What services do you offer?
We offer complete house painting services. Interior or exterior. For interior we can paint your ceilings, trim, doors, railings, and cabinetry. For exterior we can tackle your stucco, siding, trim, doors, decks, and fences. Painting or staining we can take care of it all.
How long does it take to paint a house?
This will depend on the work that needs to be completed, and if its interior or exterior. For example if its interior we will need to know if the ceilings, trim, doors, closets, railings, or just the walls need painting. If we are painting all surfaces we will need between 1-2 weeks for an average home Once a house is quoted and we have all our measurements we can then determine the time it will take.
How much does it cost to paint a house?
The cost to paint a home varies greatly depending on what needs to be painted, the condition of the surfaces and the amount of preparation required. We provide free, no-pressure estimates so we can give you an accurate price for your project.
Do you do spray painting?
Yes. For interior we can spray your ceilings, trim and doors. We also offer fine finish spraying for your cabinetry and railings.
For exterior we typically spray and back roll some surfaces such as stucco, siding, and fences.
Do you repair the surfaces before you paint them?
Absolutely! The biggest task of any beautiful paint job is the preparation before we even crack a paint can. Depending on the surface to be painted we will scrape, sand, caulk, prime, patch and fill. We take great pride in getting the surfaces we paint to look as good as they possibly can.
How many coats of paint do you apply?
As a standard we will always apply two coats. Some surfaces will require a primer or undercoat before we apply the top coats. Any new drywall or bare wood will be primed. If we are dealing with a hard to cover colour we will apply an undercoat for better coverage of the top coat.
How do I choose colours?
Start with colours that complement your flooring, cabinets, countertops and furnishings. Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, we’ll apply test samples to your walls so you can see how they look in your home’s lighting. Review them at different times of day before making your final selection.
What brand of paint do you use?
We will only ever apply top of the line coatings to your home. If it doesnt go in our home its not going in yours. We offer top quality paint selections from Cloverdale and Benjamin Moore.
Will there be paint odours during the work?
We mainly use low-VOC water-based coatings, although some surfaces may require specialty primers or finishes. Odour and drying times vary by product. Proper ventilation and following the manufacturer’s instructions are important during application and drying. Please tell us about any sensitivities before work begins so we can discuss the products and schedule with you.
Can we be home during the painting?
You bet! Of course its nice to leave and come back to a freshly painted home. Many people work from home these days and we can accommodate that. We will start and finish what we are painting each day. That way we are only in the area we are painting and are not all throughout the home. We will find a corner to put our tools and clean up each day. We want to respect your home and lifestyle as much as possible to keep things easy and stress free for you.
Do you use employees or subcontractors?
Every person on our team is a full time employee and we do not use subcontractors.
Are you licensed and insured?

Do you have a warranty? If so for how long?
Absolutely. We stand behind our work 100%. Our interior work is warrantied for 3 years and 2 years for our exterior work. That covers labor and materials. That means if you spot any touchups or failing paint in that time frame we will repair it no questions asked.
