Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Here are some frequently asked questions we get about painting:

How Much Will It Cost to Paint My House?

Every painting project is unique, so we’ll need to see your home before providing an accurate estimate. The cost depends on several factors, including the amount of surface preparation required, the size and accessibility of the project, the number of coats needed, and the paint products you choose. Our estimates are detailed and transparent, so you’ll know exactly what’s included before work begins, no surprises or numbers pulled out of a paint bucket.

Do You Have a Project Minimum?

Our project minimum is generally $1,200, although there may be exceptions depending on the size, scope, and location of the work. If you’re unsure whether your project meets the minimum, we’d be happy to discuss it with you.

Can the Cost Change After I Receive My Estimate?

In most cases, the quoted price remains the same. Occasionally, additional costs may be necessary if we uncover unexpected carpentry repairs on an exterior project or if extra coats of paint are required beyond what was included in the original estimate. If that happens, we’ll explain the situation, provide updated pricing, and never complete additional work without your approval.

When Is the Best Time to Paint?

One of the benefits of living in Georgia is that our mild climate allows us to paint almost year-round. For exterior projects, we carefully monitor temperatures and weather conditions to ensure the best possible results. Deck staining is typically best between April and October since most stain products require temperatures above 40 to 50 degrees.

How Often Should I Repaint My Home?

Most home exteriors should be repainted every five to ten years, depending on the type of surface, the quality of the previous paint job, sun exposure, and Georgia’s weather. Interior walls often last five to seven years, although busy areas like kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and homes with children or pets may need fresh paint sooner.

How Long Does It Take to Paint a Home?

Every project is different. The timeline depends on the size of your home, the amount of preparation required, the size of the painting crew, and, for exterior projects, the weather. Most residential painting projects are completed within a few days to a week, and we’ll provide a more accurate schedule before your project begins.

Are You Insured?

Yes. We are fully insured and are happy to provide proof of insurance upon request, giving you peace of mind while we’re working on your home.

How Will My Project Be Managed?

Each project is overseen by an English-speaking Job Site Supervisor who manages the day-to-day work and keeps everything running smoothly. Our Production Manager also checks in throughout the project, and your Sales Associate, or even the owner, may stop by to ensure everything is meeting your expectations.

Do You Offer a Warranty?

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and provide a written warranty on qualifying painting projects. The specific warranty coverage and terms will be outlined in your proposal before work begins.

What Type of Paint Do You Use?

We primarily use premium paint products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. If you have a preferred paint brand, we’re happy to discuss your options and recommend the best product for your home’s surfaces and your project’s needs.

Do You Offer Color Consultations?

Yes. If you’d like help choosing paint colors, we offer professional color consultations to help you find colors that fit your home’s style and your personal preferences.

Is There Anything I Should Do Before the Painters Arrive?

For interior projects, we recommend removing items from the walls, clearing fragile belongings from furniture, and lightening any heavy furniture that may need to be moved. For exterior projects, please move vehicles away from the home and remove outdoor décor and lightweight furniture from the areas we’ll be painting. Taking these simple steps helps our crew get started safely and efficiently.

What Is Your Cleanup Process?

We treat your home with care throughout the entire project. Our crews clean up the work area at the end of each day and perform a thorough final cleanup once the job is complete. We remove all painting materials, dispose of debris, and leave your home clean and ready to enjoy.

What Commercial Properties Do You Paint?

In addition to residential painting, we work with a variety of commercial clients throughout the Duluth and Norcross area. Our experience includes offices, schools, churches, retail stores, warehouses, medical facilities, apartment communities, and HOA-managed properties.
