Project Planning

How do I prepare my home or business for a painting project?

We recommend clearing the area of furniture and personal items. Our team will handle surface preparation, including cleaning, sanding, and priming as needed.

What should I expect during the painting process?

Our professional painters will arrive on time, protect your belongings, prepare surfaces, apply high-quality paints, and ensure a clean workspace throughout the project.

Do I need to be home while the painting is being done?

While it’s not mandatory, we ensure open communication throughout the project. Each crew has a lead painter, and that’s always a phone call away.

How long will my painting project take?

The duration varies based on the project’s scope. Typically, we can start within a week or two after the estimate, and we’ll provide a timeline during the consultation.
