Question 1

How long does a typical painting project take?

Accepted Answer

Most single-room interior projects take 1-2 days. A full home interior typically takes 3-7 days depending on the size and scope. Exterior projects range from 3-10 days depending on the home's size and the amount of prep work required. We'll provide a detailed timeline in your estimate.

Question 2

Do you provide free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We offer free, no-obligation estimates for all projects. One of our experienced estimators will visit your property, discuss your needs, assess the scope of work, and provide a detailed written estimate -- typically within 48 hours of the visit.

Question 3

What brands of paint do you use?

Accepted Answer

We primarily use premium paints from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Dunn-Edwards. These brands offer superior coverage, durability, and color accuracy. We use low-VOC and zero-VOC options for interior work to keep your home safe and comfortable. If you have a preferred brand, we're happy to accommodate.

Question 4

Do I need to move my furniture before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

Small items like decorations, picture frames, and personal belongings should be removed before we arrive. For larger furniture, our team will carefully move it to the center of the room and cover it with drop cloths. We handle all wall preparation, masking, and floor protection as part of our service.

Question 5

How do you prepare surfaces before painting?

Accepted Answer

Proper preparation is the foundation of a great paint job. Our process includes cleaning surfaces, filling holes and cracks, sanding rough areas, applying primer where needed, caulking gaps, and masking/taping all edges and trim. For exteriors, we add power washing and scraping of loose paint.

Question 6

What's included in your painting service?

Accepted Answer

Our full-service approach includes: color consultation, surface preparation (cleaning, patching, sanding, priming), professional application (2 coats standard), daily cleanup, final walkthrough inspection, and touch-up paint left for your future use. We also include a warranty on all workmanship.

Question 7

Do you work on weekends?

Accepted Answer

We can accommodate weekend work, especially for commercial projects where we need to minimize disruption to your business. For residential projects, we typically work Monday through Friday, but weekend scheduling is available upon request for an additional fee.

Question 8

How do I choose the right color for my home?

Accepted Answer

We offer complimentary color consultation as part of every project. Our experienced team can recommend colors based on your home's architecture, lighting, existing decor, and personal preferences. We also provide large sample swatches so you can see colors on your actual walls before committing.

Question 9

What's the difference between interior and exterior paint?

Accepted Answer

Exterior paint is formulated to withstand UV rays, moisture, temperature changes, and mildew. It contains more flexible resins that expand and contract with the surface. Interior paint prioritizes low odor, low VOCs, washability, and a smooth finish. Using the right paint for the right application is crucial for longevity.

Question 10

Do you offer any warranties or guarantees?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide a 2-year warranty on all interior work and a 3-year warranty on exterior projects. This covers peeling, blistering, and fading under normal conditions. We also guarantee your satisfaction -- if something doesn't look right during the final walkthrough, we'll fix it on the spot.

Question 11

How much does a painting project typically cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary based on the project scope, surface condition, paint quality, and labor involved. A single room might range from $300-$800, while a full home interior can range from $3,000-$10,000+. Exterior projects typically range from $3,000-$15,000+. We provide detailed, transparent estimates with no hidden fees.

Question 12

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept checks, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AmEx), and bank transfers. For larger projects, we offer a payment schedule: a deposit to reserve your dates, a progress payment at the midpoint, and the balance upon completion and your satisfaction.
