How long does a typical painting project take?

The duration depends on the size of the project, but most interior rooms take 1-3 days. Exterior projects can take anywhere from 3-7 days depending on the size of the property and weather conditions. We’ll always provide a timeline estimate before starting your project.

What preparation work is included?

Proper preparation is key to a quality finish. Our preparation includes furniture moving and protection, surface cleaning, filling cracks and holes, sanding surfaces, priming where necessary, and masking off areas to protect them from paint.

Do I need to move all my furniture before you arrive?

No, our team will move and protect your furniture as part of our service. We use protective coverings to ensure your belongings are safe from paint splatters. We do recommend removing small valuable items and personal belongings yourself for added security.

What type of paint do you use?

We use high-quality paints from reputable brands that we know will provide excellent coverage and durability. We can recommend the best type of paint for each surface and room based on your needs and preferences, including low-VOC and eco-friendly options.

Are you insured?
