Common Questions
What is your process?
We start with an on-site consultation and follow up with a clear, detailed proposal. Once approved, we handle all prep work to protect your home before applying high-quality, precision painting. Afterward, we’ll walk through the finished project with you to ensure you’re 100% satisfied.
Is there anything I should do to prepare for my painting project?
Absolutely. Before we begin, we recommend removing small, delicate items from the work area and trimming back exterior landscaping if applicable. We’ll handle the heavy lifting and take care to protect your home throughout the process.
