Straight answers.

We walk the actual job. Square footage, how much prep the surfaces need, siding condition and the number of colors all shape the scope, so we look at it in person instead of guessing over the phone. You get a written estimate and a condition assessment sheet. Estimates are free with no obligation.

So we bring the right options to the walkthrough. Knowing whether you are looking at a straight repaint or a full color change with carpentry work changes what we should be showing you. It is not used to inflate a number — the scope and the square footage set the price.

No. Our on-site visit is completely free with zero obligation. And we don't just hand you a quote—we perform a comprehensive interior and exterior condition assessment and leave you with a physical sheet you can keep for your permanent home records.

For most projects yes, with the balance due on completion after the final walkthrough. The exact terms are spelled out in your written estimate before you sign anything.

It depends on the season. Spring and summer exterior work books further out than fall and winter interior work. Call and we will tell you honestly where you would land.

Generally April through October, when surfaces stay dry and overnight temperatures hold above 50 degrees. Interior work runs year round.

We do not paint over damp siding to hit a date. If weather pushes us, you get a call the same day with the new plan, not a crew that quietly stops showing up.

Not usually. Plenty of our customers are at work all day. We just need access to what we are painting and a way to reach you if a question comes up.

For exteriors: pressure wash, scrape, sand, spot prime bare wood, caulk open seams, and mask everything not getting coated. For interiors: move and cover furniture, protect floors, patch and sand nail holes and dings, and caulk. Prep is not an upsell — it is the job.

Two finish coats over properly prepped and primed surfaces, standard. Dramatic color changes sometimes need a third, and we tell you that up front rather than after.

We work primarily with Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Rodda Paint, Miller Paint. Which line we recommend depends on the surface and the exposure, and we will explain the difference rather than just handing you the most expensive option.

We stop, photograph it, and show you what we found with a written price before going further. Because we do carpentry too, it is a few extra days rather than a stalled project and a second contractor to find.

Yes — OR CCB# 229544, bonded and insured. We provide certificates of insurance on request for HOAs, property managers and general contractors.

Yes. Every completed painting project comes with our written 5-Year Workmanship Warranty protecting against peeling, blistering, and flaking, handed to you at the final walkthrough. Coating manufacturer warranties are separate and provide additional product-level coverage.

Yes, in-home color consultation is 100% free with qualifying paint products. We help you choose cohesive palettes and apply real test paint swatches in your home's natural light so you can approve colors with confidence.

Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, and that work has to follow EPA RRP rules. We identify it at the walkthrough and handle it correctly rather than sanding it into your yard.
