Painting your home this month but still not sure about the color?

We bring large peel and stick samples and put them right on your wall. They come off clean and leave no mark on your paint. You see your color in your own light, then we measure your rooms and hand you a price in writing before we leave.

The problem

The hard part is not picking a painter. It is getting a straight answer.

Most people get a few quotes before they decide. So you make some calls. Some do not call back. The ones that do come out, walk around, and tell you they will send a number later.

Then you are comparing prices that are hundreds of dollars apart, and nothing explains why.

We do it in one visit.

You see your real colors on your real walls. You get a written price before we leave, broken out by room so you can see what you are paying for. And you get a straight answer about what your walls need, even if it is not what you were hoping to hear.

The visit

Your free visit

About an hour. You keep all of it, even if you hire someone else.

01

See up to three colors on your own wall

We bring large peel and stick samples and put them up in the room. They stick like a sticker and peel right off, so nothing gets painted and nothing gets damaged. Move them around, look at them in your morning light, then again at night. A chip from the store lies to you. Your own wall does not.

02

Get your price before we leave

Fixed, in writing, broken out by room. You will know exactly what you are paying for. No waiting days for a number.

03

Hear what your walls actually need

What needs patching, what needs priming, and what will take extra work. If something is not a paint problem, we will tell you that too.

04

Find out what can wait

If a room does not need painting, we will say so. We would rather do three rooms right than talk you into six.

Get my colors and price

No fees. No pressure. No obligation. We call you once, and if it is not a fit, we will not bother you again.

The process

How we will paint your home

  1. 01

    We protect your home

    We cover your furniture, your floors, and the path we walk through to get there. Then we tape your trim, window frames and outlets, so the only thing that gets paint is the wall.

  2. 02

    We fix the walls before we paint

    We wash them, because paint will not stick to grease or dust. We fill every hole, dent and ding, then sand it flat. Every patch and bare spot gets primer, so nothing shows through later.

  3. 03

    Two coats, then we clean up

    Always two coats of Benjamin Moore, in the colors you picked. We clean up every evening and put things back, so you are never living in a mess overnight.

  4. 04

    We walk through it with you

    Room by room, in daylight. You point out anything you do not like, and we fix it before you pay.

Questions

Questions people ask

Will the samples damage my paint?

No. They are peel and stick, so they come off clean and leave nothing behind. We never put wet paint on your wall during the visit.

How many colors can I see?

Up to three. Tell us what you are thinking about on the phone, and we will bring those.

What if I have no idea what color I want?

That is normal. Tell us what you like and what the room is for, and we will bring three options to look at.

How soon can you start?

[Your real lead time.] We will give you your exact dates at the visit.

How long will my home be torn up?

Most rooms take a couple of days. You will know the exact days before you sign. We clean up every evening, so you are never living in a mess overnight.

Do I have to move out?

No. We work room by room so you can keep living there. If you would rather we work while you are away, that is fine too.

Why is your price different from the quote I already got?

Ask what the other quote includes. Ours covers paint, materials, covering your furniture and floors, washing, patching, sanding, primer, two coats, daily cleanup, and no tipping. Prep is the part that makes paint last, and it is usually where quotes differ.

What do I need to do before you arrive?

Put away valuables and anything breakable. We handle the covering and the floors.

What about the smell?

We use low odor paint and keep the room ventilated. Tell us about kids, pets or anyone sensitive, and we will plan around it.

Do you paint ceilings, trim and doors?

Yes. We will price them at the visit, and you decide what is in and what is out.

What if I have a water stain or a peeling ceiling?

That usually means moisture, and it needs a plumber or roofer before anyone paints. We will tell you what we see and point you in the right direction. Once it is fixed, we are happy to handle the paint.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. CSLB #1162436. We are bonded and insured, and we will send you proof before we start.

How much does it cost?

Every home is different, so we will not guess over the phone. Most projects start at $[X]. You will have an exact number before we leave your home.
