Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle both interior and exterior painting?
We do. Each demands its own preparation and products, so we tailor our approach to the surface, whether refreshing a bedroom inside or protecting your siding from coastal weather outside.
Can you refinish my cabinets instead of replacing them?
Absolutely. For cabinets in sound shape, refinishing modernizes your kitchen without the cost of replacement. We sand, prime, and coat each piece for a durable finish while keeping your layout.
Do you offer pressure washing as a standalone service?
Yes. While washing often prepares a surface for painting, we gladly handle it alone, cleaning driveways, decks, siding, and walkways so buildup lifts away without any unnecessary wear or damage.
How long will my project take?
Timelines depend on the scope, the prep, and the weather. A single room wraps quickly, while a full home takes longer. We share a clear estimate and keep you updated.
Do you help with color selection?
Gladly. Choosing the right color often stalls many projects, so we walk through samples with you, weigh your lighting and furnishings, and offer clear, honest recommendations before any painting begins.
What surfaces can you pressure wash?
We clean driveways, walkways, siding, decks, patios, fences, and pavers. Some materials call for gentler soft washing rather than high pressure, so we match the technique to each surface carefully.
Do you stain and seal decks?
Yes. Staining and sealing protect outdoor wood from moisture and sun. We clean and prep the surface first, then apply stain and sealant with care, preserving your deck for seasons.
Do you protect furniture and landscaping during a project?
Always. We cover furniture, mask fixtures, and protect floors before interior work, and take care around plants outdoors, so the only change you notice afterward is the beautiful finished result.
How often should I repaint my home's exterior?
It varies with the surface, sun exposure, and our coastal moisture, though many exteriors benefit from a refresh every several years. We gladly inspect and recommend a timeline that fits.
Do you offer custom or decorative painting?
We do. From bold accent walls to faux and decorative finishes, patterns, and specialty coatings, we collaborate from concept to completion so the finished space reflects you, not a template.
Are you experienced with older or coastal homes?
Very much so. Our roots run deep, and we understand how humidity, salt air, and sun affect local homes, so your finish performs the way it should in our conditions.
What should I do to prepare before you arrive?
Usually very little. We handle the heavy preparation ourselves, though clearing items and giving us access helps. We will walk you through any specifics so you know what to expect.
Do you stand behind your finished work?
We do, wholeheartedly. Doing the work ourselves means we take real ownership, and we are not satisfied until you are, holding every project to the same family standard and finish.
How do I get started on my project?
