Frequently asked questions

We typically use Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore products, but are happy to accommodate special requests.

High quality paints provide better durability, better coverage, and a smoother finish. The higher amounts of premium pigments and binders contribute to higher stain and fade resistance, and, especially in higher sheens, can withstand frequent washing without damaging the surface of the paint.

We cover all floors with drop cloths and relevant furniture, cabinets, surfaces, etc. with paper or plastic sheeting.

Our standard practice is to fill all unwanted small holes and cracks for every job. When it comes to larger holes or damage, we accept small to medium drywall tasks on an hourly basis. We will spackle (or tape and mud if necessary), sand the surface smooth, and also apply texture if preferred.

We typically move furniture and smaller artwork/frames back when the walls are dry to the touch. Heavier items (large photos, mirrors, etc.) placed directly on painted surfaces should wait 5-6 days, keeping in mind the paint might still be slightly soft. Check after a few hours for sticking if concerned.

We happily accept checks, cash, or Zelle. We unfortunately do not accept credit cards at this time.

We typically recommend using oil-based penetrating stains, these stains absorb into the wood instead of sitting on the surface, which prevents peeling. Water-based stains are best used on vertical surfaces or severely damaged/weathered wood. Water-based stains have a tendency to peel over time, while oil-based stains usually fade instead.

Nope! Most of our clients just head out and go about their day while we take care of the heavy lifting. We’ll keep you in the loop and make sure everything is locked up tight when we're done.

Yes, we remove wallpaper for $55 per hour plus the cost of the steamer rental. Although uncommon, it should be noted that sometimes the wall behind the wallpaper was not prepped properly. We like to warn our clients just in case, as the wall may need to be repaired to varying degrees, and depending on your existing texture and the extent of the damage, you may need to hire a professional drywall company.
