What's our interior painting process step by step?

• Step #1: The Proposal

We start by listening to our customer's wishes and needs. Then we prepare a painting proposal with a detailed plan of the project process and costs. We explain the details to the customer and we keep in communication during the entire project.

• Step #2: Preparation:

After everything is clear and we both agree, we start with the preparation process:

That includes covering the furniture and floors with a new, clean piece of protective plastic sheeting. We also protect your floors with drop cloths, taking care to secure every inch of the room.

Our painting crew prepares the walls for interior painting by filling any holes or cracks in ceilings and walls, sealing any stains, and scuff sanding any uneven surfaces, including loose or old paint. This creates the smooth, clean canvas necessary for a beautiful finish.

• Step #3: Painting

After any areas repaired in the previous step are primed, we apply premium quality paints for a uniform finish. There are multiple finish options, including flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss, and we will have gone over the benefits of each with you beforehand so you can make an informed decision. The time will vary depending on the size of the job, but we will always ensure to work as quickly and efficiently as possible.

• Step #4: Cleaning

The paint will dry within a few hours, and you do not need to vacate the house while this is happening. The crew removes all the painting materials and coverings. We sweep your floors and carpets and put everything back exactly where we found it while paying close attention to doing a thorough job cleaning the work area.

• Step #5: Job Inspection

After our own inspection, our supervisor will walk you through the space, giving you the opportunity to review our work and to provide any initial feedback. You may also be contacted for a follow-up satisfaction survey so that we know how we measured up to your expectations. Our paint jobs are designed to last up to 7 years on a properly maintained surface, so you will get to enjoy your beautiful newly painted room for years to come.

We can match just about any paint color on your home using a chip of paint or wet sample. Even if you do not remember the original color codes, we can still match the color.
