Day 1 - Preparation & Protection

Preparation begins with protecting your home. We carefully cover floors along the perimeter of each wall using protective paper, securely taped to baseboards to prevent dust or paint splatter.

  • Walls & Baseboards Only: Furniture is moved to the center of the room and exposed flooring is covered.

  • Ceilings Included: Furniture, beds, and remaining items are fully covered with plastic, and all floors are protected.

Painting Process

Once prep is complete, we focus on delivering a flawless finish.

  • Repaired areas are primed

  • The first coat of paint is applied

  • After drying, walls are inspected for smoothness and consistency

  • A second coat is applied for full coverage and durability

If ceilings, walls, trim, and baseboards are included, we always work top to bottom:

  1. Ceilings (fixtures covered and protected)

  2. Walls

  3. Trim, baseboards, and doors last — for crisp, clean lines

Paint Brands We Use

We primarily use Sherwin-Williams and PPG, both known for their quality, durability, and excellent performance.

  • PPG: Often a more budget-friendly option while still delivering great results

  • Sherwin-Williams: Premium quality with wide availability

  • Benjamin Moore: Higher-end option many homeowners love for performance and finish

We offer good, better, and best options from each brand. During your estimate, we’ll discuss:

  • Budget preferences

  • Kids, pets, and high-traffic areas

  • Desired durability and finish

We do not use low-grade paint.

Wall Preparation

Proper prep ensures a smooth, long-lasting finish.

  • Walls are wiped down to remove dust and residue

  • Outlet and switch plates are removed

  • Dents, dings, and nail holes are filled

  • Once repairs dry, walls are lightly sanded for smoothness and proper paint adhesion

  • Walls and baseboards are wiped and cleaned again to remove dust

  • If baseboards require caulking, it’s done after cleaning to ensure clean, neat caulk lines

Daily Cleanup

We clean up at the end of each day and always ask where you’d prefer supplies and equipment to be stored.

  • If a utility sink is available, tools may be cleaned onsite

  • If not — or if you prefer — tools are cleaned offsite

Your home stays as neat and organized as possible throughout the project.

Pricing

Pricing is typically based per room. With nearly 20 years of experience, we’re highly accurate when estimating both cost and time, so there are no surprises.
