Which paint sheen should I use in each room?
Flat and matte finishes hide wall flaws and suit ceilings and quiet rooms. Eggshell and satin wipe clean more easily and suit living areas, bedrooms and hallways. Semi-gloss stands up to moisture and scrubbing, so it suits trim, doors, kitchens and bathrooms.
Can you paint my kitchen cabinets?
Yes. Painting is a good way to update cabinets that are still solid. We clean, sand and prime the boxes, doors and drawer fronts, then paint them with a finish made for cabinets so it holds up to daily use. If the boxes are damaged or you want a new layout, we'll recommend new cabinets instead.
What exterior paint holds up in Houston-area weather?
A quality acrylic exterior paint, applied over clean, repaired and primed surfaces, holds up well to Houston-area heat, sun and humidity. The prep matters as much as the paint: loose paint scraped away, gaps caulked and bare wood primed.
How long does a painting project take?
A few rooms move quickly. A full interior or a whole exterior takes longer, and exterior work also depends on the weather, since paint needs dry conditions to go on and cure. You get the expected schedule before work starts.
When do I choose colors and sheens?
Before work starts. After the site walk, we sit down with you and choose every color, sheen and paint brand, room by room. Every choice goes on a written materials list that you approve with your estimate. Questions like satin or eggshell get settled on paper, before anyone opens a can of paint.
How much does painting cost?
Cost depends on the size of the area, the prep it needs, the number of colors and the paint you choose. After the site walk, we price the exact colors and finishes you picked and send a detailed estimate in writing. The estimate is free.
