An interior painting project that needed the utmost preparation because all surfaces must be clean and free of dust and paint splatter.
Preparation
So Ryan Amato Painting carefully prepared all the walls for the high end paint from Benjamin Moore
They spackled any dings and dents in the walls, carefully and thoroughly inspected the walls for any signs of cracks or failing paint coatings that were evident.
After this they sanded any spackle using fine sandpaper, this is to reduce any dust, because being preventative is easier than cleaning.
All spackle was spot primed using a top quality interior primer so a proper finishes are achieved.
Finish Coats
It is important to sand the walls before and after the first coat says Ryan Amato

Because to achieve that ultra smooth finish desired with a high end painting project, proper application is a must.
Inspection
After both coats were applied and allowed to dry the lead painter inspected the walls for any deviations or touch ups needed.
Then the lead painter is to walk with the client to make sure any touch ups needed or concerns are addressed right away.
After this process was completed, a quality assurance form was mutually signed, so both the lead painter and homeowner have approved the work to 100% satisfaction.
Pictures
Here are some amazing pictures from this interior painting project,
Comparing estimates seems to be the thing to do, we all do it, get three estimates put them side by side and look at the pricing but when I tell you how impossible that is you may think and look at it another way.
The three estimates you received, if you took those three contractors and had them in the same room at the same time they still would come back with totally different ways to do the job.
Maybe using different materials, different applications. different workforces and for sure different overhead.
The most important difference and one we aim for is a totally different experience.
You all have called around to contractors, how many call you back? or take forever to call back or never do?
How many keep you updated on the process, help choose colors.
Train their staff and have a ton of resources behind them to help make sure your job goes well even when something goes wrong?
If they do show up for the estimate how long does it take to get the estimate back to you?
For us it is the same day or next.
Do they have one person dedicated to making sure your project goes well and your totally satisfied? We do.
I am asking you to forget the norm and throw away price shopping for a second.
Also the price may be important for some but if it costs a bit more for the satisfaction of knowing you have no worries or responsibilities, and can be assured no matter what you will be happy isn't that worth it?
If you had an issue with someone calling you back or showing up on time for your estimate what happens once the painting project starts?
You will always find someone cheaper but at what expense to your home or project?
Asking the correct questions
A major issue in the painting and construction trades is insurance.
Listen, things may and will go wrong from time to time.
Is your contractor insured with the proper liability insurance AND worker's compensation to cover all their workers?
This is not something you want to find out about after the fact and be surprised your now responsible.
Available right away?
Did you call a painter the last second and needed them the next day, and they are free?
That is a red flag, of course there are variables here, maybe their schedule freed up due to a cancellation or delay.
But trust me, most good contractors, and painters are not readily available to start a project immediately.
4-6 weeks or more is the norm for a good contractor, I would highly suggest digging even deeper with the questions if someone is available right away.
NO company has an unlimited amount of quality painters ready to go when a call comes in if they do great work in most cases.
No matter who you choose to do your painting work, we want it to be a great experience, there are many good painting companies out there.
The goal is to find one who delivers what they promised, meets your expectations and your totally comfortable with.
Once you find that company, there is no need in the future to continue to get multiple estimates. You already have your go to trusted painting contractor
On the estimate
Please be home for your estimate and be present, turn off all phones, computers and not be on a conference call.
This is an important time to be available and to share your wants, needs and expectations for your project.
Please be aware, scheduling an onsite estimate or virtual estimate with us, we audio and may video record estimates, your scheduling of an estimate is acceptance and agreement of this. It may be used for training and or social media.
Please put all pets away so we may be able to discuss the project, although we love pets, we will want to lay with them and it can become distracting

4) Turf Painting
Yes it is a "thing"
Many people outside of turf management industries are surprised by the notion of painting their lawns as if painting their home walls. However, turf colorants have long been used in sports industries, especially golf course management.
When compared with many other lawn care practices, applying green grass paints can be the most efficient, economical and water-conserving way to achieve green grass.
Whether a lawn is relatively healthy or is facing disease or pest challenges, green grass paints provide a way to attain a great looking healthy lawn quickly, inexpensively and without harmful chemicals.
This can be a quick remedy for event preparation, such as an outdoor wedding, BBQ, party or picnic.
It’s also a helpful way to get a quick boost in curb appeal when selling a home or when dealing with challenges such as drought or water restrictions.
