Updating the look of the kitchen: A fresh coat of paint can give the kitchen a completely new look and feel.
Improving the durability of the cabinets: Painted cabinets are more resistant to scratches and stains than unpainted ones.

Getting Your Best Painting Estimate

 How to get your best painting estimate


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
