We take great care to protect your property during a painting project. Our process includes:

  • Covering Floors & Furniture: We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and masking tape to protect your floors, furniture, and belongings from paint splatters and dust.

  • Surface Preparation: We ensure walls and surfaces are properly cleaned and prepped to prevent unnecessary mess and ensure a smooth finish.

  • Taping & Masking: We carefully tape off edges, trim, and fixtures to ensure clean lines and prevent paint from getting on unintended areas.

Waterproofing exterior paint is essential for protecting your property from moisture damage and extending the lifespan of the paint job. Here’s how we do it:

  1. Surface Preparation:

    • We clean the surface thoroughly, removing dirt, mold, and old peeling paint.

    • Any cracks or gaps are sealed with a high-quality caulk to prevent water infiltration.

  2. Use of Waterproof Primer:

    • We apply a waterproof or moisture-resistant primer to create a strong foundation for the paint.

    • This helps improve adhesion and prevents water from seeping through.

  3. Choosing the Right Paint:

    • We use high-quality exterior paints that are specifically designed for waterproofing, such as elastomeric or acrylic-based paints.

    • These paints expand and contract with the surface, preventing cracks and water penetration.

  4. Applying Multiple Coats:

    • We apply at least two coats of waterproof paint to create a thick, durable barrier against moisture.

  5. Sealing & Finishing:

    • In some cases, we add a clear waterproof sealer or topcoat for extra protection, especially for areas exposed to heavy rain or humidity.

By following these steps, we ensure that your exterior paint job remains durable and resistant to water damage for years to come!

The best type of paint for interior projects depends on the surface, room function, and desired finish. Here are some of the top choices:

1. Latex (Acrylic) Paint – Best for Most Interiors

  • Pros: Dries quickly, low odor, easy to clean, and resists fading.

  • Best For: Walls, ceilings, and high-traffic areas like living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.

2. Oil-Based Paint – Best for Durability

  • Pros: Smooth finish, highly durable, and great for trim and doors.

  • Cons: Longer drying time, strong odor, and requires paint thinner for cleanup.

  • Best For: Cabinets, doors, and moldings.

3. Matte (Flat) Paint – Best for Hiding Imperfections

  • Pros: Non-reflective, excellent coverage, and hides wall flaws.

  • Cons: Harder to clean and less durable.

  • Best For: Ceilings and low-traffic areas like adult bedrooms and formal living rooms.

4. Eggshell Paint – Best for a Soft, Low-Sheen Finish

  • Pros: Slightly more durable than matte, easy to clean, and subtle sheen.

  • Best For: Living rooms, dining rooms, and hallways.

5. Satin Paint – Best for Easy Cleaning

  • Pros: More durable than eggshell, easy to wipe clean, and has a soft sheen.

  • Best For: Kitchens, bathrooms, and children’s rooms.

6. Semi-Gloss & Glossy Paint – Best for High-Moisture & High-Traffic Areas

  • Pros: Very durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean.

  • Cons: Reflects light, making imperfections more noticeable.

  • Best For: Kitchens, bathrooms, trim, doors, and cabinets.

The time it takes to paint a room depends on the size of the room, the number of coats needed, and the level of preparation required. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Small Room (e.g., 10×10 ft.) – 4 to 6 hours

  • Medium Room (e.g., 12×12 ft.) – 6 to 8 hours

  • Large Room (e.g., 16×16 ft. or bigger) – 8+ hours

Factors That Affect the Timeframe:

✔ Prep Work – Patching holes, sanding, and taping can add 1–2 hours.
✔ Number of Coats – Most walls need 2 coats, which requires drying time in between.
✔ Paint Type – Some paints dry faster than others (latex dries quicker than oil-based).
✔ Ceilings & Trim – If included, they add more time to the project.

For a standard room with minimal prep, painting can often be completed in a single day. If extensive prep work or multiple coats are needed, it might take two days.

No problem! If you’re unsure about colors, we can help you choose the perfect shades for your space.

How We Help:

✔ Color Consultation – We can provide expert advice based on your style, lighting, and room function.
✔ Sample Testing – We can apply sample swatches to see how colors look in different lighting.
✔ Trending & Timeless Options – We’ll recommend popular and classic colors that suit your home.
✔ Matching & Coordination – We can help match colors with your existing décor for a cohesive look.

Whether you want a bold statement or a neutral, relaxing feel, we’ll guide you to the best choice!

“We believe in taking care of our customers and doing whatever it takes to ensure they’re happy with their finished products. We want our clients to think of us whenever they have painting needs, so we focus on meeting their expectations and giving them even more than they envisioned at the beginning of their projects.”

Good Surface Preparation Makes All the Difference

Home painting takes more than just laying down a fresh coat of paint. Without proper surface preparation, your paint will start peeling, chipping, and bubbling long before it should, ruining the appearance.

Our house painters have a wealth of experience and an arsenal of tools to fully prepare all of your surfaces, including stucco, carpentry, wood siding, drywall, plaster, and more. We’ll stain, remove old wallpaper and paint, caulk, remove any impact damage, and do what it takes to ensure a long-lasting paint job. Only then are your walls ready for primer, stain, paint, and finishes that will last for well over a decade. That’s the difference of working with a professional painting service for your painting projects.
