  • ● What should I look for when hiring a painting contractor?
    There are several key things to look for when choosing a painting contractor. At the very least, check to see if they are licensed, insured, experienced and capable of completing work. Look for reputable companies with local references.
  • ● Can I leave my home while your painting crew works?
    Yes. Most people we work for are not home while work is going on. While you are at work or running errands, our crew will be busy painting. We are licensed and fully insured so there is nothing to worry about.
  • ● Do you have references?
    Yes, references our available upon request and you can check our Google Review page.
  • ● Do you have examples of work you’ve completed?
    Yes! Please visit our photo gallery to see examples of our completed interior and exterior painting projects on Instagram.
  • ● What kind of paint do you use?
    We use the only professional quality paints from Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, unless the customer requests a different brand.
  • ● What are different paint sheens?
    Sheen refers to the light reflectivity of the painted or varnished surface. There are varying degrees of sheen, from no sheen to high gloss. Though some paint manufacturers may refer to their paint sheens by different names, generally, from lowest to highest, paint sheens correspond to these reflective degrees: Flat finish Eggshell finish Satin finish Semi gloss finish High gloss finish

  • ● Do you charge for estimates?
    We never charge a fee to provide an estimate for your painting project.
  • ● How do you determine the amount you will charge for my painting project?
    There are many things to consider including: type and size of the painted area; type of windows and other trim work; number and intensity of paint colors; quality of paint used; and the extent of needed paint surface preparation. All of those things will need to be considered in order to provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
  • ● Will you complete my job in a timely manner without interruption?
    Yes. We schedule each job to be completed in consecutive days (M-F.)
  • ● What hours do your crews work?
    We generally work M-F, 8-4:30 We can do work at other hours if needed, but these are our standard working hours.
  • ● How will my personal property be protected from paint?
    On interiors, after you have removed your delicate items, all areas or remaining items, will be covered with clean drop cloths or plastic sheeting. On exteriors, shrubs and surrounding areas will be protected so that no evidence of paint splatter or paint peelings remains.
  • ● Do I need to move everything from the rooms before you paint?
    Please move all small items and breakables. Unless agreed otherwise, we will move and protect all of the furniture and fixtures.
  • ● What if I want to change something about the job or need some additional work done while the paint crew is already at my home?
    Please let our office know about it or feel free to contact your estimator directly. Most of the time it is more cost-effective for us to make a change or do additional during the course of the project than to have us come back after the project is complete.
  • ● When I get different bids from several companies, they are never the same, some high, some low. Why is there such a price difference?
    The cost of a job is usually determined by the level of thoroughness, attention to detail, and quality desired. It costs more to properly prepare a surface for painting than to just pressure clean and scrape the surface. The majority of the cost of painting is in the surface preparation and the labor involved in the application of the paint and not the actual cost of the paint itself. As with most other industries, generally you get what you pay for.
  • ● How long will it take for the paint to dry?
    Acrylic (latex) paint dries much faster than Alkyd (oil). Usually a couple of hours is plenty of time. Oil paint though should dry overnight. Flat paint may dry faster than semi gloss.
  • ● When do I pay you?
    A payment schedule is outlined in our contact. We will invoice you accordingly and will expect to be paid at that time.
