What should I look for in a painting contractor?

Always look for customer reviews. Be sure your estimate includes everything you’ve discussed with the estimator. Don’t use anyone who asks for money up front. Finally, be sure that your contractor is fully insured with both General Liability and Worker’s Compensation insurance.

How do I get my house ready for the paint crew?

We make sure to cover and protect your furniture, flooring, and belongings with the proper drop cloths before and during the prep and painting. All we ask is that you remove any small items (ash trays, figurines, flower vases, etc.). Of course, you should take down your pictures and window treatments in advance. When we’re done we replace your furniture to its original location.

What hours does your company work?

Our crew works around your schedule.

What can I expect during a paint job?

We love to hear of any specifications you might have regarding our work so feel free to be as specific as you desire! It is a priority that you and your home are respected to the fullest degree so we follow any measures to ensure that.  We will first prepare the space by protecting your large furnishings and safely putting them in a proper place where they can be covered and out of the way. If we are working on the exterior we will make sure to cover landscaping with proper cloths or plastic to make sure nothing gets damaged. We then cover floors, windows, lighting fixtures or any other parts of the home that are not intended to be painted. If we are only doing part of the home we make sure to tape it off so that dust or paint does not disturb the other rooms while we are working. Next we prepare the surfaces by cleaning surfaces, filling holes, fixing cracks, and sanding. If we are working on your exterior we may be replacing rotten wood. Next we paint using appropriate primer if needed and follow with your topcoat. At the end of each working day we make sure to clean up and keep your place neat and tidy. At the end of the job everything is put back in its proper place.

Can you paint over exterior brick?

Of Course. With the proper primer for example loxon masonry primer we seal the brick allowing it to accept an exterior paint on top.

Can you paint over vinyl and aluminum siding?

Yes. Vinyl needs to be properly cleaned first then a vinylsafe exterior paint is applied. Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore offer a great selection of vinylsafe color options. For aluminum we also clean the siding properly with a product like tsp. If necessary we apply an oil based primer meant for use on metal. We then apply an exterior acrylic paint.

Can you paint over my paneling?

Yes. We properly clean the paneling and fill holes depending on the look you’re going for. We then use a stain blocking primer and cover it with a latex topcoat.

What if I need you to paint over wallpaper?

Yes, we can. We’ll first apply an oil based primer, mud the wall, and paint over top. Otherwise, the wallpaper has to come off.

What brand paints do you use?

Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams
