COLOR & MATERIAL SELECTION
Not sure which color, sheen or product to choose? We can help select the right finish for the space and surface, recommend materials, and purchase the paint and standard project supplies for you.
PREMIUM LOW-ODOR OPTIONS
For interior projects we can use premium low-VOC, zero-VOC and low-odor paint options, including products such as Benjamin Moore Eco Spec and Sherwin-Williams Emerald when appropriate for the project. These options help reduce strong paint odor and make painting an occupied home more comfortable.
MOISTURE & EXTERIOR AREAS
Bathrooms, kitchens and other moisture-prone areas require the right coating system. For decks, balconies, porches and exterior surfaces, we select finishes suited to weather and surface conditions.
PREP & CLEAN LINES
Every project starts with prep: filling nail holes, sanding, caulking gaps, priming patches and protecting floors and furniture. Then two coats, crisp lines at the ceiling and trim, and a clean room when we leave.
Pricing
Hourly service pricing starts at $80/hour for full-day bookings under our standard pricing structure. Larger rooms, multi-room projects, exterior work and commercial painting are typically priced as a fixed project. Call or text us for a fast, free estimate.
