  • Do you subcontract your projects to other contractors?
  • Who can I reach out to about my questions and concerns?

What Is the Process?

The most important aspect of any paint job is preparation. Good preparation ensures that the paint looks its best, lasts a long time, and guarantees your project is completed on time. That’s why we take pride in our multi-step, client-driven preparation process. When you first meet with us, you’ll find that we do a lot of listening and not much speaking. That’s because we want to find out what is most important to you so that we can first prepare a proposal that best fits your needs and budget. Then, once you approve the proposal, we begin preparing your home for the painting process. Not many painting companies do proper surface preparation before they begin a job because it can be time-consuming and difficult. However, thorough preparation is critical in the overall results of any paint job. Poor surface preparation guarantees quick failure of the work. Going through the critical steps of washing, sanding, caulking, glazing, and priming make a huge difference in the overall performance of the job. The well-prepared project will look significantly better upon completion and last many years longer than its poorly prepared counterpart. In fact, a thoroughly prepared (albeit more expensive) project is actually the best value because the job lasts so much longer than its less expensive counterpart. A cheaply done job can end up being a costly mistake. If you want your home looking its best for years to come, give us a call or click the button to request a free estimate.

Not Sure What Color to Pick?

Color selection is a critical factor in any successful paint job. Not being sure about color can be very frustrating and stressful, even if you’re down to deciding between 2 different shades of blue.

Our estimators and foreman are expert color consultants and will work with you closely to furnish color swatches and color samples as you work your way through the selection process.

Moreover, in the event that you need additional assistance with the color selection, we offer a color consultation with an experienced color consultant for free. Color consultants bring a new level of expertise when making interior design decisions.
