Step1

Reach Out

Getting started is simple. You can either submit a request through our convenient website form or give us a call directly. On the rare occasion that we aren’t able to answer your call right away, rest assured we’ll follow up the same day or the next business day if your request comes in after hours or on a weekend. Our goal is to make the process stress-free from the very beginning, so you never feel left in the dark.

Step2

Phone Consultation

Once you’ve reached out, we’ll schedule a phone consultation where we can learn more about your project. During this call, we’ll ask questions to better understand your needs and determine if it’s a project we’re able to take on. Sometimes, we may request that you send photos of the project area so we can evaluate more effectively. If it looks like we’re the right fit, we’ll schedule a free on-site consultation to see everything firsthand.

Step3

Project Site Visit

Next, one of our experienced consultants will meet you at the project site. We typically ask for two things: first, to set aside about an hour for the appointment, and second, to give us ten minutes at the start to go over your goals in detail. This helps us clearly understand your vision and priorities. Afterward, we’ll take a full walkthrough of the project space together so we can align expectations before moving forward.

Step4

Estimate

Following the walkthrough, your consultant will prepare a detailed estimate. For straightforward projects, we often provide the estimate the same day. For more complex projects, we take careful notes to ensure accuracy, and you’ll receive the estimate via email within two business days. In every case, the estimate is itemized and transparent, leaving no guesswork about what’s included. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect in terms of scope, materials, and cost.

Step7

Prep Work

Preparation is often the most important and time-consuming part of any painting project. Our team will carefully protect surrounding areas, cover furniture and floors, and make sure all adjoining surfaces are shielded. We’ll also clean, sand, and prime the surfaces as needed, sealing gaps with caulk to create a smooth and long-lasting finish. This meticulous preparation ensures that when it comes time to apply the paint, it adheres properly and delivers lasting results.

Step5

Scheduling Your Project

Once you approve the estimate, you can accept it electronically with ease. From there, you’ll receive an electronic invoice where you can pay your 50% deposit to secure your spot on our schedule. After payment is received, our dedicated Field Manager will contact you to arrange a start date that works best for you. If your project involves painting and new colors, we also provide a complimentary color consultation to help finalize your selections.

Step8

Painting

After all the prep work is complete, it’s time for the transformation. Our skilled painters apply high-quality paints with precision, bringing your vision to life. This is the stage where all the careful planning and preparation pay off, as surfaces are renewed and your space begins to look better than ever. Watching the final colors come together is one of the most rewarding parts of the process.

Step6

Pre-Project Walkthrough

At the beginning of your project, your assigned Foreman will meet with you for a final walkthrough. During this meeting, we’ll revisit all the project details, confirm colors, and address any final questions you may have. This step ensures absolute clarity for both you and our crew before work begins. Together, we’ll also establish a workflow that minimizes disruption to your daily routine and keeps the project running smoothly.

Step9

Post-Project Walkthrough

When the painting is finished, we don’t just pack up and leave. Instead, we’ll walk through the project with you to ensure everything matches the original estimate and meets your expectations. If there’s anything that needs attention, we’ll address it on the spot. For added peace of mind, all of our work is backed by a two-year written warranty, so you can trust your investment is protected long after the project is complete.
