Rooms
Inside the house
Every room starts with the same repairs and the same care for what's in it.
Bedrooms and closets
Walls, ceiling, closet and trim, with soft colors and a finish that doesn't glare.
Closets emptied by us, and refilled
Doors and frames done last, so they don't stick
Kitchens and dining rooms
A washable finish on the walls, and trim that can take a damp cloth.
Grease cleaned off before any paint
Cabinet fronts painted only if you ask
Living rooms and halls
Lighter walls and clear edges at doors and corners, so the way through is easy to see.
A darker trim color where it helps the eye
Switch plates and vents taken off and put back
Bathrooms and trim
Moisture-resistant paint on walls and ceiling, and a hard finish on doors and trim.
Mildew cleaned off, not painted over
Caulk renewed around tubs and sinks
Before the paint
What we do in every room first
Prep is most of the work, and it's the part that lasts.
Furniture and floors
Moved, covered, and photographed so it goes back as it was.
Cracks and holes
Filled, sanded smooth, and spot-primed.
Walls cleaned
Dust, grease and fingerprints off, so the paint holds.
Trim taped
Straight edges, taped by hand.
Windows opened
Fresh air in while we paint and after we finish.
A chair for you
Set up away from the work, if you want to watch.
About the rooms
How long does a room take?
Most bedrooms take one to two days and most living rooms two to three. Your plan lists the days. If something takes longer we call you before we go on.
Which paint do you use, and who buys it?
We buy premium paint. You can ask which one, and for the data sheet, before the day starts. Matte for bedrooms, a washable finish for kitchens and halls, a harder one for trim.
What is on the written plan?
Which rooms, the repairs, the number of coats, the paint and sheen, the colors, cleanup, the dates, what it costs and how payment works. We can print it in large type.
Start with the one room that's bothering you.
