidental costs of brushes,access,filler,vacuum/cleaning,protection.
A pro painter with unobstructed access would zip through it.
You will be begging him to complete the remaining work.0
