Common Questions

Do you move furniture before painting?

Preparation includes protecting your home and furnishings. We help move and cover furniture as needed to keep your space safe and organized during the project.

For oversized or delicate items, we’ll coordinate with you ahead of time to ensure everything is properly protected.

How long will my interior project take?

Quality isn't about rushing to the finish line. While every home is unique, we provide a clear timeline before we start. We don't believe in projects that drag on; we believe in doing it right the first time.

What kind of prep work do you do?

The best finish is 90% preparation. We don't just slap paint on a wall. We handle the sanding, caulking, and minor repairs that ensure your home looks beautiful for years, not just weeks.

Is the estimate the final price?

We don't like surprises, and we know you don't either. Your quote is a firm promise. Unless the scope of the work changes, the price we shake on is the price you pay.
