How we work
The order the work happens in
Step 01
Protect first
Floors covered, furniture centred and sheeted, fixtures and hardware removed rather than masked around where removal is quicker and cleaner.
Step 02
Repair and sand
Nail pops, cracks, and old anchor holes filled, then sanded flush. Glossy surfaces are dulled so the next coat has something to hold.
Step 03
Prime what needs it
Bare drywall, patched areas, stains, and any colour change that would otherwise need three coats gets spot- or full-primed.
Step 04
Two finish coats
Cut in by brush, rolled to a consistent texture, and inspected under a work light before we call a wall done.
Occupied homes are the norm, not the exception. We tidy at the end of each day rather than at the end of the job.
Standards
Why the work is worth signing
Most people calling a painter have been let down by one before. The crew that started strong and thinned out by the third day. The estimate that grew once the furniture was already moved. The south-facing trim that looked right in June and was peeling by the second winter.
None of that comes from a lack of care. It comes from prep that was skipped because nobody would ever see it, and from a schedule that was never written down. Both are fixable, and both are worth asking any painter about before you sign, including us.
Two coats over a fully primed substrate
Bare and patched areas are spot-primed before anything else goes on. Two finish coats, every time, not one coat called two because it was back-rolled.
Prep documented in photos
You get photographs of the sanding, patching, and masking before a finish coat covers them. Prep is the part you cannot inspect afterwards, so we record it.
The same crew, start to finish
The people who start your job finish it. No handoff to a second crew halfway through, and no subcontracting the work out once the estimate is signed.
A written start and finish date
Both dates are on the estimate before you sign. If we are going to miss one, you hear it from us first, not on the day.
