What new owners ask first

A few rooms are two to five days. A whole house is usually one to three weeks. The estimate gives day ranges you can plan around, not a promised date.

Every room and surface, the colors and sheens by name, the prep, the coats, the cleanup, the days on site and the payment schedule.

Repairs we can't see until the work starts, and any color or room added later. We tell you before doing any of it.

We move what's light and wrap the rest. Please clear shelves, walls and anything fragile. The estimate says what we'll handle.

Federal rules apply to paid work that disturbs paint in homes and child-occupied buildings built before 1978. Tell us the year when you book. The firm's EPA firm number is listed under Credentials on the About page.

Usually two. A dark color over a light one can take more, and the estimate states the number for each surface.

We do, in the colors and sheens written on the estimate. Ask for the product data sheet for any of them.

Walls are dry to the touch within hours. We tell you how long to wait before furniture goes against them.

Covering, patching, caulking, sanding and priming where needed. Larger repairs are listed on their own line.

Drop cloths and paper on floors, plastic on what stays, tape at every edge. We lift all of it at the end.

The estimate has a payment schedule. We say what's due before work starts, and when the rest is due.

Yes. That's the color consult: an hour with the color consultant or an estimator, with sample boards. You can book it without hiring us to paint.

Interior painting rarely does. If your HOA has rules about common areas, ask them first, and we'll provide the color names and finishes in writing.

Ask us for the product data sheet for the paint we choose; it states what's in it and how to ventilate. We plan around kids and pets room by room.
