Initial Consultation and Estimate
Your painting project begins with a thorough consultation. A project manager will meet you at your home to assess the scope of work, discuss your goals, and identify specific needs. You’ll receive a detailed estimate that includes labor, materials, timeline, and recommendations. This transparency ensures there are no surprises, and our professional advice helps you make informed decisions.
Color Selection and Surface Preparation
Choosing the right paint color is more than aesthetics—it’s about emotion, mood, and enhancing space. Our team offers expert advice on trending colors and timeless palettes. Before any paint touches the walls, we handle prep work: moving furniture, taping edges, filling holes, sanding, and priming surfaces. This ensures the paint adheres perfectly and the finish lasts longer. Proper surface prep is crucial for a professional-quality result.
The Painting Process
Once surfaces are prepped, the actual painting begins. Our experienced painters use high-quality tools and paints to ensure smooth, even coats. We protect your floors, fixtures, and furniture, and we work efficiently to minimize disruption. Depending on the size of the project, this phase can last from a single day to several days. Communication is ongoing, so you’re never left in the dark.
Final Walkthrough and Cleanup
After painting, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. Touch-ups are made as needed. We then clean the area thoroughly—removing tape, coverings, and any debris—leaving your home spotless and freshly transformed. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we won’t leave until you’re happy.
