General Painting FAQs
How long will it take?
Every project is different depending on the prep and scope of work.
Who will be inside my home?
A background checked professional craftsman who is also an employee with full liability and workman’s compensation coverage.
How many coats will we get?
Unless otherwise specified in your scope of work we typically paint to cover, the same or similar color may only need one coat, why pay for extra coats you don’t need? If the trim is going the same color and sheen one coat may suffice. Always refer back to the scope of work
When do we pay
We schedule after the deposit is received, after that unless otherwise specified your foreman will receive payment on the last day of the job.
Will the owner of the company be painting?
No, to keep the company running he has focused on having quality people surround him and run the day to day operations. All of our painters go through rigorous training.
What will you do first on our job?
Typically the foreman will walk through the job on the first day to go over the job and scope of work, at this time he or she will tell you how the job will be sequenced.
Will they leave me touch up paint?
Yes, we will leave at least a quart of each color.
What time will they start each day?
We usually work from 8am until 430 pm. Other arrangements can be arranged if needed but must be known at the time of estimate.
Do you spray or roll?
This depends on the situation, most exterior work such as siding we will spray after careful masking. Some jobs spraying is needed others it is brush and roll, we will let you know which your job needs.
How do I select my colors?
We will send a color sheet for you to write your colors down to supply to us before ordering. Should you need help figuring colors we also offer a color consultation.
Why does my paint look different? Are you using the wrong color?
When you select a color generally it is off of a paper sample, when you put this on the wall in real life, lighting whether, from the sun, ceiling lights can certainly change the look of the color even from wall to wall.
Will there be touch-ups?
Most likely yes, we will do these after a walk through with you on the last day of the job.
When will my job be scheduled?
We schedule after received deposits and signed contracts on a first come first served basis. After receipt of these, we have a once a week scheduling meeting and someone will reach out to you after with a tentative date. Our schedule is fluid, an exact day cannot be given until closer to the start date.
How many painters will be on my project?
This is variable and we will man the project with the correct amount of painters we see fit for the job based on historical production from previous jobs. Please do not call with requests for more painters.
