Our Painting Process

Project timelines vary based on scope, size, and specific requirements. A standard residential interior might take 3-5 days, while commercial projects typically range from 1-3 weeks. During our initial consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline specific to your project, accounting for preparation, application, and curing time. We pride ourselves on meeting our scheduled timelines through efficient project management and adequate staffing.

While we recommend removing small items and valuables, our team can handle moving and protecting larger furniture pieces. For residential projects, we'll carefully move and cover furniture, then return everything to its original position upon completion. For commercial projects, we work with you to develop a phased approach that minimizes disruption to your operations, often working during off-hours when needed.

Proper preparation is the foundation of our process and typically includes cleaning surfaces to remove dirt and contaminants, repairing damaged areas such as cracks or holes, sanding rough areas, masking and protecting non-painted surfaces, and applying appropriate primer systems. The specific preparation steps vary by surface type and condition, which we assess during our initial inspection.

We maintain color consistency through several best practices: using paint from the same batch whenever possible, boxing (mixing) multiple cans together for larger areas, maintaining consistent application techniques, properly preparing surfaces for even absorption, and using quality primers to establish a uniform base. Our experienced painters are trained to achieve consistent coverage and color across all surfaces.

Protection is a critical part of our process. We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and painter's tape to protect floors, furniture, fixtures, and non-painted surfaces. For exterior projects, we protect landscaping, walkways, and adjacent structures. Our team conducts daily clean-up, and all materials are properly stored and secured when not in use. We treat your property with the same care we would our own.

We select materials based on each project's specific requirements, using only premium paints and coatings from industry-leading manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG. Our selections consider factors such as surface type, environment, durability requirements, and desired finish. We're happy to discuss specific product recommendations and can accommodate preferences for low-VOC or environmentally friendly options.
