With the paints we use, most times are fine. For exteriors, days where the temperature does not go below 40 degrees at night.

Exteriors should be painted every 5-7 years. Interiors can be painted whenever, such as when you are going for a new look or getting new furniture.

Depending on the size of the job, we’ll send anywhere from 2 to 5 painters.

Every project has a Job Site Supervisor. He is your on-site contact. The office and I are always available to answer any questions and/or concerns.

We offer a warranty of 2 years on completed jobs.

How long have you been in business?

We’re proud to be a locally owned company that’s been in business for over 15 years.

Can the painters work alone in my house?

Absolutely, but we do need the homeowners to meet with the painters on the first morning and be available to do a “pride walk” with the Job Site Supervisor at completion.

How many paint colors are included in your typical proposal?

We typically use one color per room for our jobs, so multiroom projects can consist of multiple colors.
